2001 MORGAN 4/4

The Morgan 4/4 2-seater is the classic open sports car configuration. Traditional ash-framed body over steel chassis. The pure Morgan experience.

4/4: Chassis - Z-section steel ladder frame, rust is critical concern. Check outriggers, crossmembers, around suspension mounts. Can be repaired but expensive. Engine - various Ford units, all well-understood with good parts availability. Gearbox - Ford or Mazda, reliable. Body - ash frame with steel or aluminium panels. Check ash for rot especially around door frames, scuttle, and rear. Sliding pillar suspension - Morgan trademark, needs regular greasing, check for wear. Brakes - drums (early) or discs, adequate. Weather equipment basic - hoods leak, sidescreens rattle. Budget £2-4k annually.
