Morgan History:
H.F.S. Morgansfirst car design was a single-seat three-wheeled runabout which was fabricated for his personal use in 1909. Interest in his runabout led him to patent his design and begin production. While he initially showed single-cylinder and twin-cylinder versions of his runabout at the 1911 Olympia Motor Exhibition, he was convinced at the exhibition that there would be greater demand for a two-seat model. Morgan built his cars" reputation by entering them in competitions. One of his racing cars won the 1913 Cyclecar Grand Prix at Amiens in France. This became the basis for the Grand Prix model of 1913 to 1926, from which evolved the Aero, Super Sports, and Sports models. Beginning in 1932, a new series of Morgan three-wheelers began with the F-4. The F-4, and its later siblings the F-2 and the F-Super, used a pressed-steel chassis and a four-cylinder Ford automobile engine. Production of the Ford-engined three-wheelers would continue until 1952. Morgansfirst four-wheeler was the 4-4, for four-cylinder engine and four wheels. The first production 4 wheeled Morgan was released to the public in 1936 and is known as the Morgan 4-4 Series 1. Three-wheeler production continued along side the 4-4 until 1952. Faced with the decreasing availability of large four-cylinder engines for use in their +4 models, Morgan began to install the recently-available Rover V8 engine in their cars in 1968, giving these cars the model designation +8. In the +8sfinal iteration, the Rover V8 was fuel-injected and produced 196hp. Thus powered, the car could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds. Enthusiasts work on the engine, exhaust and electronic chip management to improve this figure. For a few years in the 1980s, all Morgans, 4/4s, Plus 4s, and Plus 8s imported into the United States were converted to run on LPG (propane) as fuel to pass the U.S. emissions regulations. In 2000, the Morgan Aero 8 was introduced and, as always, the wooden body substructure was ash.

Morgan Overview:
The Morgan Motor Company is a British automobile manufacturer. The company was founded in 1910 by H.F.S. Morgan and was run by him until 1959. Peter Morgan, son of H.F.S., ran the company until his death in 2003. The factory is located in Malvern Link (an area of Malvern in Worcestershire) and has 155 employees. All the cars are assembled by hand. The waiting list for a car can be up to a year. Production is nine cars a week and each car takes three months to build.

Other Morgan Details:
Morgan Motor Company has since produced popular models like; Morgan Roadster and Morgan Aero 8.The Morgan Roadster is the latest model produced by the Morgan Motor Company. It was introduced in 2004 replacing the Morgan plus 8. The car is identical to its predecessor except for new modern Ford V6 mechanicals. It was based on the chassis design of the Morgan Plus 4 extended by 2 inches (50 mm) in wheelbase and the same in the track but the big change was the engine which was the Rover V8 unit, which at first had a capacity of 3528 cc, coupled to a 4 speed gearbox. The Morgan Aero 8 is a Sports car designed and built by the Morgan Motor Company in their factory in Malvern Link; Great Britain. The Aero 8 is notable for several reasons. Primarily because it is the first new Morgan design since the Morgan Plus 8, which was released in 1968. It is also the first Morgan vehicle with an alloy. The engine powering the Aero 8 is a 4400 cc V8 built by BMW and is mated to a 6-Speed Getrag transmission. All Aero 8s are built by hand in MorgansMalvern Link factory, where they are able to produce up to 9 cars a week.
