First registered on 7th April 1933 in Buckinghamshire, this Morgan three-wheeler is believed to have started life as a Super Sports before being re-bodied as a Sports in the late 1950s. There is no firm history, but the car appears to have spent some time in Huntingdonshire before being acquired by Howard Alan des Forges of Bromley, Kent in 1997, passing to our vendor in 2001 having been restored in 2000. Recent work carried out includes a full engine and gearbox rebuild three years ago. Major new items fitted include the following:
Barrels and pistons (standard size)
Pressed-up crankshaft and con-rods (Merlin Engineering)
Valves guides and springs
Rocker arms
Bearings
Set of gears and gearbox bearings
Other notable features include a radiator rebuilt with a new correct-for-year honeycomb core (Bob Angel); an owner-fitted valve guide oiling system; flashing indicators; and a Clarrie Coombes front wheel brake conversion. The body is new, as are the seats and trim, while the chassis has been refurbished. Many events have been completed at home and abroad with no issues, and the Morgan is described by the vendor as 'A1' throughout and ready to go. It should be noted that very few miles have been covered since the engine rebuild and that running-in needs to be completed. Keys present.
