Morgan at the Geneva Motor Show 2017

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Morgan celebrates a successful 2016 of sales, production and development with a full line-up of models at The 2017 #geneva Motor Show.

Continuing to thrive under the ownership of the founding family, #morgan remains the oldest privately owned moto manufacturer in the world – handcrafting coach built traditional British sports cars that are fun to drive and unique within the market place.

Building on a successful 12 months of sales, production and development in 2016, #morgan continues to go from strength to strength in 2017. Now in its 108th year of manufacturing, the British company built 750 vehicles in 20 of which 70% were exported through 60 official dealerships in 32 countries. The opening of new showrooms arou the world allows new Customers to enjoy the #morgan experience in markets previously without #morgan representation.

Two 3 Wheelers, an #ev3 and #ev3 Junior are joined by a 4/4, Plus 4, V6 Roadster, Plus 8 and Aero 8. 

The #morgan #ev3 UK1909 Both born in 1909 in England, Selfridges and #morgan were two iconic British brands waiting for the perfect opportunity to collaborate. With #morgan about to launch their first zero-emission, all-electric car, the #ev3, and Selfridges motoring ahead with its drive to put sustainability at the core of its business, the opportunity has finally arrived.

To make this collaboration truly unique, Selfridges and #morgan are creating a limited edition of the #ev3, called UK 1909 Edition, blending Morgan’s legendary engineering know-how and iconic design with Selfridges’ famous flair for fashion. The result is a car that is a collector’s item as desirable and beautiful as a piece of art and as practical, comfortable and fast as a 21st century car with carbon neutral credentials should be. A triumph of style and function that honours Morgan’s celebrated craftsmanship, the UK 1909 Edition will only ever be made in a limited edition run of 19 – a number that is a nod to the year during which both Selfridges and #morgan were founded.

The gorgeous, retro-futuristic three-wheeled electric vehicle, with an expected autonomy of between 120-150 miles depending on drive cycle and a top speed of around 90 miles an hour, boasts a beautiful bullet-bodied, face and exposed wheel design style which takes inspiration from 1930’s aero engine race cars, #classic motorcycles and 1950’s fantasy automatons. Brass conductive cooling fins encase the batteries and four large round headlights add to the overall boldness of the design which for the UK 1909 Edition limited edition comes in a luxurious yet understated black with Selfridges bronze detailing – reminiscent of the Oxford Street store’s iconic bronze name plaque.

Morgan x Christopher Ward

Premium British watch brand Christopher Ward, and luxury motor car manufacturer #morgan Motor Company, today, 7th March 2017, unveil a three-piece watch collection which marks the beginning of an exciting and unique five-year partnership.
