Description:

Offered here is a very well known West Coast campaigned Morgan Plus Four Flatrad now fitted for street or track use. It was owned for some 40 years by Jim Belardi and known as Butterscotch. It is an extremely fast Plus Four with only 3 races on a rebuilt engine. The wings were recently painted in Irish Green. The interior leather was replaced with new matching Butterscotch leather, piped in dark mocha. The roll bar was removed and the stock front bumper, street windscreen were refitted. It comes complete with tonneau, side curtains and top, all in excellent condition. It is Left Hand Drive and a joy to drive. Flatrads retain the prewar look and tend to run much cooler than the later curved cowl Plus 4's. They can attain speeds of 115 MPH and cruise at almost any speed approaching that.
