Morgan Factory Tour - Malvern

[kieranadams97]

Thought I'd share the pictures from my trip up to the Morgan factory in Malvern.
I drove up this morning and found some nice windy B roads on route to have a play on, got to the place at 1 o'clock for a guided tour. Prices were reasonable considering the tour lasted 2 hours. Some properly wicked cars in production, although a Morgan wouldn't ever be a car I would desire it was fascinating seeing the process of these cars being built. To me they seem like professionally made kit cars. Anyway here are some pictures I took at various points in the day. Worth the trip.

With my name being Morgan I have always said I will have one of these and hope to at some point in later life.

There are two very fast classic V8 Morgan's that compete in the Scottish Sports & Saloons at Knockhill. They're lapping around 57s, to put that into perspective, there are modified Leon supercopas, 450bhp Scoobys and even Caterham 400's lapping at similar times. The wooden chassis' offer great flex and grip.

Got enough rear lights there?! :anguished:
I'd have one of those 3 wheelers as a weekend toy if I were minted, proper cool little cars.

I've driven an aero 8 and have to say loved it !

I want a 3 wheeler so much it hurts.
Been in a 3 wheeler with the no-baffle option exhaust, a roadster (The V6 engined one), one of the basic ones and this exact car:

Got to 130 very quickly indeed.

The GT racers and 3 wheelers are the business.

Got to admit - those three wheelers look a riot - proper fun.

Not sure about those Aero ones above though. They just look like they they've head-butted a lamp-post and not even attempted a repair. I never liked the Porsche 996 tear-drop headlights - but these Morgans are a whole new level entirely!

They are mini headlights not 996 headlights.

No, I know that. Just that the 911 range has long been a favourite of mine. Then some designer decided to do what they did with the 996 lights and it was all a bit 'ewww' at the front end.

What I'm saying is that the Porsche example was bad enough. But with the Aero? It has a front end that only a hardcore Morgan owner could love. A shame too as the profile view of them looks amazing.

I agree entirely mate. The three wheelers were definitely my favourite. All the others are too curvy for me, they looked bad ass without any of the bodywork on!
