8 thoughts on “Gasp: Morgan Will Have an Electric by 2020”
"The British car maker is going to invest $8.6 million (£6 million) to develop hybrid and electric powertrains for all the models in its range by 2019…"
This is a joke, right? This wouldn't even pay for the headbands and saki at a Toyota executive retreat.
The former CEO of ICI, Sir John Havey-Jones, [ twice visited the Morgan Works in Malvern Link ] to offer his big bidness advice. Sir John was convinced that the silly way they do things, FFS still using English wheels to put curves in sheet metal, would for certain take them to bankruptcy. Twenty-six years after Sir John's second visit, Morgan is the only remaining fully English-owned car maker, and if you want one, [ you'll need to be patient. ]
To be honest, the lede photo I took during a stop at the Works when we were in Malvern for their 100th Anniversary bash. My bride has a 1968 +8 with the steering wheel still on the proper side. She sometimes lets me wash it.
I knew you were an adherent of the virtues of corrosion-free ash frames. A little bird (named glasspusher) indiated that you'd also purchased a vehicle a more cutting-edge techmology.
True that. We keep cars for at least 25 years or 250K miles. Now moving to a plug-in hybrid with these funny collector thing up on the roof. Here in Seattle, how silly is that?

That's so cool. And I'll bet the gentlemen beating those panels wear neckties and proper shirts beneath their aprons.

Shocking, really.
Thought you meant this Porsche:

And by the way, the Porsche museum in Stuttgart is a pretty wonderful thing all by itself.
