MORGAN CAR INSURANCE

In 1910 H.F.S. Morgan helped by Mr Stephenson Peach the grandson of the 'Rocket' designer built his first three-wheeler cars. In 1936, after a prototype had been tested in trials and on the track, a four-wheeler was exhibited at the London and Paris Exhibitions. The new model was called the Morgan Four Four to differentiate it from the three-wheeler, indicating four cylinders and four wheels. The car had a Z section full width steel chassis with boxed cross members and the body was an ash frame panelled in aluminium. Whilst it has evolved over the years and engine suppliers have gone through Standard, Triumph, Rover and Ford this car is essentially the Morgan 4/4 of today giving it the longest production run of any car in the world.

The 4/4 and +8 are still built in Malvern Link with a traditional ash-framed body alongside the new Aero8, a rather more modern car with an aluminium alloy chassis, ABS, and no wood at all! The Aero8 is a serious motorsport contender, as Morgans 3 and 4 wheeled have been throughout their history, and great things are hoped for at this year's LeMans 24-hour endurance races.
