Registration: UK Registered
Chassis Number: 054
Engine Number: M45
Engine: 1,122 cc, 4-cylinder
Transmission: 4-speed manual

In response to changing fiscal laws in 1935, which led to increased demand for more conventional vehicles in the broader market, Morgan introduced the 4/4 (also known as the "Four-Four" due to its four wheels and four cylinders). This specific Morgan 4/4, with chassis number 054, is one of the few early survivors from the first series of production, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.

Thanks to meticulous maintenance throughout its history, this exceptionally rare vehicle has maintained its pristine condition, as evidenced by numerous high-value invoices. The Royal Ivory color scheme still shines beautifully, a testament to the car's outstanding restoration and overall condition. The vehicle's restoration, completed in the early 1970s, has gracefully aged and continues to impress today.

The tonneau cover fits perfectly, and a completely new hood was crafted in 2019.

Inside, the coffee brown leather interior is in excellent condition, complementing the exterior to create an elegant and harmonious appearance. The wooden dashboard, adorned with classic Smith gauges, adds to the car's timeless charm and enhances its overall aesthetic appeal.

Powering the car is its original 1,122cc, 4-cylinder Coventry Climax-designed engine, which starts effortlessly at the push of a button. Between 2009 and 2012, the engine, gearbox, and rear axle underwent extensive rebuilding to ensure optimal performance. In 2019, the top end of the engine received attention from HCS to fine-tune it to perfection, providing added power and impressive torque, coupled with exceptional road handling. The pristine engine bay, complete with renewed wiring, reflects the meticulous care and attention it has received.

Very few of these nearly 90-year-old Morgans are known to have survived. This presents a unique opportunity to acquire the car with chassis number 054.
