If you are looking for a tight and fun performance four seater, this is a wonderful car!!! Put your big dog in the back, or head for dinner with another couple… this car affords all kinds of new opportunities not available in most British roadsters because it has a functional back seat.

I’m selling this striking Morgan for a passionate collector in Maine. The car is extremely well sorted and very solid underneath. This was a long time California car. Indicated mileage is 65,440.

The car is available for $34,995

This 1965 Plus four has its original 2138 CC TR4 engine that came standard with this model. It is fit with the correct twin SU carbs. And she’s quick! Spin on oil filter has been added, as has an electric cooling fan, wind wings and a third brake light for improved visibility.

The four-seat configuration allows style and grace for four adults, which is not a small feat in a classic British roadster.

The black wire wheels are striking, and look fantastic with BRG.

The top is all the more special with a red accent as shown below. Interior is quite nice and everything works.

If you are looking for a lot of classic car at a very reasonable price, don’t pass this one up! It’s stunning and includes a great top, windows and tonneau. Call for more information!

Many British car owners confess they also love air-cooled 911s. I was lucky to have a dad who loved these cars, so I love them too. I’m always on the lookout for good ones and I was excited to find this nice low mileage example in a unique original color. I bought this car as part of a larger collection, and I have been holding this 1978 911SC for about four years. But I am just not using it so it’s time to send it to a new home.

This is a great car. 911s have been climbing in value and these 3 liter SCs have been appreciating nicely! This one is stunning, especially if you like a 911 in something other than red, white, black or silver.

The body is great. There are zero dings on the sides of the car. It’s very clean, as you would expect with a low mileage vehicle. The engine is strong. Leak down and compression numbers are all excellent. We recently put in a pop off valve and replaced the hydraulic engine lid damper and replaced the oil S hose. The car is ready to go!

This car is unspoiled and feels like a time capsule. Everything is as it was when it left the factory, except the steering wheel, which is a very nice and high-quality “Dino” brand replacement. Coco mats help evoke the spirit of the era, as does the distinctive and simple mechanical targa top. By the way, have you seen the current 911 targa tops in operation? The entire rear window lifts up automatically and a motorized assemblage of levers and arms moves the top into the back of the car. It’s an engineering marvel, and I shudder to think of the repair costs down the road.

This is not that.

This is a top removed by flipping two levers. The top assembly easily collapses to fit in the trunk. Simple. From another era. And it was all professionally rebuilt just last year by a 911 specialist.

In fact, the window mechanism is also simple, this is a wind-up window car without A/C. It also has a mechanical radio antennae (listed on COA). In the engine bay you can see the air pump has been removed because it was in the way and no longer connected anyway. I have saved all the pieces in a box to travel with the car.

Included are the two factory sales brochures from 1978, which verify the accuracy of this example (see photo album below). When you get into this car, the factory shag carpet and colors stand out because this seems nothing like modern automotive color palettes. When did you last see a dark brown car? For me, that’s what makes this car particularly special.

Turn the key and iconic round warning lights come to life. (These are the same lights I would see in the ’69 911S my dad once owned- this car gets you that look and feel without breaking the bank). I have a 1997 993 as well, and that car’s square warning lights (and there are a lot of them) just don’t as beautifully convey the soul of a 911. This dashboard is much more reminiscent of the older cars, which is one reason I love this vintage so much–more affordable, but still with the heritage and feel of the early 911s.

This car certainly seems to have spent much of it’s life garaged, the dashboard and gauges are great, they are not sun-faded or worn and there are no cracks in the dashboard. Thus the car looks much it would have in 1978. The interior is excellent.

The car comes with a notebook full of receipts and information from the prior owner, including the Porsche COA as shown. It was repainted once and shines beautifully. Everything works (except the horn) and it’s a blast to drive. The transmission is excellent, with no complaints from the synchros and the gearbox is a joy, with easy downshifting.

We have done a bit of maintenance on this car during my four years of ownership. We added a new premium Deka battery two years ago. We changed one rear wheel bearing and rebuilt both front calipers. We adjusted the valves, put in new gaskets, changed the injectors, air filter, plugs, wires, cap and rotor, as well as the oil, which has few miles on it since. New tires were just installed and the Targa top was also completely restored by a Targa specialist. Headliner, vinyl and all rubber are now new (not pictured).

This car has the original engine, as verified by the pictured Porsche COA (see photos below). The timing chain tensioners were upgraded by the former owner about ten years ago. Receipts are included. VIN number is included in photo album. Build date was 12/77.

The car is a blast to drive. Call if you are interested!
