According to factory records, this Morgan Super Sports was dispatched from the factory on 3 rd February 1933 with a JAP engine and sold to the Bournemouth Motor Cycle Company.

It subsequently passed onto the previous owner, a Stephan Eggleston, who purchased the car from an owner in Bournemouth with the view to undertaking a rebuild.

It was stripped down and parts placed in tea chests.

In 1957, the 1100cc JAP V twin engine was sent to J.A.

Prestwich Industries Ltd for a complete rebuild and service.

Since that time the engine has only run for 300 miles to the present day.

Mr Eggleston’s intention was to use the Morgan on hill climbs but decided that a Dellow was far more suited and put the car, in bits, up for sale.

The current owner’s father, an engineer, wanted his son to follow in his footsteps, rather than going into medicine and gave him the Morgan 59 years ago with the view to getting it on the road and to develop a taste for engineering.

He was 14 years-old at the time.
