Morgan 1600 Competition go clean & Green RHD For Sale (1972) | | 1972 Morgan 1600 Competition
- A RHD car
A alloy body, 72 spoke wire wheels, beautiful green body with black fenders, dark green leather seats, refinished wood dash with toggle switches, rebuilt Ford 1600cc GT crossflow engine...
-- Weber carb, powder coated tubular headers, all synchro trans, rebuilt disc brakes, full weather equipment, luggage rack, tonneau cover, rebuilt original heater, stereo/CD with iPod input, new halogen headlights, excellent chrome and trim, gorgeous car.
VERY light with the alloy body (factory listed weight is 1456 pound curb weight with a STEEL body).....the Ford engine is rated at 100hp giving this Morgan wonderful performance.
- And with lighter weight comes softer springs...FAR superior ride to any other Morgan. And much better handling.
If you think 'Morgan' means a hard riding, cranky steering, difficult to shift ancient sports car.....this car is a dream to drive. The quick shifting Ford trans (which we can replace with a modern Ford 5 speed trans), the smooth powerful short stroke Ford engine (same as used in modern Formula Ford race cars, and capable of FAR more power), Weber carb....the result is a sensational classic sports car. With the added benefit of having a lightweight, 'will never rust,' aluminum body.
Even for long time Morgan owners, a later model 4/4 such as this 1600 is an eye opening experience. Gone is the ol' Moss crashbox.
- Gone is the ancient TR engine... No SU carbs... All replaced with a short stroke, five man bearing engine, two barrel Weber carb, and as slick a 4 speed trans as exists. Add softer springs and lighter steering in a car of similar weight as a Lotus Elan. But still with the wonderful Morgan esthetics and 'feel.'
For the price of a good quality MG TF, this Morgan will run away and hide...MUCH lighter, MUCH more powerful, MUCH stronger, MUCH more reliable, and MUCH better driving. (actually I happen to love MGs but have four Moggies in my barn...so, sure, a Morgan enthusiast and owner for over 35 years).
Very rare in the US and one of the best all 'round Morgan models built during their 100 year history.
AND....... -- We have everything in stock to convert this car to a 5 speed transmission and additional power is readily available... 120hp? 130hp? 140hp? More? All available.
- We can even fit an in-stock Lotus twin cam engine.
$36,995- USD or dollars.
More pics coming soon and on request...Serious Morgan collectors please...
This car can be exported from the local New Jersey USA shipping port...at your cost...
Price (GBP) £24346. in the UK pounds...
