 1936 Morgan F4 Open Tourer |
The Morgan Motor Company is a British automobile manufacturer. The company was founded in 1912 by H.F.S. Morgan and was run by Peter Morgan, son of H.F.S., until his death in 2003. The early cars were two seaters and three wheeled cars. When they introduced a four wheel car it was called the "4/4", for four-cylinder engine and four wheels.
In 2000 the Morgan Aero 8 was introduced and, as always, ash was used to build the frame. All the cars are assembled by hand. The waiting list can be up to a year.
In spite of their traditional design they have modern sports car performance. The Morgan Plus 8, powered by a fuel injected 196 hp Rover V8, can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds. The Morgan Aero 8 is faster.
The factory is located in Malvern Link (an area of Malvern in Worcestershire) and has 130 employees. Production is nine cars a week and each car takes three months to build.
