Fiberglass body and Left Hand Drive. Most were right handed. Extremely rare.

Really a cool car Mike. NOT at all a fan of that bubble fish bowl roof line though. Clunked up what could have been a sleek looking car. Of course, JMO. Love the exterior trunk lid hinges, long front nose and the interior. 👍 TY for showing.

Slowing sales of the traditional Morgan roadsters in the early 1960s prompted Peter Morgan to think about adding an additional model to the lineup. Bodies were made of thick glassfibre by EB Plastics. The body was then attached to a standard "Z" section ladder chassis manufactured by industry giant Rubery Owen. The Plus 4 Plus was much more expensive than the Plus 4, which didn't help sales. A fire at EB Plastics ended production after 26 cars were made and two spare body shells. One shell was later used to repair an accident damaged US car and the last remaining body was built up by an European Morgan enthusiast. Traditional Morgan 4/4s and Plus 4s have body frames made of English or Belgian ash. No Morgan ever had a chassis made of wood.

Guess what. The frame is made of wood.

And wrapped in metal for strength if so. Thanks for watching.
