The Morgan Plus 4 remains one of the most enduring symbols of British motoring, representing a philosophy of "evolution over revolution" that has spanned seven decades. First introduced in 1950 at the Earls Court Motor Show, it was designed as a more powerful successor to the 4/4, initially utilizing a 2,088cc Standard Vanguard engine. Its significance lies in its unique construction—famously featuring an ash wood frame paired with a steel or aluminum chassis—and its remarkable competition pedigree, most notably winning the 2.0-liter class at the 1962 24 Hours of Le Mans.
While exact production figures for hand-built vehicles can vary by source, historical records for the original production run (1950–1969) indicate that approximately 4,584 units were manufactured. Following its hiatus, the model was revived in 1985 and has seen several iterations since, including the modern bonded-aluminum "Plus Four" introduced in 2020. Across all generations, it is estimated that fewer than 10,000 units have been produced in total, cementing its status as a rare and quintessentially analog driving machine.
Never settle for wire wheels offered by other brands. The design and look of these wheels are directly from the molds and designs of the original Dunlop wire wheels. Never settle for "close enough". British cars deserve British Wire Wheels.
