Description

By: Charles Morgan, Gregory Bowden .

MORGAN CARS are renowned for their distinctiveness, craftsmanship and glamour, and the Morgan Motor Company is one of the most admired car manufacturers in the world. It is also the only car maker in the world to have survived for a century under the ownership and control of its founding family, and 2009 marks Morgan's centenary year. Today, Morgan is no longer a rather obscure marque with a small but dedicated following, but a worldwide brand making innovative and groundbreaking new cars.

Published to coincide with centenary celebration events around the world, this stunning book has been co-written by Morgan expert Gregory Houston Bowden, and Morgan's Executive Director, Charles Morgan. The first part is an in-depth, yearby-year history of the company from 1909, including sporting successes, technical improvements, the family history and developments at the factory. The second part looks in more detail at particular stories associated with the Morgan: the life of Peter Morgan; the company's remarkable business history; Morgan's heroic battles at Le Mans; the launch, in 2000, of the Morgan Aero 8, probably the most technically advanced sports car in the world; the highly exclusive AeroMax; and the future Morgan LIFEcar. Accompanying the text is a wealth of photographs, many of which are from the Morgan archives and are previously unpublished.

This book — the most complete history of Morgan ever to be published and the only book officially authorized by the Morgan Motor Company — will be of great interest to all Morgan enthusiasts for many years to come.
