1939 Morgan 4/4 Competition Model

Rare competition version of Morgan’s first four wheeled model, the 4/ 4.

Recently rebuilt, the car is smartly presented in British Racing Green with grey interior and a black tonneau cover.

Being the 1, 098cc competition variant, the Morgan has been rebuilt with VSCC events in mind and comes with catch tanks and a fuel pump isolator as well as a VSCC buff form issued for a ‘standard’ car.

The car retains its original chassis, 62. 3mm bore Coventry Climax 10HP engine and gearbox. It was despatched from the Morgan factory on 21st January, 1939 according to a letter from the MSCC Historic Register.

The correct Meadows four speed reverse gate gearbox is fitted with synchromesh on 3rd and top gears.

Under the bonnet everything is neatly presented as you would expect for a car built with competition in mind. It is fitted with a Kenlowe electric fan and a Dynamotor.

The engine starts readily and on the road the little Morgan performs very well. The engine is lively while the steering and handling are excellent thanks to Morgan’s sliding pillar front suspension. The clutch, gearbox and brakes all work well.

A very comprehensive file accompanies the car with a vast quantity of receipts, Workshop Manual, original Instruction Book, extensive restorer’s notes and a computer stick containing photos of the rebuild.

The restorer’s notes are very informative and detail everything that has been done to the car. Essentially every component has been checked and overhauled or replaced where necessary.

This is a most enjoyable car and offers an affordable entry point into VSCC racing where there is another example competing in the Owner Driver Mechanic series.

We would consider taking a classic vehicle in part exchange and Nationwide delivery can be arranged.

A video of the car can be viewed on the St Andrews Autos YouTube channel.
