Morgan Heritage Certificate showing all matching number car, also recorded on the Morgan Historic Register. Currently taxed and driven on the road.

Restored in 2016 when the car was owned by a Somerset gent who,restored it over a five-year period. There are only a few invoices from this time so it is hard to know exactly what was done, but it included a new chassis, a new wiring harness, a new clutch and no doubt much else besides! 
The previous keeper acquired the car in 2021 and has continued to improve it still further, with bills on file amounting to some £4,000. This includes: new alloy radiator and fuel tank; new battery; fuel pump rebuilt; gear selector mechanism rebuilt; carburettor stripped and rebuilt; new engine gaskets; new distributor cap, HT leads and spark plug caps; rear damper bushes replaced – all the work being carried out by Fostering Classics of Stratford-upon-Avon. (Bills on file). It comes with a full set of quality weather gear, hood; hood cover are brand new recently replaced, with good side-screens; tonneau cover).

It starts promptly and runs well,with good 60psi oil pressure. Overall the car is in good condition with patina reflecting little and careful use.
It also comes with a large amount of technical literature relating to the model and an Autopress workshop manual.
