"The car runs and drives well, with a reliable engine, gearbox, and brakes. It was last inspected in 2019 due to the owner's illness and has only been driven in the summer since. Recently, it received an oil service, new spark plugs, and a general review. There is a small oil leak from the head gasket and a slight rattle in the exhaust, likely present for many years without causing any issues."

Description

The owner's dream car was bought in 2009 and had two previous Swedish owners since being imported from the UK and registered in Sweden in 2005. The mileage of just 54,644 miles (87,403 km) is correct and verified by an accompanying folder full of older invoices, tax discs, and records of work done in both the UK and Sweden. The owner is selling due to illness, having used the car every summer until 2020, after which it has been parked in his garage. The car will need a new inspection/MOT but is tax-free. Most owners have been members of the Morgan club in both the UK and Sweden.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    As mentioned, the car runs and drives fine, but you will notice a few drops when parked and some dampness around the front cylinder head gasket. There's no milky oil under the oil filler cap. This issue likely won't worsen with regular driving, but it will need oil top-ups now and then and is an ideal winter project to address. The exhaust occasionally rattles, probably due to a loose bracket, but it isn't blowing. The car will need a new inspection/MOT. It has newer tires from 2020, and the spoke wheels are in good condition, with some oxidation.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is original and complete but shows wear around the dashboard top, gear shifter, and middle console. The driver's seat has a hole in the bolster (see pictures). The interior can be improved with detailing, leather cleaning, and lubrication, and the seat can be easily repaired.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork is straight with no damage, and the underside has no major rust problems, just some surface rust in places (see pictures). Both lower doors have a few blisters, as do the corner edges of the running boards (see pictures). The paintwork is bright and clean, making the car presentable. Nice features include Marshall spotlights and luggage racks. The pop-on roof is missing, but the frame is in place and comes with a clip-on tonneau cover that has small rips near the zipper.

  • General condition:

    This is a really fun car to drive and always turns heads while passing by. With a new inspection, it can be enjoyed as is, but the oil leak should be fixed sooner rather than later.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
