The Morgan Motor Company is arguably the oldest independent automobile company still in existence, still producing sports cars just as it has for more than 100 years.

The Morgan 4/4 (initially designated 4-4) was introduced in 1935 and was the UK manufacturer’s first ever four-wheeled vehicle after previously producing only motorcycle-engined three-wheelers.

Originally a two-seater, a more practical 4/4 four-seat version was introduced in 1937 powered by a 34bhp, 1,122 cc Coventry-Climax four-cylinder engine but, when Climax ceased making engines available, Morgan switched to a tuned 1,267cc Standard Ten engine producing 39bhp.
