1982 Morgan 4/4 Roadster – $59,000

Leave a reply

Here’s a Morgan with a wonderful story. When the owner was a boy his interest in Morgans became a passion and when he got his first job at age 18, he put a deposit down to get his name on the waiting list for a new Morgan. At that time, the Morgan factory quoted a ten year waiting list for delivery of a new car. The 4/4 was the purest of Morgan designs, it had a modern Ford 1600cc engine and 5-speed gearbox, but retained the classic design.

Delivered in a striking shade of blue with alloy wheels it most certainly would have been a car to be extremely proud of. The car has several factory options.

The owner emigrated to Western Australia and imported the car 37 years ago.

Back in 2018 the engine was running rough, so a Morgan specialist undertook doing a few recommended upgrades (easier steering and bigger brakes) while at it. The owner then decided to give his beloved Morgan a major overhaul – what started with an engine rebuild ended up being an extensive series of upgrades and restoration, including new leather interior and seats and a bare-metal respray in the original colour. New wiring, EFI, lighting and many other minor items renewed in this lengthy process. The last item has been new tyres, fitted this year. The result is s spectacularly good Morgan.

However, for all this care and attention lavished on his car, the owner has some health issues which are now making it difficult to drive the car he first put a deposit on over 50 years ago…

So the car is to be sold and even though there’s been a tremendous amount of attention lavished on the care, the owner is realistic about the car and it is priced accordingly.

If sold to a Western Australian buyer the numberplates MOG 004 can go with the car.

Chances of finding a car with better history and in better condition would be most unlikely.

2010 Morgan Aero SuperSports – REDUCED: $287,000

  • One of two in Australia
  • Australian compliance
  • One owner from new
  • Special order from Morgan
  • Supercar performance
  • Luxurious cockpit

This is a very special car, for the individualist. It features the modernized construction and styling of the Aero with unique targa roof construction, ‘boat-tail’ rear styling and a higher than previous level of cabin luxury. Here was a weather-proof, lockable Morgan, with a boot, and all the accoutrements of luxuriousness – combined with impressive supercar performance.

The modified 270kW 4.8-litre BMW V8 engine gives the SuperSports exhilarating performance. 0-100km/h is achieved in just 4.2 seconds – along with an awesome soundtrack. The car is fitted with a 6-speed manual gearbox, also BMW sourced.

Tremendous handling is a highlight of this Morgan, with its bonded aluminium structure and Superformed aluminium panels keeping it light weight yet strong.

The interior features hand-finished polished woodwork surrounding the dashtop, door panels and rear area, with beautiful handcrafted leather elsewhere making the cockpit a very cossetting environment.

In this car’s history file are letters from the Australian importer and Morgan in the UK, with details of the options and order specifications. Morgan provided a beautiful boxed, leatherbound album showing the build of the car through many stages to completion.

With options, the car cost the buyer considerably in excess of $400,000 and the importer covered $13,426 of options over and above this amount. While he’d ordered the car from Perth, he had the car delivered to Tasmania where it was used for a period before shipping to Perth, where it’s been ever since.

Ultimately Morgan built 132 examples of the Aero SuperSports, and just two came to Australia. Today, the car has covered just over 15,000km.

If sold to a Western Australian buyer, the number plates MOG AERO go with it.

The condition of the car can fairly be described as pristine throughout. It is a blast to drive when demanded with huge performance, yet easy to cruise around in.

This is a very rare opportunity to buy an incredibly rare model from one of the greatest sports car makers of all time.
