Entering its seventy-first year in 2006, the Morgan 4/4 was already well established as the world’s longest-running production model. To celebrate, the Malvern manufacturer commissioned a run of 142 ‘70^th Anniversary Edition’ cars (two per build year). Each decade was given its own ‘identity’ in terms of paint colours, soft-top designs and upholstery etc. Although, every ‘70^th Anniversary Edition’ featured a fold-flat windscreen, bespoke dashboard, sheepskin bonnet strap, rubber mats and steel wheels with chrome hubcaps not to mention a St Christoper badge and wood-rim Moto Lita steering wheel both of which were inscribed with the model year it represented. Mechanically identical to a standard Morgan 4/4 1800, the ‘70^th Anniversary Edition’ cars were powered by a Ford Duratec 1800cc DOHC four-cylinder engine allied to five-speed manual transmission. With some 125bhp and 119lbft of torque on tap plus a kerb weight of only 820kg, the two-seater was a spirited performer that was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 7.8 seconds and 114mph. Among Morgan’s most sought after limited edition models, the ‘70^th Anniversary Edition’ cars still enjoy a strong following.

One of the two ‘1952’ cars, chassis 4L00134 is finished in the stunning combination of Duck Egg Blue with Black leather upholstery and Dark Blue weather equipment. Supplied new via Thomson & Potter of Perth, ‘SH06 NKR’ had covered some 11,988 miles by the time it entered the current (second) ownership during October 2020. Starting readily and running well during our recent photography session, the Morgan remains highly presentable. Indeed, we struggled to locate any stone chips to its frontage. Well maintained whilst in the vendor’s care, regular fettling has been augmented by a new electronic control unit for the Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve and four new tyres last year. Built to commemorate the year that Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II took the throne, ‘SH06 NKR’ is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document and history file.
