1964 Morgan 4/4 Series V

The Morgan 4/4 was the Morgan Motor Company's first four-wheeled car. It was in production from 1936 through 2019. The name 4/4 was in reference to its four wheels and four cylinders.

The 1964 model year was part of the Series V of the 4/4, which had been introduced in February of 1963 and continued until March of 1968. The base engine was a 1498cc Ford Cortina 116E engine offering 65 horsepower and backed by a Ford four-speed gearbox. The wheelbase was similar to the Series IV, with a wheelbase of 96 inches and a length of 150 inches. A total of 639 examples were built. It is believed that just two examples were given aluminum bodies in 1964. The Series V Competition models were equipped with the Ford 'Kent' Cortina GT engine with a twin choke weber carburetor, a high lift camshaft, four branch exhaust manifold, a high compression cylinder head, a rev counter and Armstrong Selectraide shock absorbers as standard equipment.
