The Morgan Motor Company located in Britain doesn’t change in a changing world. Not only it is still independent, but it also makes each car by hand. A base model is about $44,000, but some cars cost up to $300,000. And people wait for over a year to get their exclusive hand-built cars with the shell made out of metal and much of the vehicle made out of wood. Working on the wood interior, workers use metal shears to individually shape a hood because each car has to be different. Every year Morgan produces about 600 cars. The company will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2011. It has a long interesting history, because it is still run by the same family: the Morgans. Founded by Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan known as “HFS”, it was then ran by his son Peter, and now it is run by Charles, the son of Peter Morgan.

uwelcome brother !
Wow nice info bro !!
thats amazing!!!!
What is the secret behind keeping the rotation on each of the front tyres opposite to eachother?
thats to be called hand job. really amazing
watched review of the very same car on this weeks fifth gear
what is the impact strength of these cars?
Exactly what i wanted to ask
the design of the wooden frame models hasn't changed since 1960s so the drive quality, safety and performance are reflective of that very era, the latest model with the projection lights, metal chassis, and more curvier yet modern looks is a super car and costs a lot more than the wooden chassis basic models and has modern suspension and safety features. it is similar to a 911 turbo in linear performance but is front heavy and thus harder to maneuver corners with. these cars are more novelty than they are practical. this is evident by the high prices.
Wow!Nice info.Thanks for the share.
wooow.....great info bro....

Those cars are different & a modern-world classic. What I love the most about them, are their power-trains ; Bmw!!
