1952 Morgan Plus 4 'Flat Rad' - Restored with new Chassis SOLD
A true English roadster that's utterly timeless, it was still clearly a 1930s sports car but throughout the post war years it received updates and upgrades from other cars that donated their engines and gearboxes and during its life it went through two Standard Vanguard engine's, a 1798cc followed by a 2080cc before moving on to a Triumph TR2 1991cc engine in 1952 which produced 90 BHP and a top speed of 100 mph.
One of reputedly just 117 Plus 4 Flat Rad two-seaters built, this lovely 1952 'Flat Rad' Morgan Plus 4 - Chassis No: P2307 and Engine No: V230ME is fitted with the Triumph TR3 1991cc Engine and 4 speed Gearbox and was sold new by Morgan dealers Meetens Motor Mecca in New Malden, Surrey to the first owner who was Commander M. S Chambers of the Royal Navy and it was first registered in Surrey on 17th March 1952.
Between 1952 and 1957 the vehicle was returned to Morgan for routine servicing and modifications and a more extensive overhaul - all noted in the Morgan service record and at some point in the late 1950's it was sold and the car was exported to the USA. It spent some time in Savannah, Georgia, USA, but very little is known about the car during its life in the USA until it was purchased by the present English owner from Classic Motorsports in Merrimack, New Hampshire in April 2012 and imported back to the UK and re-registered here with the age related numberplate 606 YUR.
The car had been the subject of a some restoration in America before being purchased by the current owner but he ultimately decided that the vehicle required further works and restoration and a new chassis to complete the job properly. He commissioned well known Morgan specialist Tim Ayres of New Elms Classic Morgan’s to undertake the work and during the course of the chassis replacement the vehicle was also subjected to a sympathetic restoration of the remainder of the car. In total, just over £10, 000 was spent on these works.
Everything is comprehensively detailed in the history file along with a photographic record. The car also comes with a spare Triumph TR3 'high port' engine block, the original windscreen and frame + windscreen wipers and windscreen motor and its original hood frame, but it does require a new hood if required.
This is a beautiful example of the early 'Flat Rad' Morgan and it drives beautifully. It has 66, 267 miles recorded on the speedometer but we have no idea of its original mileage from new. It has covered less than 500 miles since the restoration however.
Upon sale we will give the car a new MOT and pre-sales service/ checkover and our own 6 Month Mechanical Warranty.
