Jay Leno Reviews the New Morgan ThreeWheeler
Jul 18th
Whilst visiting England to enjoy the sights, sounds and petrol fumes for the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed, Jay Leno has found the time to visit Malvern and take the 2011 Morgan 3 Wheeler for a spin (not literally, although Jay does seem to have a tussle with a grass verge at one stage: UK Grass 1, Mr. Leno 0!)
Despite his detour, Jay gives the latest vehicle from MMC a big thumbs-up and from his conversation with Charles Morgan, he has joined the queue of customers for this exciting trike. Enjoy…
Interview with Tim Whitworth, Morgan Motor Company Finance Director
Mar 11th
Following in the footsteps, or should that read pod-steps?, of the audio interviews with Steve Morris, Operations Director of Morgan Motor Company, and Matt Humphries, Head of Design, Morgan Car News, in collaboration with Maximise Potential and Talk Morgan, are pleased to announce the release of Tim Whitworth’s interview.
Kevin Matthews of Maximise Potential sums of this exciting conversation perfectly: -
“Tim Whitworth, Finance Director of Morgan, has the unenviable task of making the numbers balance within this last remaining marquee of British Motoring history.
Yet Tim views this responsibility as one of the best challenges he could ever be faced with, due to his clear passion and genuine attachment to the brand.
He considers himself to be an unconventional Finance Director, who takes as much interest in the human aspects of the company as the numbers, citing Morgan’s collaborative working culture as key to so much of the company’s success.
This is a great opportunity to go behind the scenes of Morgan and also the man responsible for it’s finances, in this very informative and candid interview.”

Morgan Aero SuperSports Walk-Around Video
Jun 23rd
A simple article for this warm June evening – a quick 1-minute video walk-around of the 2010 Morgan Aero SuperSports. This particular example is owned by someone with the X-Factor, definitely a Britain with talent and more than a Pop Idol. A man with a razor sharp ability to speak the truth and obviously, from his latest car purchase, excellent taste in sports cars.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the vehicle in question, it is the limited production run Aero SuperSports: powered by a 4.8 BMW V8, with 362bhp and 370lb ft of torque, the light weight aluminium chassis and body, (total vehicle weight 1,175 kg), allow this sports car to sprint from rest to 62 mph in 4.5 seconds.
