The Morgan Motor Company was founded in 1910 during the early days of motoring. In these infantile years, inventors and manufacturers alike were still battling to find the golden standard of what the car should be. Henry Fredrick Stanley Morgan, the company's founder, took some very different approaches to automobile construction that still live on to this day. For the first 26 years of the company's existence, all of its offerings consisted of only 3 wheels. They also used wood heavily in the structural makeup of their cars, a process that was carried all the way through to today, where they still use wood for framing the body shell.

The Plus Four was conceived in 1950, and production ran until 1969. The Plus Four was uniquely Morgan's only second attempt at a car that wasn’t a three-wheeler. At its introduction, the Plus 4 was fitted with a 2088 cc Standard Vanguard engine on a widened and beefed-up 4/4 chassis with a stretched wheelbase. Hydraulic brakes were also fitted for the first time on a Morgan. The Plus Four sold well for the small company, but at the end of production, only around 4,584 examples had rolled off the production line. The Plus Four was replaced by the more powerful Plus 8 in 1969.

The Morgan Plus Four offered here, chassis #TS8593ME, is in good condition benefitting from a fairly recent refurbishment. In 2013, the entire exterior was repainted in red, as well as a light interior refreshment and additional engine and suspension upgrades. On the mechanical side, a Judson supercharger was added to give the car a bit more power, along with a Marvel Mystery oiler, and upgraded Koni shocks. Cosmetically, red and black leather upholstery was added, which unfortuantely, has not aged very well. Additionally, a Haartz convertible top and tonneau cover, a custom-made rear luggage rack, and a Bluemels Brooklands steering wheel were added, as well as the previously mentioned repaint in red. Today this Plus Four needs nothing to be thoroughly enjoyed. It is in great mechanical condition and the addition of the Judson supercharger makes this particular example unique and even more of a blast to drive.

This Plus Four is offered with manufacturer’s literature and workshop manuals, factory dual SU carburetors, and factory exhaust tips.
