The history of Morgan's 4/4 model can be traced right back to the company's departure from its traditional 3-wheeler output in 1936. The 4-4 (and post WW2 4/4) designation simply meant four-wheel four-cylinder. With a separate chassis construction, Morgan's famous sliding pillar independent front suspension (get the grease gun out!) and ash-frame clad with conventional panel pinned bodywork and cutaway doors, all provided an outlet for the buyer who did not trust new-fangled steel coachwork and monocoque 'shells. After five separate series of cars, the 4/4 was re-named the 4/4 1600 in 1968.
With just 2 former keepers and 87,300 miles from new, this pretty 1969 example has been the subject of an extensive restoration in 1988, which included a new chassis. Additionally, 'RSC 578H' has received new woodwork, new wings and a repaint. Power is delivered from a 1600cc Kent engine, mated to a 4-speed transmission. The engine casing is believed to be of the desirable 711M type, which came with much stronger square main bearing caps. The engine was overhauled in 1999, some 1,350 miles ago and the specification includes the weather gear, consisting of side screens, soft-top and tonneau cover. Offered with a collection of invoices and old MOT certificates ‘RSC 578H’ is offered with a current MOT certificate into October 2023.
