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.

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. 8)

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

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
