Dad's Morgan
Found this old picture of his Plus 4 - I think it must have been a 1953 or 54 (Standard Vanguard Engine). He seemed to think it was a limited run with an 'in between' grill.

TBM that is a very lovely photo. Your father is a young man full of driving pleasure and owner pride.
I have learned here that this interim models are very rare, made about 12 or so?

It is an interim model, but most have been converted to cowls over the years.
.+8 Now gone for a 1800 4/4. Duratec in bright yellow.

Thank you - he's now 84, and very keen to be one of the first passengers when I get my first....

Wonderful picture . Great to see it. The only other interim grill/cowled car I can remember is that of the late Pat Kennet , now owned by his widdow Carol? So yes they are indeed very rare.
I will try to dig out a picture of that one from somewhere.

I just checked the DVLA web site, and they have no record relating to the reg number on the car.

Still around - at least in 1980 as a photo of the car appears on the back cover of Ken Hills book 'The Four Wheeled Morgan Vol 2'
May have been exported?

What colour is it? The factory could, I imagine, tell you the chassis number from the registration. That might make it easier to track down if it's been exported. Ken Hill suggests that there was a maximum of 19 of these interim cowl models produced and some of these would have been four seaters.
