Irishman Eddie Jordan was the founder and former owner of the Jordan Grand Prix team which he operated from 1991 to 2005.

The Jordan team had a few successes with its best result coming in the 1998 Belgium Grand Prix when Damon Hill and Ralf Schumacher achieved a one-two.

Auto Trader is the number one place to get yourself a celebrity-owned car. Over the past two months we’ve featured motors previously owned by the likes of Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney and boxer Mike Tyson.

Jordan’s old Morgan Plus 4 is a classic British sports car, which despite its vintage looks is less than a year old.

The Plus 4 is built to the same principles as the first model which rolled off the production line in 1951, combining a lightweight hand crafted body and traditional interior finish.

Powered by a 2-litre Ford-derived Duratec engine, the two seat Morgan produces 143bhp – meaning 0-62mph (100kph) in 7.3 seconds and a top speed of 120mph.

Inside, Jordan’s Plus 4 features a leather dash board and centre console, heated front screen and a claret leather interior while the outside boasts 15-inch stainless steel wire wheels – a £1,000 option.

It’s not the first time one of Eddie Jordan’s old cars has appeared on Auto Trader. Last year we featured another one of his British sports cars – an Aston Martin DB9.

But while you needed £81,000 for the Aston, you can get your hands on the Morgan Plus 4 – which is still covered under the manufacturer’s warranty and has a full service history – for £31,995 from Stratton Motor Company in Norfolk.
