A 7OTH Anniversary Edition of the Morgan Plus 4 is being released to mark its achievement as the company's most popular model.

First built in 1950, the Plus 4 has become admired by fans of Morgan worldwide.

Morgan recently announced that models built on its famous steel chassis will cease production in 2020, and the Plus 4 70 Anniversary Edition commemorates that with a chassis painted in gold to highlight its significance in Morgan's 111-year history.

Just 20 Plus 4 70 Anniversary Edition cars are to be built at the company's factory in Malvern, Worcestershire, and each is priced from £60,995.

They feature an individually numbered plaque, marking them out as some of the last steel-chassis Plus 4 models.

A specially embroidered headrest will further differentiate the edition while each has leather upholstery, a Ravenwood veneer dashboard dark grey box weave carpets and a satin black Mota-Lita steering wheel.

Other specified extras include a leather-trimmed steering cowl and door handles, mohair hood cover, and sidescreen storage bags.

Heated seats, footwell lighting, and an exclusive commemorative Photographic Build Record are also included with the car.

The cars come with an engine map configured by Aero Racing, Morgan's in-house motorsport specialists, raising power from 154bhp to 180bhp and taking its 0-62mph acceleration time down to less than seven seconds.

The anniversary cars are also fitted with an Aero Racing sports exhaust, finished with a ceramic-black tail pipe, which Morgan says allows the engine to truly sing.
