Morgan began making the Plus 4 back in 1950, so this year marks the 70th anniversary of the classic roadster. Production of the company’s steel chassis, which has underpinned the model since birth, is about to end, so they are now celebrating the two with the Morgan Plus 4 70th Anniversary Edition.

Limited to 20 units, each one features gold painted chassis, a first for the company, together with an individually numbered plaque. The special edition model sports a Platinum Metallic paint, satin grey wire wheels and exterior black pack.

Enhancing the interior is the Ravenwood veneer dashboard, which contributes to the special look alongside the dark grey box weave carpets, satin black Mota-Lita steering wheel and leather-trimmed steering cowl and door handles. The Plus 4 70th Anniversary is also equipped with heated sports seats, footwell lighting, sidescreen storage backs and mohair hood cover. An exclusive Photographic Build Record is included too.

All 70th Ann. cars are equipped with a sports exhaust system from Aero Racing, with ceramic-black tailpipe. The engine is more powerful compared to the regular Plus 4s, as the software tune by Aero Racing, allows it to produce 183 PS (180 hp / 134 kW), up from 156 PS (154 hp / 115 kW), which translates to a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration in under 7 seconds.

Each of the 20 examples destined for production has already been reserved and will see customers paying at least £60,995 ($79,281/€71,225) in Britain, including tax.
