    1971 MORGAN 4/4 4-SEATER
    Chassis No: B2513; Engine No: ID5-A919
  • Notes:
    The Morgan Motor Co. Ltd was founded in 1909 in Malvern Link, Worcestershire, England. Rather remarkably since the cessation of hostilities after the first world war, the designs, apart from the engine unit, have changed little over the intervening years. The model designation 4/4 (four-cylinders, four-wheels) was first seen in 1935/6 and by the outbreak of the second world war 812 units had been sold. In 1946 production was resumed. Most 4/4s, built up until 1950, were sold to the export market. In 1956 the 4/4 name was revived and the car continued in production with progressive engine upgrades, with the Ford 1599cc Kent power plant utilised between 1969 and 1982. Disc brakes were added in 1961 and an all synchromesh gearbox in 1963 but apart from that changes were few and far between. The Morgan 4/4 is still manufactured today making it the world’s longest-running production vehicle. It is an iconic model and the most associated with Morgan, builders of quintessential sports cars, and the last remaining independent family owned British motor manufacturer. This fine example of a four-seater Morgan 4/4, according to its accompanying Morgan Factory Chassis Record, was despatched RHD in Royal Ivory on 6th September 1971 via the agent, Tellimark Agricultural Supplies of New Guinea. The car made its way to Perth and into the hands of Eric & Toni Cecil. The current owner shipped the car to Melbourne and around 10 years ago undertook a high-quality restoration at the hands of specialist Nick Langford, former owner and manager of Historic & Vintage Restoration. This is a great example of a very useable and fun British sports car. This vehicle will be sold unregistered.
