1938 Morgan 4+4 Le Mans Excellent Condition 15617 Miles
In 1938 Morgan made their debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Instantly, the team made history. The specially-prepared 1938 Morgan 4/4 was equipped with a 1098cc Coventry Climax engine and raced by Prudence Fawcett, the first woman to ever race Le Mans. On its first attempt, the Morgan and its team placed 13th overall and 2nd in its class. Though this may sound like a modest result, no Morgan had ever competed in a 24-hour endurance race of that caliber and, with nearly 30 cars not able to reach the checkered flag, just finishing Le Mans in this era was a massive achievement.
