A car with heritage
First designed and built in 1909 by Malvern-based engineer Henry Morgan, the Morgan 3-wheeler was the start of an all-British car marque that has become legendary in the world of classic cars. Affectionately known as ‘Moggies’, Morgan continues to hand-build instantly-recognisable cars at the factory in Malvern, with a new range being introduced to celebrate the company’s 110th Anniversary.

The Colour
The colour scheme is specially designed in memory of Alan Braithwaite’s Father who drove Morgan 3-Wheelers between the First and Second World Wars. According to Alan: “As a boy I remember him saying that if he won the Pools [now the Lottery] he would buy a black Bristol car with yellow wheels. My brother and I never understood where that came from – but it sure looks good!”
