The seller offers for sale a Morgan 4/4 from 1981, presented as a cabriolet with manual transmission and a 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol engine. This Morgan is powered by a Ford Cortina engine and shows a mileage of 68,500 km. The car benefits from a well-documented ownership history, with invoices and supporting paperwork available. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly, providing the characteristic mechanical and engaging driving feel for which the Morgan 4/4 is known. The paintwork is described as original, while the interior features beige leather that was redone in the original colour scheme in 2012.
As a cabriolet, this Morgan 4/4 is fitted with a fabric soft top, which is included with the car. The roof shows light signs of use consistent with age, remains watertight and functions as intended. The soft top mechanism operates correctly and may benefit from light lubrication, making it suitable for both occasional use and touring in changing weather conditions.
The Morgan 4/4 is one of the longest-running production models in automotive history and represents the essence of traditional British sports car design. Introduced before the Second World War, the 4/4 remained true to its lightweight construction, wooden frame and simple mechanical layout for decades. Its combination of modest power, low weight and direct steering delivers a pure and rewarding driving experience. The model is admired for its timeless appearance, hand-built character and strong connection between car and driver. Today, the Morgan 4/4 continues to attract enthusiasts who appreciate classic motoring, open-top enjoyment and a brand with a rich and distinctive heritage.
