Morgan



The Morgan Motor Company is a British motor car manufacturer. The company was founded in 1910 by Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan, generally known as “HFS” and was run by him until he died at age 77 in 1959. Peter Morgan, son of H.F.S., ran the company until a few years before his death in 2003.

The company is currently headed by Charles Morgan, son of Peter Morgan. Morgan is based in Malvern Link, an area of Malvern, Worcestershire and employs 163 people.

Morgan produced 640 cars in 2007. All the cars are assembled by hand. The waiting list for a car is approximately one to two years, although it has been as high as ten years in the past.

The visitor centre and museum feature a guided tour of the factory and exhibits about the company’s history from Edwardian times until the present day, developments in automobile technology, and a display of automobiles.

In spite of their traditional design, Morgans have always had sporting or “sports car” performance, due to their extremely low weight. Among their enthusiasts, Morgans are affectionately known as “Moggies”.

H.F.S. Morgan’s 1909 Runabout used sliding pillar suspension, an independent front suspension system with each front wheel mounted on a kingpin mounted to slide along a fixed pillar and located by a spring. Morgan used developments of this suspension system throughout its existence and it is still used on Morgan’s “classic” line, although not on the Aero 8 or its derivatives
