The history of the Morgan Motor Company

Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan designed and built a car for his own personal use in 1909 and founded the Morgan Motor Company a year later in 1910. The first Morgan cars were simple single-seat machines steered with a tiller and powered by either a single cylinder 4 h.p. engine or an 8h.p. V-twin engine.  Named “The Runabout,” these original cars were unveiled to the public at the Olympia motorcycle show in London in November 1910. The car manufacturer ran under Morgan until he died at age 77 in 1959.

Morgan is the UK’s last family owned car manufacturers and still produces around 1300 cars every single year. Each and every Morgan car is handcrafted using three core elements: ash, aluminium and leather. Using the same wooden chassis design of the original models, each car is meticulously assembled by hand, offering bespoke customer personalisation.

As well as the original design, the Plus 4 is also available in a “narrow body” version. Sporting thinner wings and tyres, the narrow body Plus 4 has the more traditional look of the 4/4 whilst retaining the power of the Plus 4.
