OVERVIEW
Offered here is a 1964 Morgan Plus 4 Four-Seater finished in British Racing Green and accompanied by an unusually comprehensive ownership and history file accumulated during more than fourteen years of Indianapolis-area ownership. Unlike many vintage British sports cars that have changed hands numerous times with little supporting documentation, this Morgan is accompanied by registration records, ownership correspondence, transfer documentation, technical notes, club publications, service invoices, tire records, accessory inventories, and historical reference materials assembled throughout current ownership.

The documentation traces the car's acquisition from Connecticut in August 2011 and provides a clear picture of a vehicle that was used sparingly, maintained consistently, and preserved by an owner who appears to have valued documentation as much as the vehicle itself. The current odometer displays 53,891 miles. Indiana title records show 53,362 miles when the vehicle was titled in September 2011, indicating fewer than 600 documented miles accumulated over approximately fourteen years of ownership.

WHY WE LOVE IT
Morgan continued building cars largely by hand long after most manufacturers abandoned traditional construction methods. The result is a driving experience that feels mechanical, analog, and refreshingly simple.
This particular example is appealing not because of a restoration story or extensive modifications, but because of the continuity of ownership and documentation that accompanies it. The history file tells a consistent story of long-term enthusiast ownership, routine maintenance, occasional improvements, and limited use.

The accompanying records reveal a car that was cared for rather than merely stored, with regular servicing performed even during periods of minimal mileage accumulation.
