A MORGAN IS UNIQUE

The Morgan Motor Company is one of the oldest British manufacturers, and until two months ago it was still owned by the family of Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan, who founded it in 1909.

Since then Morgan has been synonimous with handbuilt traditional sports cars: in the past forty years, they were considered like new Vintage cars.

This motor car was built in late 1992, and then sent to the official Morgan dealer in Rome.

Morgan’s own paperwork states it was equipped with a two liter Rover T16 engine, with number 20T4HG64-100159, while the gearbox was number 28°0191920H and the rear axle M92-49. We even have the number of the original key, which is 7465.

Meticulously maintained by its custodian, this Morgan still has the original Connaught Green paint, with black leather upholstery. She was ordered with many options, such as chromed wire wheels, galvanised chassis, dashboard roll bar, seat belts, and many more.

Despite its Vintage look, this car, with 132 bhp and a weight of just 1000 kg, modern tyres and brakes, allows for a very exciting performance level.

It is like new and therefore represents a unique opportunity to buy a Morgan before it gets in the very closed group of Morgan collectors and traders. In addition, the Brand having been sold to the Investment Trust which already owns Aston Martin, we can be sure that the next models will be faster, more luxurious but much more expensive and thus inaccessible.

This may be one of the last opportunity to afford a ‘proper Morgan’.

This vehicle is in excellent mechanical condition but for safety reasons, we advise the purchaser to have it checked over and to replace the fluids, filters and perishable elements.
