This Morgan Plus 4 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1963 Morgan Plus 4 is a four-seat example that was purchased by the seller in 2010 and refurbished thereafter with a partial repaint in black and a braking system overhaul as well as replacement of the soft top, interior lining, clutch, ignition components, gaskets, and other items. Power is from a 2,138cc inline-four backed by a four-speed manual gearbox, and the car features chrome wire wheels as well as a snap-on soft top and side curtains. This Plus 4 is offered with a spare wheel, service records from 2010-present, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.

The Plus 4 featured an aluminum body fixed to a steel chassis via an ash wood framework, and this example is finished in black. The seller states that wood under the rear half of the body was replaced and the rear quarter panels were repainted during the 2010s refurbishment, which was carried out by Fabulous Restorations of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A sheepskin bonnet strap was added, and emblems from the Morgan of Florida and Morgan Owner’s Group South are affixed to a badge bar ahead of the chrome waterfall grille.

The new soft top and removable side curtains are pictured mounted and stowed. Replacement chrome knock-off wire wheels wear 165SR-15 Michelin XZX radial tires with 2010 date codes, and a spare is mounted to the rear. The braking system was overhauled with new front discs and pads, rear shoes, and hoses during the earlier work, and was converted to use a dual-circuit master cylinder with rerouted lines in 2019.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel is split around one spoke and secured with tape. Smiths instruments set into a mahogany dash include a Morgan-branded combination gauge, a tachometer, and a 200-kmh speedometer with a five-digit odometer showing 94k kilometers (~59k miles), 1,600 kilometers of which have been driven by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.

The Plus 4 was powered by a 2,138cc inline-four sourced from Triumph-Standard for 1963. Service described by the seller includes replacement of the engine mounts, ignition components, and generator mounting bracket as well as February 2019 rebuilds of the twin Stromberg carburetors, which feature open intakes. Various gaskets were also replaced during the most recent service. A Moss four-speed manual gearbox sends power to the live rear axle, and a new clutch was installed during the seller’s ownership.
