This is a very nice relatively rare RHD 1951 Morgan +4 finished in Olde English White which was purchased in the early 1990’s from Allon White Sons located in Bedford England off a fresh restoration. The car was used to travel extensively through Europe while the owners were working in Brussels. The car was then imported to the United States and has been used for summer “fun transportation” on the dry weekends. To the best of my knowledge, since 1999, the top and side curtains have never been used on the car. I have put them on for some pictures only and to show their condition. The interior is black leather. The chrome is exceptional on the radiator shell, headlight buckets, and turn signals, except for the hub caps which are good. The paint has some chips and a few cracks as would be expected with a twenty plus year old car. Mechanically, the engine is a very strong Vangard Triumph four cylinder with a single downdraft Solex carburetor. The gasoline used has had the appropriate lead additive with each fill up. The oil used has been Shell Rotella T 15W40 diesel oil so that there is zinc in the oil for the camshaft tappets since all our oils in the US no longer have the zinc additive. It does not burn oil.
