Rare 1976 Morgan 4/4: Incredible History & California Museum Story!
This exceptional 1976 Morgan 4/4 boasts a unique history, including time spent in a California museum and ownership by a WWII veteran millionaire. Built for an American client, shipped to the US, later returned to the UK, and meticulously renovated, this car offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive heritage with remarkable preservation.
The Unique History of This 1976 Morgan 4/4
This stunning 1976 Morgan 4/4 was originally ordered by Mr. Phil Reed from California and built to his specifications. He was one of thirteen children, a self-made millionaire, and a WWII veteran. The car resided in his private museum alongside other classic British and American sports cars.
Following Mr. Reed's passing in 2018 at the age of ninety eight, the Morgan was inherited by his niece and shipped back to the UK. Its journey represents a fascinating connection between American automotive passion and British craftsmanship.
Renovation & Preservation: Maintaining Authenticity
After decades in climate-controlled museum conditions, the Morgan required some refurbishment upon its return to the UK. The Morgan Factory carried out this work with a focus on preserving the car’s original integrity. Replacement parts were used sympathetically.
- The original Green Leather upholstery was retained, showcasing signs of authentic aging.
- Morgan technicians praised the remarkable preservation of the underside and Ash frame.
- Replacement work totaled £6281.88, ensuring mechanical reliability while respecting historical accuracy.
Key Features & Opportunity
This Morgan 4/4 stands out due to its incredibly low mileage and the unique provenance linked to Mr. Reed's collection. The vehicle’s exceptional condition, combined with its documented history, creates a compelling investment opportunity for classic car enthusiasts.
The yellow paintwork contrasts beautifully with the green leather interior and brown bonnet stripe, adding to its visual appeal. This is more than just a car; it's a piece of automotive storytelling.
