MORGAN CAR

[BARON]

The Morgan Car Co. is turning 100 next year and very little have changed over the years.
They are so popular that a few years ago there was still a waiting time of about 5 years to buy a new one
Morgan have been involved in the Le Mans 24 hr races with some success.





















Dont you think that last one looks great
The coupe models are more modern and runs with BMW V8 power
Cheers baron

They do look good!!!
Not too sure about buying a car made mostly from wood tho...

The pre-2007 Aero 8 and Aeromax had 'crosseyed squint' headlights - I am still not used to the look of it

They look like they come straight off a BMW-Mini.

I do like the looks of the coupe; very Batman.

Can imagine owners of these must be careful to avoid an infestation of woodcarver insects...

You are correct on that one maybe a must for this car is a fire extinguisher and a can of Doom.
And a luxury add on a small fridge for a tjoppie in case it burns. You can braai your car away.
Ive read a bit about restorations on these cars and it looks like the wood is very tough and stays good for a long time.
For me its the last of the real classics but Isuppose it depends on your age.
Oh something else I dont think they use the sliding pillar front suspension as in one of the pictures any more---that is a desing from the 1920 s
