Model history

A Morgan is not a normal car, it is a product of classic craftsmanship – from the body frame made of seasoned ash wood to the hand-soldered tanks and the sheet metal bodywork cut to individual measurements. Morgan has been building visually almost unchanged models with different engines since 1936. In 1968, the Rover V8 was installed under the hood, resulting in the Morgan Plus 8, which initially delivered 150 hp and later up to 220 hp. With a Morgan, every curve is a challenge – a curb weight of only about 900 kg ensures good performance and enormous driving pleasure.
