EXTERIOR
This hand-built British sports car has a unique character that conjures up a bygone motoring era and is certainly not to be missed in the vibrant colour of Golden Yellow, (Code 0456), a factory optional special colour chosen from the ICI Autocolour range. A one owner example having covered just 5,957 miles from new, this pristine Morgan has been garaged from new and used in dry conditions. The paintwork is stunning and all hand-built body panels creating the iconic Morgan shape are perfect with a few touched-in chips. The chassis, ash frame and underside wear factory applied protection to ensure complete preservation. The hood too is factory fitment, and all tonneaus, clips, screens and fasteners are fully intact to offer flawless all-weather protection. Skilled traditional coachbuilding at its best from one of Britain’s oldest car manufacturers, still under stewardship of the fourth generation of the Morgan family.
INTERIOR
Once in the cockpit the driver is treated to an overwhelming sense of involvement only possible in a traditionally hand-built Morgan. The one and only owner specified optional Black HB/PAC leather upholstery with Yellow leather piping to the seats and carpets with leather trimmed dashboard and switch panel, also factory optional. In line with the minuscule mileage, the sumptuous hide is pristine and carpets remain plump. All interior trim is virtually as new and interior functions, controls and gauges perform impeccably. A classic British sports car cockpit.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Being a 1998 model, this Morgan is fitted with the proven Rover T-Series 1994cc engine. Producing 134bhp at 6000prm in a car weighing just 1,000kg, the car feels spirited with a throaty exhaust rasp from the original stainless steel exhaust system. The traditional central spine hinged bonnets wear genuine Morgan Leather bonnet corner-edge protectors and lift to reveal a beautifully clean engine compartment. The 5-speed R380 gearbox with a single dry plate clutch is precise, light and progressive.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Spotless optional centre lock chrome wire wheels display a perfect mirror finish to both the rim and delicate spokes. Shod in branded Avon 195/60 R15 tyres retaining masses of tread and a full size spare sits in the rear cradle. AP Lockheed four pot callipers hydraulic disc brakes up front and drums at the rear ensure safe stopping and the sporting Fly-Off handbrake compete the package.
HISTORY FILE
This exceptional Morgan Plus 4-4 has covered just 5,957 miles from new with only one owner. Mr Marcall’s Morgan journey began with this car over 30 years ago in 1994 when he first enquired about ordering a bespoke Plus 4-4 built. Foresight on his behalf dictated the four-seater model because he knew that one day, he would chauffeur his two daughters in the car on their wedding day! The beautifully presented history file tells the story right from the start with pre-build correspondence from Cheshire Morgans Limited who were the supplying agent. Letters have been kept from the initial enquiry as well as confirmation that construction of the car would commence on the 27th October 1997. Order forms have been kept and the original sales invoice outline the eventual purchase price of £29,732.39, Morgan buyers well aware that due to the several yearlong waiting list, the final purchase figure is based on list price at the time of delivery, not order! Thankfully, Mr Marcall opted for the chargeable photographic build record which documents everything from frame up assembly to paint, interior, upholstery and finishing touches. All point-of-sale documentation, correspondence, handbook/service record, brochures and price lists from Cheshire Morgans Limited has been kept and date of registration was the 6th January 1998. The comprehensive history folder also holds every MOT certificate dating back to the first in 2001 and service records to fully verify 5,957 miles from new. Mr Marcall, a member of the Morgan Sports Car Club, has attended shows and even gained a trophy for Public’s Choice car at a prestigious event in 2022.
The most recent service was in March 2025 and a full inspection, cambelt change and brake overhaul was carried out in June 2025. A unique example and one of the finest Morgan Plus 4-4’s in existence.
