Morgan made its name with its fearsome brand of three-wheelers and the 4-4 (later 4/4) was its first four-wheeled creation (4-4 signifying four wheels and four cylinders). Launched in 1936, it was initially powered by an 1122cc OISE four-cylinder Coventry Climax engine, but this was superseded in 1939 by a 1267cc Triumph unit driving through a Moss gearbox. It proved deservedly popular and, by 1939, 663 Two-Seater examples had been produced. Like its earlier brethren, the 4-4 was quick to prove its worth in competition contesting such blue riband events as the Tourist Trophy (1937) and Le Mans 24 hours (1938, 1939). Indeed, Prudence Fawcett and her co-driver Geoffrey White won their class and finished 13th overall during the 1938 running of the latter event.

Finished attractively with Red coachwork and Black wings ‘OAA881’ has been in current ownership since 1966 and displays 53,368 miles. Registered new in France the Morgan was repatriated in the 1950's. Subject to an extensive restoration in 1998 by Four Elms Morgan which included a new chassis, Ash frame and new wiring loom ‘OAA881’ has also benefited from a previous engine overhaul with the dashboard French polished by sculpture Rowland Emett. Offered with Brown logbook, collection of invoices, old MOT's and workshop manual the vendor currently grades the engine, transmission, interior, electrical equipment, bodywork and paintwork all as ‘Very Good’.
