Morgan Motor Company introduces a range of ‘110 Anniversary’ models

While Morgan Motor Company isn’t the most widely recalled automotive marque in recent history, the pervasiveness of their heritage cars in many areas of motorsport, from club and historic racing, including the famed Le Mans 24hr race, means that brand occupies a hallowed position in the hearts of true motor-heads. After all, with classic car models like the Morgan Aero 8 GT car that campaigned in 2008 Britcar races and the 2008 Britcar 24hrs at Silverstone, prepared and run by Mark Bailey Racing, it’s hard to deny the kind of automotive provenance and street-cred possessed by the carmaker. 110 years on, Morgan Motor Company is introducing a range of ‘110 Anniversary’ models to celebrate their 110th birthday in 2019.
