This Morgan 4/4 has a remarkable history dating back to its delivery on February 10th, 1993. Its first owner, Mr. M.G. Merrett of Whaddon, was undoubtedly delighted to receive this pristine vehicle directly from the factory. This particular Morgan 4/4 boasts a striking Connaught Green exterior complemented by Black Ambla Vinyl, a combination that continues to turn heads. At its inception, this vehicle came equipped with a host of notable features, including a scuttle roll bar, a luggage carrier, underseal for added protection, a galvanized chassis to withstand the test of time, and an alloy body and wings that embody the Morgan's distinctive charm. Mr. Merrett, the initial owner, spared no expense in caring for this Morgan 4/4. He diligently had it serviced at the Morgan Service Department until 2005 when the odometer read 59,000 miles, a testament to his commitment to its maintenance. Over the years, this car has enjoyed the stewardship of four subsequent owners, each of whom shared Mr. Merrett's dedication to meticulous care. Today, with 77,200 miles on the clock, the Morgan continues to run and drive beautifully, reflecting the enduring quality and craftsmanship for which Morgans are renowned. Recent previous work has included a new fuel pump in 2020. The Front shock absorbers were new in 2014, and the rear telescopic shock absorbers in 2011. The cambelt was changed in 2005, 2011 and in June 2023. In the last year service work has been done by the specialist, Brands Hatch Morgan. This has included new rear wheel cylinders and brake pads, new front brake callipers, gear lever connector, new seat webbing for the driver’s seat, a new cambelt and tensioner, new fuel pressure regulator, a new steering universal joint and an engine oil change.
A treasure trove of historical documents accompanies this Morgan, providing a comprehensive insight into its journey. The extensive history file contains a complete service history, including a copy of the original sales invoice, an owner's handbook to guide its guardians, three sets of keys for safekeeping, a workshop manual for those inclined towards hands-on care, and the original factory brochure, a timeless piece of automotive history. Further items included with the car are an excellent black PVC hood, a mohair tonneau, the original excellent aluminium front and rear bumpers, headrests, wheel spanner, jack, original steering wheel, an excellent spare Astrali steering wheel, Morgan sidescreen bag and a nylon storm cover. In summary, this Morgan 4/4 is a meticulously maintained classic that has passed through the hands of devoted enthusiasts, each contributing to its remarkable story. With its striking appearance, excellent condition, and rich history, this 4/4 is a testament to the enduring allure of British craftsmanship and automotive artistry.
