Lot details

Registration No: PO59 NFV
Chassis No: SA94430H291004422
MOT: October 2025

  • One of just 63 Centenary 100 Limited Editions produced
  • Offered directly from its one and only owner, a long-term Morgan enthusiast
  • Just 37,000 miles from new
  • Limited edition features such as paintwork and interior finishes, and stainless-steel wire wheels
  • Offered with documented service history

Introduced in 2004 as a replacement for the Plus 8, the first-series Morgan Roadster was powered by a Ford 3.0-litre 24-valve V6 engine allied to five-speed manual transmission. The traditionalist Morgan buyer thought that the 3.0 litre power unit initially installed wouldn't have the 'beef' required, but the reality was that it was more than capable, with a massive rev range. Bodied in steel / aluminium-over-ash frame and weighing just 940kg, the two-seater was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds and 134mph.

Built to celebrate 100 years of Morgan, the limited edition 100 Centenary models were all finished in striking Metallic Amazon Green paintwork and had features over the standard specification including a Green mohair hood with matching tonneau cover (spare wheel cover and sidescreen bags were optional extras), stainless steel wire wheels with Morgan spinners, a Motolita wood rim steering wheel, burr walnut dashboard, reclining sports seats with perforated leather, stainless steel chassis cover with Morgan badges, Morgan Centenary dashboard badge, and Edition plate on the firewall. There is some confusion about the actual number of Roadster 100s manufactured, with it estimated that there were only 63 made of what was obviously an intended production of 100. Production only began mid-way through the 2009 Centenary Year and went well into 2010, with the first car displayed at the Centenary Celebrations in September 2009 at Cheltenham Racecourse.

Manufactured in 2009, number 036 of the Centenary 100 Roadsters produced was supplied new via the Morgan agents in Southport, Lifes Motors Ltd. Purchased new by the vendor, the Morgan's one and only owner, this 100 is one of very few examples specified with the non-standard Black leather interior upholstery (instead of the standard Sand leather), and features the optional sidescreen bags and tonneau cover, as well as the luggage rack. The vendor, a Morgan enthusiast and serial owner, thereafter used ‘PO59 NFV’ as his sole car until now being offered for auction in the upcoming sale due to his advancing years. Covering some 37,000 miles from new during this period, the vendor and his wife have enjoyed tours of Scotland, Ireland and Italy in the Morgan too.

Benefitting from regular servicing throughout the Morgan's singular ownership, there are eight services documented in the accompanying history file, the most recent being at 36,067 miles, as well as fitment of a new aluminium radiator at c.24,000 miles. The aforementioned history file contains numerous previous invoices, a collection of MOT certificates showing very few advisories throughout the Morgan's life, a Certificate of Conformity from the Morgan Motor Company, a current MOT until October this year with no advisory notes and a current V5C document showing zero former keepers. Boasting its supplying dealership registration plates and original aluminium tool-kit stowed in the rear, the vendor rated the Morgan as 'excellent' with regard to bodywork, paintwork, engine, electrics, and gearbox, and as having 'very good' interior upholstery. With very few of these limited edition 100 Centenary Roadsters produced, they are likely to be very collectable in the future and this one-owner example is not to be missed!
