A British Motoring success is what can only describe the Morgan motoring company - established in 1909 with the design and production of the three wheeler, then hand built Morgan went from strength to strength with the development of a 4 wheel version. Thames TV's 'Drive in' picks up the story.

    Peter Morgan. What a fabulously plummy accent and pleasingly modulated voice. His voice sounds like the cars look :) Could have made a living in radio broadcast.

    This is probably the only British car factory that didn't suffer work stoppage due to a strike during the 1970s...

    This must've been around the time Soichiro Honda said that someday there'd only be four or five automakers in the world, "plus Morgan, of course."

    That wheelbarrow chassis is STILL the basis of the modern models. Love the way he say to (paraphrase) " we were happy building them with three wheels, but struggled a bit with the idea of having 4 wheels" LOL!

    Just watched the 'Troubleshooter' documentary from 1990 when they had a 12 year waiting list. So they were doing ok in the 70's. Good to see that today they are still going and have sorted their marketing problems.

    In the 1970s the relationship between your income and the cost of buying one was balanced.......but today the cost of even the base level car is way ahead of average income . I remember having a heated discussion with Derrick Day and Peter Morgan over quality issues on my new Morgan I won in the end !
