The seller offers for sale this 1971 Morgan 4/4 cabriolet, a rare hand-built British sports car known for its timeless style and engaging drive. This example is with its third owner and has participated in several regularity races. It has always been stored under cover, ensuring preservation. The car was repainted four years ago and shows only minimal signs of use. The black leather interior and dashboard are in good condition, with minor wear consistent with age. The 1.6-litre engine starts without issues, runs smoothly with no smoke or unusual noises, and the gearbox shifts cleanly. Electrical functions and lights operate as they should. No visible rust, never involved in an accident, and recently inspected, this Morgan offers a true analogue driving experience combined with classic open-top motoring.
Founded in 1910, Morgan Motor Company has become synonymous with hand-crafted sports cars blending vintage charm with spirited driving. The Morgan Four by Four, introduced in the late 1930s, was the brand’s first four-wheeled car and remained in production in evolving forms for decades. With its lightweight construction, agile handling, and unmistakable design, the model became a favourite among enthusiasts seeking classic roadster thrills. The 1971 version retained traditional coachbuilt techniques, offering a direct and mechanical connection between driver, road, and machine. Today, Morgans are cherished for their individuality, exclusivity, and enduring appeal as collectible sports cars.
