Michael M Palmer
At the core of Morgan motoring lies the Morgan 4/4. It is the great grandparent of the rest of the 'traditional' Morgan range. Representing the best of the traditional British sports car, it combines modern performance and reliability with iconic styling that recalls a golden age of motoring. In this fascinating and in-depth account, Michael Palmer examines the car's history, design, development and manufacture.
With Morgan Motor Company confirming its commitment to production of the 4/4 into the foreseeable future - the little car from Malvern has become not only a motoring legend, but also a record breaker - as the car with the longest continuous production record in the world.
