The Bolesworth Castle September 2024 Classic, Performance & Supercar Auction
1996 Morgan 4/4
***NO RESERVE*** Much-cherished example, with a huge history file, offered with full wet-weather gear
Registration - P812 RYR
Chassis No. - SA944200004T09831
M.O.T. - February 2025
Odometer - 41,214
Beautifully specified and presented in Connaught Green, this example of Morgan’s 4/4 is offered at no reserve. Under the hand-sculpted bonnet sits a 2.0-litre four-cylinder Rover sourced engine, which drives a five-speed manual gearbox. The four-seater convertible sees the deep green paintwork complemented by wire wheels, and a green canvas roof sitting above a traditional black leather interior with walnut dash and wood-rimmed steering wheel. It is offered with full wet-weather gear – sides, doors, and windows.
Specified with clock, rubber-backed carpets, aerial and speakers, front spotlights, sports seats in the front, and pleated seats in the rear, and rear-mounted luggage carrier, ‘P812 RYR’ was well kitted-out by the original owner. The original bill of sale from 1996 is included, as is a huge A4 folder, filled with invoices and receipts of work carried out. The Morgan was a Category D insurance write-off in 2007, but has since been repaired. The indicated mileage is 41,214 miles, which is not guaranteed, but is supported by a pack of MOT certificates with the car. Described as in good condition in general, the vendor says that a respray would boost this 4/4 to the next level. However, the bodywork, paint, and interior are all considered in ‘good’ condition, while the engine, electrics, and transmission are rated ‘excellent’.
- Beautifully specified Morgan 4/4
- Classic four-seater convertible
- Offered at no reserve
Morgan proudly claims that the 4/4 was the longest-running production vehicle in the world, having been introduced in 1936, and only ceasing production in 2018. And little changed in terms of design from 1955, when the Series II was launched; styling remained largely the same from then on. Morgan used 4/4 Series monikers up to V, and then labelled its models by engine size, with a wide range of engines used over the decades, from Ford Kent units and Fiat Twin-Cam engines, to more modern Ford Zetec powerplants. The four-seater option of Morgan’s classic roadster was halted in 2018, with no successor as yet.
