What They're Saying
Critics Review
This isn’t a how-to technical guide into how Morgans are made, but more a book for those who would like a window into the idiosyncratic way in which Morgans are built. At first glance, you could easily dismiss it as a coffee table fodder, made to be looked at but not read, but there’s actually some very good material in here, particularly the exclusive interviews with the Morgan staff. A must for Morgan owners, and good for those with engineering curiosity too. - Classic Car Weekly. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It would be a great addition to anyone’s Morgan or automotive library, and I believe you will find yourself referring back to it and its wonderful photography and sharing it with friends and fellow Morgan associates. It would be a great gift to your favourite Morgan person. A great idea by Andreas very well executed. I would say it is destined to be a Morgan classic. - The Morganeer. Morgan Motor Company is an enigma, clinging to ancient production methods to build its iconic sports cars. This book goes behind the scenes of the Malvern factory in an enjoyable account, tracking a car’s build from start to finish. There’s a good history section at the start as well. - Auto Express.an enjoyable read for Morgan fans and those interested in the construction of a modern classic. Classic & Sports Car
