Morgan made its name with its fearsome brand of three-wheelers and the 4-4 (later 4/4) was its first four-wheeled creation (4-4 signifying four wheels and four cylinders). Launched in 1936, it was initially powered by an 1122cc OISE four-cylinder Coventry Climax engine, but this was superseded in 1939 by a 1267cc Triumph unit driving through a Moss gearbox. It proved deservedly popular and, by 1939, 663 Two-Seater examples had been produced. Like its earlier brethren, the 4-4 was quick to prove its worth in competition contesting such blue ribband events as the Tourist Trophy (1937) and Le Mans 24 hours (1938, 1939). Indeed, Prudence Fawcett and her co-driver Geoffrey White won their class and finished 13th overall during the 1938 running of the latter event.
One of just 820 pre-war Morgan 4/4s produced, BMO 338 was subject to a recent comprehensive 4 year restoration with several tasteful upgrades which was completed in 2024. Proudly retaining it's original 1100cc Coventry Climax engine and gearbox the car is finished in British Racing Green complimented by a grey leather interior. Offered for sale with a Morgan Chassis Record and VSCC Eligibility Document to complete an impressive history file with receipts from the restoration totalling c.£12,500 being included.
