Classifieds & Regalia

Reluctantly, after 39 years it is time to part with my beloved Morgan due to my advancing age and a recent health scare.

On full Queensland registration and garaged in Maleny QLD.

Purchased by me in the UK in 1981. Imported to Australia in 1983 and first registered in NSW with its original number (PLV 950) that it left the factory with. It now has QLD registration with the same number.

• Complete rebuild finished in 1980 by a civil engineer. I have all the documents and photographic log of the rebuild.
• Complete engine rebuild by Cox and Buckle, Richmond West London in 1983. Now about 6,000 miles on this engine.
• Stage 1 competition head, mild cam, twin Webbers.
• Telescopic rear damper kit fitted by Ken Ward.
• Front suspension overhaul in April 2019 by a Brisbane steering specialist including new kingpins, bushes and springs as required.
• The generator has been replaced with an alternator.
• New upholstery.
• Some spares available. Like manifold with original SU’s and 4 x 15” wheels.
• All wet weather gear even though I have only used it a couple of times, even in the UK. I don’t drive it in the rain.
• Always garaged.

Excellent value at $48,000.
