I'm going to see a Morgan with the following description and would appreciate any thoughts/comments.
"A fine useable example of a 1988 aluminium, wide-bodied, low-line Morgan 4/4 in Royal Ivory. 146912 miles but new 1905cc engine (cvh), gearbox and clutch at 85000. Recent full service (July 2024) with overhaul of braking system (rear brake cylinder) and brake fluid change. One previous owner and in my enthusiastic ownership for past 26 years. Full service history and documentation going back to around three years pre-purchase by first owner (including correspondence with Peter Morgan). Since then I have kept the car in excellent running order (plus new rear springs, clutch, new radiator, etc). New alternator Jan 2022. Galvanized chassis, aluminium bodywork and Cuprinol retreated ash frame. Replaced rocker (cam) cover and sump gaskets August 7th 2021. Garaged and rarely driven in the rain. MOT until 26th June 2025. Desirable extras over standard Morgan 4/4 - roll bar and scuttle roll bar, new leather a few years ago, ash frame re-treated, sports exhaust manifold (plus spare straight through stainless steel exhaust), Plus 8 spots (different replacement lens in one), Moto-lite steering wheel and restored walnut dash with non original warning lights, adjustable rear Spax shocks. Five new wire wheels and tyres in 2020 (£1500) utterly transforming the car's response. Many spare bits and pieces. Not in concours condition but bodywork in excellent condition. Easy lift hood swivel levers just fitted also, plus spare tonneau".
Very genuine seller. It's obviously a very high mileage tough with the new engine. Maybe a good first Morgan?
