We love
Morgan for its quintessentially British approach to motoring charm, and while the automaker has recently ventured into more modern machinery with the launch and development of its Aero line, it's the classic Plus 8 and Roadster that have stood the test of time, having first been released back in 1968.
Of course, classic cars are all well and good for those who covet the joy of driving, just so long as it's kept to weekends and sunny days, but there's always room for tinkering and improvement to bring things up to modern levels of performance and reliability. With that in mind, we suggest you

Charles Morgan has a pretty great job. The scion of Morgan's founder, and current managing director of the company clearly enjoys himself while driving the fruits of his enterprise. In another brief interview with Mr. Morgan, we get to hear and see a the tantalizing
3 Wheeler and Plus 8 on the road, overlaid with the man himself telling us just why his cars are so different, and so good.
When your priorities are brand history, great design, and, above all, building riotously fun-to-drive machines, you can be sure your cars will develop a following. So says
Morgan, and so we believe. Scroll down
below to see and hear, for yourself.

There are various points of entry to an exploration of England's
Morgan Motor Company, and ancestry research company Genes Reunited takes the method of family history. Morgan has been run by three generations of the family, starting with Harry F. S. Morgan - that's him sitting on the three-wheeler he invented in 1909.
In this brief but highly informative video, the company's archivist and museum curator, Martyn Webb, takes us on a trip through 104 years of Morgan stewardship. Starting with Harry and picking up with son Peter and grandson Charles, Webb also covers the vehicles - how the three-wheeler led to the 4/4 in 1936 and how those two have become the new
Three Wheeler and the
Morgan Aeromax. It's well worth a watch, and you can do just that by scrolling
below.

Our friends at XCAR were lucky enough to spend some time with Charles Morgan, the managing director of Morgan Motor Company, discussing exactly what makes the company's Aeromax so special. The machine was the company's first modern foray into the ultra high-end market. Morgan only built 100 examples of the car after a wealthy prince approached the company looking for a more unique version of the standard Aero. After Morgan showed off a concept at the Geneva Motor Show, the company had some 300 hand raisers asking for one of their own. Development started soon thereafter.
Morgan lets us all in on an interesting secret about the Aeromax about half way through the clip. As it turns out, the car is actually named after his son, Maximus, who was born just as engineering for the machine was coming to a close. The video is an interesting glimpse into the ethos behind the Morgan brand, and features plenty of beautiful shots of the Aeromax rolling through the frozen countryside. You can check it out below for yourself.
