  • O Morgan Confirms Plans for Additional Models in 2020, Underpinned by Its CX-Generation Aluminium Platform
    o Morgan confirms plans for additional models in 2020, underpinned by its CX-Generation aluminium platform o The CX-Generation platform was introduced in the Morgan Plus Six, launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019 o 2020 will mark the end of production for the traditional steel chassis, a variation of which was introduced in 1936 and is currently used in the Morgan 4/4, Plus 4 and V6 Roadster o All-new CX-Generation models are in development to replace the existing models built on the traditional steel chassis o The 2020 Morgan model line-up will feature a manual gearbox within the range, for the first time in a CX-Generation model o New models will feature smaller capacity engines than the 3.0 litre inline six-cylinder engine in the Plus Six Malvern, 11 December 2019 The Morgan Motor Company is to continue its technology drive with the launch of new models based on its recently introduced CX-Generation aluminium platform. The new car introductions will take place in 2020 and form a core range of models for the British manufacturer. It follows the success of the first car to use this platform, the Morgan Plus Six. Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019, it has received an overwhelmingly positive reaction from both the press and customers, in large part thanks to its CX-Generation platform. Designed in house by Morgan, the CX-Generation platform is twice as rigid as the previous aluminium chassis used by the company, which underpinned the Aero 8 and second-generation Plus 8 models.

And, along with it, has died Morgan’s venerable Plus 8, a stalwart of the company’s line-up since 1968. Is it doom for the world’s most traditional car maker? Charles Morgan and co, of course, say not – and here’s the reason for their confidence, a very early pre-production Morgan Roadster, powered by a Ford V6. This is the first time any magazine has driven the car, and it’s not in the usual controlled environment, high-budget launch. They’ve simply left the car with us for a few days, with a casual promise that someone will be along to collect it when we’re done. 07 04 71 F UELLING THE PASSION Morgan V6 Roadster This is great news because no Morgan, new or old, can be here was a sports car with effortless torque, startling evaluated in a rushed day of testing and photographing.

  • Mogsouth Newsletter 11 15
    SOUTHERN FOURS AND EIGHTS NEWSLETTER OF THE SOUTHERN MORGAN OWNERS GROUP MOGSOUTH VOL. 11/15 he MOGSouth Fall Meet, held October 30th thru November 1st, in historic, downtown Rome, Georgia, was well attended and showcased a beautiful covey of Morgans. The hallmark of the event was attention to detail by our T wonderful hosts, Judy and Gary Heck. Lodging was at the Hawthorn Suites Hotel, a beautifully renovated 1800’s vintage manufacturing warehouse located on the banks of the Oostanaula River. The hospitality room overlooked the river and featured an outdoor deck with solar lighted table tops. The Heck’s preparation went beyond inspecting the hotel, they spent a night there to ensure its suitability. Arrival at the hotel featured a greeting party and parking assistance; reserved parking for our cars at the front entrance was maintained thru the weekend. In recognition of the prospect for Halloween mischief, the Rome police provided a well -appreciated recognizable presence in our parking area. Registration was rewarded with a Goodie Bag that Judy obviously took great effort to assemble. After the traditional arrival Noggin and a short walk along the river to the dock, we took a relaxing dinner cruise and reconvened in the Hospitality Room. Saturday got off to an early start (precisely on schedule!) with a convoy along delightful winding back roads through farm country to Chattanooga. The Goodie Bag included amazingly complete directions for every leg of travel throughout the weekend; getting lost wasn’t possible. After a rest stop at the Chickamauga Battlefield Park Welcome Center, we arrived at the Coker Tire Museum.

    SOUTHERN FOURS AND EIGHTS NEWSLETTER OF THE SOUTHERN MORGAN GROUP MOGSOUTH VOL. 2/11 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance March 11 – 13, 2011 his winter I‘ve been driving the Plus 8 most weeks to work and on the weekends and the weather has been reasonably good. It‘s been cool for Florida but certainly great driving weather. Now, however it‘s really starting to get nice. Mid 70‘s during the day with cool mornings and evenings. A sweater, the leather driving gloves and T a MOGSouth ball cap. Perfect! Aside from all these short, sporadic Morgan forays however are the major Morgan events and adventures we plan for each year. This year we have a good number of events planned but the Amelia Island Concours d‘Elegance is once again the first major event in our 2011 Morgan driving season. I make a point to always take a Morgan to take to Amelia. I have taken my 4/4 once or twice, the Plus 8 a number of times, and I showed the 1938 DHC last year. Only once did I have to resort to a ‘tin top‘ but that was because my butt hurt. (A long story, best saved for another time.) The Amelia Island Concours d‘Elegance is a spring tradition for us and this year we went just to see the cars and enjoy the general ambiance. None of the pressure of showing a car or helping someone else show a car. We usually make it an extended weekend by taking Friday and Monday off from work.
