1989 Morgan 4/4 1600
Only 5,000 miles from
new; has spent virtually all its life on the Isle of Man; lovely order
throughout
First registered in September 1989, this lovely Morgan 4/4
two-seater was exported to the Isle of Man when it was less than a year old and
was to remain there for the next 31 years, returning to mainland UK in May this
year. It is showing only 5,170 miles on the clock which is said to be correct
and is backed up by an email from the previous owner and also by the general
condition of the car.
The original handbook is present with just one stamp in
the service section by Kay Motors of Ramsey at 1,007 miles in June 1990. There
are also copies of two Isle of Man registration documents which imply that it
had just two owners on the island, the first from 1990 – 2020.
As you can see in the photos, it is in excellent condition
throughout, the only real defects we noted being some slight blistering of the
paint around the Morgan badge at the front and some deterioration of the chrome
on the bonnet release knobs. Not bad for a 32-year-old sportscar!
Starting promptly and running sweetly as we have moved it
around on site, with excellent oil pressure as one would expect, it has an MOT
until May 2022 with no advisories recorded.
