MORGAN 3-WHEELER GOLD PORTFOLIO, 1910-52

H.F.S. Morgans original intention was to produce a cheap, economy car. The basic design of the first Morgan was incorporated in all cars until 1932 with a light tubular frame with a front mounted V-twin motorcycle type engine. Refinements such as front wheel brakes and underslung rear springs were added over the years. Later came the two-speed car in 1932 followed by the three-speed version. The engine was not enclosed until the F-type appeared in 1934 with a Ford engine under a conventional bonnet. Despite the original intention of economy the power to weight ratio lent itself to competition work and with various modifications were used successfully during the 1930s. This is a book of contemporary road tests. Specification and technical data, new model introductions, competition use, history, tuning and maintenance, travel.
