"A nice, honest, and well-kept Morgan with all the charm, character, and unmistakable driving feel these cars are known for."

Description

This car is being sold on behalf of the owner’s estate. He purchased it in 2001. The first owner kept it for nearly 29 years, while the second owned it for only three days — meaning the car has effectively had just two long-term owners. Sold new in Sweden and, like most Morgans, used mainly during the summer months and cared for by enthusiasts. The odometer shows 28,205 km, though the true mileage is estimated to be around 128,205 km.

Powered by the famously bulletproof Ford Kent 1600 with around 95 hp, and weighing just 900 kg, this Morgan delivers the perfect mix of lightness, balance, and proper old-school driving feel. Inspection records from 2011 show 25,690 km, and today it reads 28,205 km — only 2,515 km covered in the last 14 years.

It runs and drives well with no leaks. As it hasn’t seen much use recently, a routine service and check-over are recommended. Overall condition is impressively good; it was likely repainted many years ago, probably by the first owner, and you’ll struggle to find even a stone chip. No rust, no damage. The owner’s wife recalls that her husband refurbished the dashboard panel, and otherwise the car was simply enjoyed as a gently used summer classic.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine fires up easily with a bit of choke and settles into a smooth idle after a short warm-up. Out on the road it feels tight and stable — exactly how a Morgan should. Brakes are strong, gears shift cleanly, and the only note is the clutch sitting a little low, likely just needing a quick adjustment after sitting. A good run and a routine service will have it spot-on. It comes with a full set of five smart wire wheels and good tyres. Inspection-exempt and ready for the next owner to enjoy.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is complete, clean and tidy. The leather seats are in good condition with only a few small cracks and would benefit from a leather treatment. The door cards and panels are in good shape, and the carpets are nice as well. The wooden dashboard panels are in excellent condition and fitted with the original gauges — all of which work. It’s topped off with a lovely Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel. Also included is a well-kept soft top with its frame, plus a clip-on tonneau cover.

  • Exterior condition:

    This is a genuinely super-nice car with no bodywork dents, damage or rust. The underbody is exceptionally clean and rust-free — a clear sign of a well-kept Morgan that has never seen winter use. The paintwork is in great condition: bright, clean, and you really have to search to find even one or two stone chips. The chrome work all around is shiny and in excellent shape, and it also comes with a chrome luggage rack.

  • General condition:

    An ideal car for a Morgan enthusiast or anyone looking for a cool summer classic. It only needs a general service, and you’ll have a super nice car ready to enjoy next season.

Auction information

  • 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.

  • 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.
