Morgan 4/4

The <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/44/">Morgan 4/4</a> was a series of sports cars introduced in 1936. The first generation of 4/4 is known as the Series I, and was the first time Morgan had produced a four wheel vehicle. The 4/4 was named not only for its four wheels, but the four cylinders of its engine.

Morgan offered the 4/4 in two seat roadster, four seat roadster, and rare drophead coupe body styles. A total of 1,720 examples of the Series I 4/4 were built before production ended in 1950.
