Re: 1961 Supersports for sale
Hello Kevin,
I note your post about the 1961 +4 SS, although the advert title did not refer to it as such. I have followed the +4 model over the years and have a dedicated file for SS’s comprising those which I have either actually seen or those advertised online.
I last saw this particular car advertised on Car and Classic on 18th April 2021 as “1962 Morgan Supersports RHD #6/100 For Sale”. From the photos at the time the car was exactly as it is now displayed. The then description was quite similar to that given now with the car’s location the same as well as the status of the seller.
A few observations :-
- identified as SS number 6, Ken Hill’s book as SS 9.
- clearly a RHD and not as advertised LHD.
- back in 2021, engine stated as “the original block”.
- wonder if there is a history file ?
- advertised for £96,000 (pounds) in 2021, now for €75,000 (euros)……interesting !!
I take it you are still looking ?

Re: 1961 Supersports for sale
Hi Kevin and Eddie,
Well spotted!
I remember this car being advertised back in 2021 too. Although there weren't so many photos of it then.
As you say Eddie the price reduction is 'interesting...' but I think reflects the current downturn in prices for fifties and sixties sports cars.
I don't think the colour scheme will help sell it in this country irrespective of price...!
Seasons greetings to all.
Cheers,
Mark

Re: 1961 Supersports for sale
Morning Kevin,
I thought you had found a Plus 4 last year...?!
What are you looking for - other than a Super Sports?!
I am going to sell my ex: John Looker 1955 Plus 4 as I have bought something else!
Machiel Kalf included a write up about it in an Historic Register article in Miscellany last year but if interested I'm happy to give you chapter and verse!
Cheers,
Mark
