Race Retro Competition Car Sale 2024 Cars 118 Registration: XSV 379 Chassis No.: B818 Estimate: £38,000 - £46,000 Specialist: Harry Whale Telephone No: 07919 887374 Lot 941 1963 Morgan 4/4 1500 Series V Pre-Crossflow Offered here is a rather special Morgan that has led an eventful life and is well known in Morgan circles. Privately owned since 2008, XVS 379 is a 4/4 two-seat Series V with a tuned 1,500cc pre-crossflow Ford unit that was rebuilt in the late 1990s for classic rallying using virtually 100% new parts. After this, the Morgan was subsequently prepared for circuit racing with a powerful Zetec engine fitted in 2000. Results were impressive, with XVS winning the 2000 Morgan Race Series at Silverstone in the seventh and final leg, having achieved fastest laps in class in every round. The car was then sold and used as road car from 2002 but the call of competition echoed once again and, in 2006, it was converted back to 1,500cc pre-crossflow for classic rallying. At the end of 2006/early 2007 it was professionally prepared by Brands Hatch Morgan for the Classic Marathon in Norway in 2007, netting a remarkable seventh place in a particularly gruelling rally. Life continued at a fast pace for XSV, becoming ‘Miss November’ in the Morgan Calendar of 2008, competing in some club events, entered at Gaydon in August 2010 and, on 18th April 2011 was one of only seven cars given the privilege to test the new Donington Circuit and completed some 28 laps. The specification as it sits today is impressive and can be viewed on our website. With its fascinating provenance and offering access to an array of events, tours and general fast road use, this very cool Morgan is ready for its next lucky owner. This superbly presented Series V Ford 1,498cc Pre-Crossflow, offered fresh to market from 17 years of private ownership, has led a fascinating life. More Details Lot 941 Bid On Lot 941
