There aren’t many cars around that can boost 75 years of history, and even fewer that went throughout such a long time with basically no modifications. It’s a British thing, and Morgan surely is one of the most traditionalist brands out there, that puts out unmistakable models that motorists of any age around the world can recognize at first glance. That’s what Morgan does, and these days they are about to celebrate the 75th anniversary of their 4/4 model with this special Anniversary Edition, which is definitely an eye candy for those into this kind of cars.

Produced since 1936, this famous roadster was the first 4 wheel vehicle ever produced by Morgan, that up to that point was mostly known for its so-called ‘Three Wheeler’ range. The 4/4 managed to stay in production all this time, undergoing just subtle upgrades along the way, and now the Worcestershire-based automaker pays tribute by releasing this special edition, equipped with a 2.0-litre flat-four engine of Ford’s heritage which makes it go from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7,2 seconds and reach 190 km/h (118 mph).

Weighing in at 920 kg, the Morgan 4/4 75th Anniversary Edition is as light as its standard counterpart, but can count on the more powerful engine of the Morgan Plus 4 (whose output has not been promulgated). This special series is available in three different colors: Sport Black, Sport Red and Old English White, and is easily recognizable by the longitudinal matt black stripe that crosses its body with the writings ‘4/4′ and ‘75′ on it, the round-shaped wing mirrors and its black-painted 15″ spoke wheels.
