1950 MORGAN PLUS FOUR
The new Morgan Plus Four, latest of a long line of highly successful sports cars, is fitted with the famous Standard Vanguard engine. Outwardly the three versions of this model — Drophead Coupe, Open Two-Seater and Four-Seater — remain almost identical with those of the 4/4 model, but the body width has been increased slightly, while the radiator is shorter and the bonnet lengthened a little.
Apart from its high maximum speed the all-round performance of the Plus Four is excellent and as a long-distance touring car it offers economical and trouble-free motoring.
The standard colour finishes are most attractive and include black, British racing green, Nile blue or carnation red. Black leather upholstery is specified with each of these colours.
