Morgan 70th Anniversary, 2006

Morgan 70th Anniversary, 2006

 There are many motor manufacturers who can claim 70 years of continuous production, but it is only the Morgan Motor Company who can make this claim with the same model!

Launched back in 1936 the Morgan 4/4 remains in full production today. To celebrate this unique achievement, the Morgan Motor Company has unveiled a special model.

Appropriately named "70th Anniversary", just 142 cars will be built - two cars for every year of its production life since launch. Each car individually marked with the year it honours, and finished in period style.

With the specification subtly changing through the decades with period colours, trims and hood styles, the standard specification of fold flat windscreen, vintage dashboard, sheepskin bonnet strap and drilled steel wheels with chrome hub caps, all add highly visual links to the past.

A strong galvanised steel chassis carries coachbuilt bodywork of aluminium panels over an ash frame, built to the same tradition as the 1930s.
The 70th Anniversary limited edition cars have been fully tested and developed to meet all of the latest crash and emission standards with the latest 4/4s being powered by the super efficient 1.8 litre 125 bhp Ford Duractec engine.

The new Morgan 4 seater
New for 2006 is the exciting 4 seater from Morgan. Long awaited by aficionados, the 4 seater makes a welcome return with a raft of new specification, options and for the first time in its 70-year history, engine choice.

The Morgan 4 seater has never before been available with a range topping engine - until now that is. Unveiled at the Salon de L'auto in Geneva, Morgan is proud to introduce a 223 Bhp version, giving this model the highest power to weight ratio of any open 4 seater on the market.

Two engine variants are on offer, a lusty 145 Bhp 2.0 in the +4 4 seater, and the smooth and powerful 3.0 V6 Roadster 4 seater, both using versions of Ford's well proven Duratec engine delivering performance, economy and reliability which compliment the sheer practicality of this new model.

Major styling revisions to the rear of the car, and improved rear seat packaging mean that this is no cramped 2+2. A new hood system gives greater head room, sufficient for full sized adults to sit comfortably - not that the little ones have been left out, as two ISO fix child seats can now be accommodated in the rear.

For those continental trips, or just a visit to the local garden centre, one, or both rear seats can be folded forward to accommodate awkward loads.

Sidescreens now have painted lower sections, and a complete front to back wooden centre console can be ordered as an option, linking nicely with the traditional ash framed body - a Morgan hallmark. New too for 2006 are optional 18" stainless steel wire wheels.
