1962 Morgan Plus 4 Drop Head Coupe

Description

Owning a Morgan is all about enjoying fine craftsmanship built in the traditional way. It makes for exceptional cars with discriminating rarity. So if you have a favorite road, this 1962 Morgan Plus 4 Drop Head Coupe should be the best way to celebrate it.

Morgans have a timeless sense of style. The sweeping fenders, pontoon headlights, rear-mounted spare tire, and ash wood frame – it is often hard to tell the difference between a Plus 4 roadster built today and one a half-century old. But those who know Morgans know how special this one is. See those full-sized doors that don't dip in the middle? This is a Drop Head Coupe. Not only does it get an uninterrupted piece of bright trim from the grille to the rear fender curve, but also the folding black roof has a midpoint "de ville" position for a unique and premium appearance. When it comes to rarity, this is a style that has not been offered for over 45 years. In fact, there were only 1808 Morgan Plus 4s produced for the world during the six-year run of this series. That's why these are highly cherished well beyond the bright red paint and cool wire wheel roadster appearance.

Morgans are a great lesson in purist motoring. The individual seats are looking nice after a restoration a few decades ago. The same goes for the carpets and door panels. So nothing gets in the way of enjoying the old-world driving experience. You sit behind a proper Brooklands Bluemel steering wheel and look out over a dash made or real wood. These Drop Head Coupes had more of a permanent fixture feeling in the interior, so you even get wood trim around the windshield and doors. You get a full set of Smiths gauges and the gearbox leaver is in that perfect British position that feels like it's an extension of your right hand. While this is built for open top motoring, if your day out does turn wet, you'll be happy to have the full folding roof, side curtains, and well fitting doors.

Under the hood (bonnet) is a 2.0-liter motor borrowed from the triumph TR3. This engine is known for its legendary pep, especially with the twin SU carburetors attached. Best of all, the more mass-produced motor means maintenance is easy on your rare bespoke Morgan. In fact, you can already tell from the condition of this four-cylinder that good servicing has always been a priority. The driving experience is maximized as you row through the gears of the four-speed transmission and get the most out of this four-cylinder. Your senses will go into overload as the wind whips through the interior, and you help create the wonderful soundtrack from the motor. It gives you an instant connection to this classic machine that makes Morgans one of the most enthusiast-driven brands out there. Add in front disc brakes and Michelin XZX tires, and you know this roadster is just begging for the open road. Plus, it also has an electric fan to keep everything cool in the times that city traffic is part of the path to your getaway.

Rare, beautiful, and always a class act – a Morgan provides true motoring pleasure. This rare Drop Head Coupe comes complete with its restoration receipts so you can see how much of a cut above classic it truly is. This opportunity is fleeting, so call today!
