In 1995 I bought the Morgan 4/4 1965. It was thirty years old and
had 110.000
km on the speedometer. The engine, was a 1600cc Ford Kent, a very
reliable, small engine used in many kit cars and the Ford Cortina GT
Mk2.
Due to the second owner that was living near by, and the Morgan
factory, I could trace most of its history.
It was used as an every day car for the first six years and already in
1971 it was worn-down so much, due to very bad rust preserving from
the factory,
it was necessary with a frame-off restoration. At that time the
chassis
and wings were electroplated. I was the fifth owner and at that time,
24 years later, it had again become rusty at certain places.
In spite of this, I drove it for four years, on holidays, all over
Europe with
great pleasure. It was 100% reliable. |
