Morgan Roadster Lightweight Racer Special Edition
On the road to the race! A truly rare opportunity to acquire a genuine Morgan race car with German street registration. Currently with well under 30,000 km on the odometer.
This is a one-of-a-kind, irreplaceable opportunity. A purebred racer, meticulously developed by the previous owner into a true race car without regard for cost.
This special edition Roadster Lightweight is right-hand drive (RHD), specifically registered for Germany with documents including a valid TÜV inspection (Registration Certificate Parts I + II, COC available). Designed for racing to achieve faster lap times than RHD models; in comparison to LHD versions, it posts times up to 2–5 seconds faster. The previous owner quotes, “The Lightweight runs like a dream!”
Equipment "On the Road to the Race" Package includes a quick-release hardtop in body color, Merz & Papst/SparcoRev bucket seats with 4-point harnesses and additional 3-point seat belts for road use, and dual paint in Viola with silver fenders.
Introduced in 2005, the Roadster Lightweight is a turnkey race car based on the Roadster V6 Racer. These exclusive models compete in the Morgan Challenge and offer pure driving pleasure.
Technical specifications and equipment include a complete road package with passenger seat, multi-point seat belts, and full-size windshield. It features a carbon-fiber hardtop that is quickly removable, sidepipes, Yokohama 023R semi-slick tires (225/50 R15, freshly mounted), battery master switch, roll bar, and is street-legal (ZB Parts I + II, COC). The vehicle has a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, controlled costs, and racing standards, with Morgan Cup costs approximately 3,000 euros per season across six events. This is a limited special edition, consecutively numbered as No. 3.
Additional differences from the standard Lightweight include a curb weight of 780 kg, oil cooler, shortened springs, ball-bearing steering knuckles, five-leaf spring, racing brake system with competition pads and racing brake fluid, steel-braided lines, Panhard rod, tension and compression struts, and a short rear axle ratio. The engine, transmission, rear axle, and ECU are factory sealed, with no modifications permitted. The maximum of 100 vehicles built makes this a highly sought-after collector’s item.
Optional road package includes a carbon-fiber hardtop painted to match the body color, which is quickly removable. The original price was £3,450 + VAT, with a current factory value of approximately 16,000 euros.
Fuel type is premium. The vehicle is in normal condition, on consignment, freshly inspected, equipped with 15-inch alloy wheels, rear-wheel drive, sport steering wheel, and sport exhaust.
