The Morgan Motor Company was a famously family-owned company
(until last year) founded in 1910 by Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan
in Malvern. Worcestershire. The early cars were two-seat or
four-seat three-wheelers with four-wheelers coming later in 1936.
The first being the 4-4. four wheels and four cylinders. The Morgan
+4 was introduced in 1950 as a larger-engined car and used the
2088cc Standard Vanguard engine. The +4 Drophead Coupé is the
rarest of the different body styles offered by Morgan. a
three-position drophead coupé or 'sedanca coupé'.

Acquired relatively recently. this rare Plus 4 is one of the
highly collectable Rutherford cars. In 1980. it was bought into
their workshops whereupon the 'David Rutherford' experience took
place. This represented a general lightening of the car along with
one or two performance upgrades. These included the addition of
aluminium bonnet and door skins; fibreglass front wings. an oil
cooler and telescopic dampers to the rear. At the same time. the
chassis was replaced along with new bumpers. In the mid-eighties. br/>the transmission was also overhauled along with the bell housing
and clutch. More recently. the car was stripped to its constituent
parts (wings off) and re-painted to its current British Racing
Green colour. Complete with chromium side-screens. a full soft top
and. of course. the Sedanca conversion. this highly collectable
drophead Morgan requires little or no work just a warm weekend and
a spirited driver.
