Pure Morgan!

These are the words of the Morgan Motor Company...."Shared enjoyment, a sense of adventure and taking the long route home, the 4/4 represents the purest Morgan experience available"....and who am I to disagree!

It is the longest running production vehicle in the world, a true icon....and I am extremely lucky to own one!
The coast of Brittany

Burgundy
From the south of France, to Spain, to John O'Groats in the far north, to the Ring of Kerry in the far west and all stations in between, my wife and I have had huge enjoyment and certainly a sense of adventure.
Near Albi in the south of France

Lekeitio, Spain
Ours, bought in 2008, is totally original, untouched by modified suspension, tweaks to the brakes, performance exhaust system etc.,etc. It is, as they say, 'bog standard' and in my opinion all the better for it.
The Ring of Kerry

If we had wanted our Morgan to drive and behave on the road like a modern car we'd have bought a Mazda, BMW or Audi Sports model.....in any event they are all a bit too common anyway!
John O'Groats, Scotland

The bridge to Skye
We love the experience of driving as it used to be, although, admittedly, it is now rare to be able to pootle along a delightful empty road without being harassed by another vehicle about 20 cms from our rear bumper!
The English Lake District

The Yorkshire Dales
But we can live with that, the car is a joy, a thing which gives us and others so much pleasure, whether it is a picnic in the fells or a quick blast down the road with the sound of that throaty exhaust echoing in our ears.

Long live the 4/4!!!
