Make history
Morgan +4 DHC, année 1961. Couleur bleu foncé avec un intérieur cuir beige et tapis bleu. Beige capot mohair. Ce rare Morgan +4 Drop Head Coupé (DHC) a importé des Etats-Unis aux Pays-Bas dans le passé. Ces dernières années, l'automobile est restauré; la voiture est en excellent état! Ce Morgan DHC conduit absolument parfait. Le moteur robuste et forte de Triumph TR 4 (2.2 Litre) donne à la voiture un caractère sportif. Le tour de taille plutôt élevée DHC donne au conducteur et au passager un sentiment de semi-fermée confortable et agréable, très différente de la très ouverte +4 'roadster'. Cette amende Morgan +4 DHC propose des roues chromées de fil, un porte-bagages chromé, chrome écrans latéraux et des freins à disque sur les roues avant. Ces modèles Morgan DHC sont rarement en vente, ceci est votre chance d'acheter un excellent spécimen !

The Morgan 4/4 was built for eighty-two years. The first model, introduced in 1936, was the 4/4 with the flat radiator, which remained in production until 1951. After a four‑year break, during which only the Morgan Plus Four was built, the Morgan 4/4 was reintroduced. The car did not change much, conservative as they are at the Morgan company, and the most noticeable alteration was the radiator shape, which changed from flat to cowled. Morgan never built their own engines. The early flat‑radiator cars were powered by Standard or Ford engines. The cowled‑radiator models were powered by Ford engines. The Ford engine used was known as the Kent engine and was also fitted in the Ford Cortina. Morgan 4/4 1600 cars were powered by the 1,599-cc Ford Kent engine, which had a standard output of 98 bhp. This gave the light car, 660 kg as a two‑seater and 785 kg as a four‑seater, very sporty performance. Drivers who wanted additional torque and power were offered the Triumph TR four‑cylinder engines, which produced 96 bhp in TR3 form or 105 bhp in TR4 form. These cars were named Plus Four. Later generations of the 4/4 were equipped with Ford CVH, Zetec, and Sigma engines, each bringing improved refinement while keeping the traditional Morgan character. The Plus Four also evolved and was eventually fitted with the 2.0‑litre Ford Duratec engine, producing 144 bhp and considerably more torque than any 4/4 variant. The four‑speed gearbox was fully synchronised. Later models used the Mazda MX‑5 five‑speed gearbox, well known for its precise and mechanical shift quality. The Morgan 4/4 is a very special car to drive because it has its own strong character. It cannot be compared with any other roadster or convertible. The 4/4 was discontinued in 2018 and the traditional steel chassis Plus 4 production ended in 2020. The Plus Four name continues in the new CX-Generation Plus four built on Morgan’s bonded aluminium platform and powered by the BMW 2.0‑litre turbocharged engine.
