Morgan Motor Company

The Morgan Motor Company, better known as Morgan, is a British automotive manufacturer founded in 1910. Morgan began life building front engined three wheeler cars, with two wheels in the front and one in the rear. After these early three wheelers, which included the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/v-twin-three-wheeler/">V-Twin Three Wheeler</a> and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/f-series-three-wheeler/">F-Series Three Wheeler</a>, Morgan began building four wheel roadsters with models such as the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/44/">4/4</a> and the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/plus-4/">+4</a>, before later models like the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/plus-8/">Plus 8</a> and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/aero-8/">Aero 8</a> only further established the company as a builder of retro-inspired, classically designed sporty roadsters.

Morgan 4/4

The Morgan 4/4 was a series of sports cars that were introduced in 1936. The 4/4 was named for the model&#39;s four cylinders and four wheels (as previous Morgans had been three wheelers), and was largely offered as a roadster during its lifespan, although a drophead coupe was built during the model&#39;s early years. Except for a few breaks, the 4/4 was in continuous production for over 80 years until it was discontinued in 2019. The Morgan 4/4 was built in eight generations: <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/44/series-i/">Series I (1936-1950)</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/44/series-ii/">Series II (1956-1960)</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/44/series-iii/">Series III (1961)</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/44/series-iv/">Series IV (1962-1963)</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/44/series-v/">Series V (1964-1968)</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/44/1600/">1600 (1969-1993)</a>, <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/44/1600/">1800 (1994-2009)</a>, and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/morgan/44/16-litre/">1.6 Litre (2010-2019)</a>.
