PLEASE NOTE: This lot has a fresh MOT certificate Introduced in March 1968, the '1600' was the first 4/4 to offer 100mph plus performance.
Based around a box-section chassis with independent 'sliding pillar' front suspension, leaf-sprung 'live' rear axle and disc/drum brakes, its thin-gauge metal over ash bodywork contributed towards a commendably low kerb weight (circa 700kg).
The newcomer was powered by a Ford-sourced 1599cc four-cylinder crossflow engine allied to four-speed all-synchromesh manual transmission.
Initially available in basic or 'Competition Model' guises, the latter's Ford 1600GT (86bhp) unit was standardised during 1971.
With evocative styling, character and involving driving experience, the 4/4 1600 proved a beguiling proposition.
With only 7,172 miles on the clock, and 3 careful owners, the last since 1992, this must surely be one of the lowest mileage 1970s Morgan's on the market.
Understood to have been ordered new in April 1978 by a gentlemen for his wife ...
