Berrybrook Motors Ltd
If there's one company that showcases everything that's great about British motoring, it's Morgan. One of the classic brands from the true golden years, it found a supremely successful formula and has stuck with it for over a century. Now the marque blends fantastic performance with classic designs and the results are simply amazing!
The Morgan Motor Company was founded back in 1910 and its initial models were small 3 wheeler cycle cars such as the Runabout Deluxe. The Aero and SuperSports took the design further and were actually quite luxurious. The 4-4 was the company's first proper 4 wheel car and was the start of a new era.
In the post war years, Morgan was into producing luxurious sports cars in a big way, and the +4 was a great success. This was followed by the 4/4 which set the standard for autos of a similar ilk and is still produced today. The unique designs and high performance became the hallmark of the brand. The subsequent +8 was typical of this and became one of the most famous models in the company's history.
In the modern era, Morgans are still hot property despite some strange cross-eyed headlight designs. If you're after a car that looks like something from the 1930s but can be compared to all big name brands in terms of speed, poise and handling, there's nothing better. The Roadster, Aero 8, AeroMax and astonishing Aero SuperSports are all up there with the best but still dominate the specific niche.
Just looking at a Morgan you get the feeling it'll cost quite a lot, and you wouldn't be wrong. A brand new one will set you back a small fortune, and then you'll have to wait years for it to be painstakingly built by hand; after all, quality isn't sacrificed.
Finding a second hand Morgan at Motors.co.uk is very simple. The great thing is that you'll pay considerably less and be able to drive it away in no time at all. Quality doesn't disappear either, so it's a win-win situation. Sales aren't exactly a common occurrence though due to the rarity of the brand, so if you manage to find one get in there quickly!
Morgan is a timeless brand that never gets old. Across the years it has produced some astonishing autos and modern variants deliver classic motoring with 21st century performance.
