75 years after launching the iconic Morgan 4/4, Morgan is celebrating the nearly ceaseless production of its first four-wheeled car with this 4/4 75th edition.

The special edition is available in three flat colors (Sport Black, Sport Red, Old English White) and features a matte black stripe with "4/4 75th" designation. It's also got painted black 15-inch wheels, black stone guard, round door mirrors and polished door handles. Interior upgrades include perforated black leather, a tawny ash polished dashboard, wood rimed Moto Lita steering wheel and black carpets.

When the 4/4 was first introduced it had a 1,122cc engine, this one has a 1,999 cc motor cranking out 145 horsepower. It propels the 4/4 to 60 in 7.2 seconds and a top speed of 118. It weighs in at 2,028 lbs.  

It will be priced from 38,750 GBP in the U.K. There will be no U.S. availability.

Two thoughts jump to mind:
1) That simple interior is stunning.
2) I would hate to be driving that car in an accident.

Those were the same 2 thoughts that crossed my mind, followed by 3) I really want a Morgan.

That is *beautiful*!!! I wish this were available state-side. Now I'm going to "waste" (chuckle) a few hours searching for a kit car that replicates this. Great pics Mike.

I was lucky enough to visit the town where these are made and took the very informal tour of
the factory. I hope they have another 75 years in production.
