This is what it's all about---sleek, hand built, and speedy. Their new model will set you back only 58,000 pounds. |
|
|
|
Here's another view of the same model. |
|
|
|
And this year's color---mustard yellow. |
|
|
|
They all start off looking like this----hard to tell whether it's a boat or a car. |
|
|
|
But then it starts to take shape. |
|
|
|
Ever seen a rack of motors? BMW motors, at that! |
|
|
|
You wouldn't think that a sharp looking car would have so much wood it it----but a substantial portion of workers we saw in the factory were woodworkers! |

Then sheet metal is placed over the wooden frames. |
|
|
|
More framing is added. |
|
|
|
Motor and transmission in place. |

The first Morgans had three wheels and an air-cooled engine. |
|
|
|
Here's a slightly later model, but still only three wheels. |

A view of the history of Morgan cars. |
|
|
|
This is the one I want---it's their classic model, and only costs around 30,000 pounds. That would translate to about $55,000. You can even get them with right-hand drive. Dream on. |
