Morgan is nothing if not a creature of habit. Many of their vintage sports car creations from the 1950s and 1960s are still in the public consciousness today as they've existed with subtle changes and retro re-releases throughout the years. This 1956 Plus 4 Roadster is finished in a fresh, bold red color over a black and red interior. What makes this car truly special is the addition of a Judson supercharger with Marvel Mystery oiler to the TR3-powered Roadster's 1991 cc inline-four. This saw power increase from 96 hp to over 140, creating a very sporting machine. The interior features red and black leather upholstery and a four-spoke Brooklands steering wheel framing a refinished walnut dashboard housing refurbished Smiths instruments. Formerly of the Gene Ponder collection this Morgan Plus 4 is keen to join its new owner after a cosmetic restoration and a mechanical refresh.
