The Longest-manufactured Car in History: Morgan 4/4
The British family-owned Morgan Motor Company has been around since 1909 and prides itself in the hand-building of luxury automobiles. Its most famous model is the Morgan 4/4, which was introduced to the world in 1936 at the London Motor Show at the Olympia.
Last year, 80 years passed since the launch of production, which only saw a brief pause during World War II. The Morgan 4/4 is thus the longest-produced car model in the entire history of automobiles.
Morgan 4/4 in a luxury limited edition
Last year, the company decided to surprise and delight its fans by introducing a new anniversary edition of these luxury cars to the market, with only 80 units available. This luxury edition was manufactured entirely by hand and presented a whole range of new functions. The designers found inspiration for them in the earliest automobiles.
Unique details form a luxurious whole
The special elements include solid wheels with brass central locks and other exterior brass accents. The new 4/4 models are offered in three colours: Two Tone Green, Saxe Blue and Dark Red. The discreet sporty exhaust offers fine-tuned performance and an easily recognisable exhaust pipe. The brass grille, mohair roof and part of the boot cover distinguish this model even more from its luxurious predecessors.
The Morgan 4/4 you’ve dreamed of
However, future owners can customise the interior of the 4/4, choosing from a carefully selected palette of leathers and countless colour combinations of luxury carpeting. The brass décor covers look like jewels against the matte paint of the walnut-coloured dashboard. Several other details on the leather and door handles underscore the luxurious and refined look. A numbered commemorative plaque serves to remind each owner that their car is one of just 80 such unique automobiles.
The new-edition Morgan 4/4 models use a 1.6 litre Ford Sigma motor and are offered with right-hand or left-hand drive. The legendary car starts at £ 33,330 without tax.
