The Morgan Motor Company is among the oldest independent automobile companies in existence with their turn of the century factory in Malvern Link, Worcestershire, England, producing classic sports cars today just as it has for nearly 100 years.

The Morgan Plus 4 Roadster came with an inline four-cylinder engine rated at 57 horsepower, twin SU carburetors, four-speed manual gearbox, independent front suspension, solid rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs and four-wheel Lockheed hydraulic drum brakes; It is a traditionally constructed and engineered sports car that pays the purchaser back in spades in terms of performance, enjoyment and ease of maintenance. The Morgan is carefully designed, built, and tested so as to provide a sports roadster that has good performance, is comfortable, easy to handle, simple to maintain, economical to operate, and sporty in appearance.
