Started in 1910, the Morgan Motor Company of Malvern Link, Worcestershire built its first four-wheeled car in 1935.

Until that time, all Morgan’s had been three wheelers.

The new model designated 4/4, signifying four wheels and four cylinders.

The original 4/4 used a Coventry Climax engine.

When revived in 1955, the 4/4 used Ford power built in Britain.

From 1954 the Plus 4 became available, using the bulletproof Triumph TR3 engine, this quickly became the preferred model, especially in North America.

After Triumph changed to a six-cylinder engine in 1967, discontinuing the TR4 engine, Morgan responded by uprating the 4/4 with a Weber carburetted 1600cc Ford Cortina engine.

A year later Morgan introduced a new model, the Plus 8 powered by a Rover V8 unit replacing the Plus 4.

This, original, right hand drive Morgan 4/4 Series V is shown in the factory register to have been completed on the 28th November 1966 with disc brakes, heater and ‘pump up’ bucket seats.
