The Morgan Plus 4 debuted in 1950, offering a larger, more powerful alternative to the 4/4. It retained Morgan's traditional ash wood frame and hand-formed body panels but used a series of larger engines, most famously the 2.1-liter inline-4 from the Triumph TR sports cars. This combination of pre-war looks and post-war performance defined the model for decades, creating a uniquely British driving experience.
Collectors are drawn to the Plus 4 for its direct, mechanical feel and timeless style. It's an elemental sports car that offers an unfiltered connection between the driver, the machine, and the road. With a production run spanning over 60 years, there's a wide variety of specifications, from early "flat-rad" cars to later, more powerful versions, ensuring a version exists for most tastes and budgets.
The market for the Plus 4 is broad, with an average sale price of around $29,000. Values are driven primarily by originality and condition, especially the state of the wooden frame. Fully restored cars and rare variants command the highest prices, while neglected project cars can be found for a fraction of the cost, reflecting the significant investment required for a proper restoration.
Buying Tips
- The ash wood frame is the most critical inspection point. Check for rot in the sills, A and B pillars, and around the wheel arches. Frame repairs are labor-intensive and expensive.
- Models equipped with Triumph TR engines are common. Check for oil leaks, overheating symptoms, and listen for timing chain noise. The Moss gearbox can feel agricultural, but it shouldn't pop out of gear.
- Inspect the steel chassis for rust, paying close attention to the outriggers and suspension mounting points. Check aluminum body panels for corrosion where they meet steel fasteners or frames.
- The front sliding pillar suspension requires regular lubrication via a one-shot oiler or grease nipples. If neglected, it becomes stiff and causes poor handling and a harsh ride.
