Morgan Motor Company

Morgan Motor Company is a british automobile manufacturer. The company was founded in 1912 by H.F.S. Morgan and the company is still a family company run by Peter Morgan, grandson of H.F.S. The early cars were two seater, three wheeled cars, and when they introcuced a four wheel car it was called 4/4 for four cyliner engine and four wheels.

In 2000 the Morgan Earo 8 was introduced and for the first time ash was not used for the fram. Instead the frame was in aluminum, altight many details were still made in ash. All the cars are still assembled by hand and they currently has a 12 month waiting list.

In spite of their traditional design they have modern sport car performance. The Morgan Plus 8 is powered by a fuel injected 196 hp Rover V8 and makes the car do 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds.
