2001 Morgan 4/4 1.8 Ford Zetec – Exceptionally Specified, Beautifully Presented
 

This bright and charming Morgan 4/4 is a wonderfully traditional example that stands out thanks to a superb specification and a collection of high-quality upgrades, making it one of the best-equipped Zetec models we’ve handled in some time. Two particularly valuable enhancements transform day-to-day usability: the Classic Driving Developments hydraulic power steering conversion, and the beautifully made Simmonds mohair roof—both expensive additions that elevate the car well beyond standard.

Power comes from the original 1.8-litre Ford Zetec engine, producing 111 bhp and 150 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth five-speed gearbox. It’s a sprightly, reliable and thoroughly enjoyable combination that suits the lightweight Morgan chassis perfectly.

Finished in solid Cream with a Biscuit leather interior, the car has a lovely traditional look. The Simmonds mohair roof and matching hood envelope add both style and practicality, while the walnut dashboard, leather-spoked steering wheel and modern radio with USB and iPod connectivity bring a touch of comfort and convenience.

Externally, the car benefits from numerous stainless enhancements, including a mesh grille, full-width bumpers, round door mirrors, badge bar with badges, luggage rack and front spot lamps, giving it a well-detailed and purposeful appearance.

With just under 20,000 miles from new and only three keepers, the car comes with extensive service history and a substantial file of supporting documents. There are a few small areas of age-related corrosion, entirely commensurate with a Morgan of this era, but nothing that detracts from its overall appeal or condition.

After a brief period off the road, we have undertaken a comprehensive recommissioning. It will be supplied with a fresh service, 12 months MOT, a new cambelt, five new tyres and a new radiator, offering excellent peace of mind for the next owner.

At £22,995, this is exceptional value for a well-specified Morgan with such desirable and costly extras.
