Morgan s way of producing cars is unique. In this day and age, the company still makes use of real craftsmanship in every aspect of building its characterful cars, and every Morgan can be made to a bespoke specification to suit the individual customer s wishes. In Making a Morgan, the reader accompanies a very traditional model, a Morgan Plus 4, through every step of its build, from customer specification sheet to finished car a process that, in this instance, takes 17 days. During their stay in Malvern, the authors spent every day at the Pickersleigh Road factory and, in doing so, established a real rapport with the the Morgan craftsmen and craftswomen. A rapport that allows this book to present a truly intimate portrait of the individuals who so proudly build Morgans, and the painstaking way they go about their work. Featuring some 380 images, including a range of archive photos from the Morgan factory, this is a rare overview of a unique, and very British, manufacturing tradition. Never before in over 100 years of rich history has the Morgan production process been documented in such detail.

Vendeur : Book Express (NZ), Shannon, Nouvelle-Zélande
Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 160 pages. In Making a Morgan the reader accompanies a very traditional model, a Morgan Plus 4, through it's build from customer's specification sheet to finished car. A process that, in this instance, will take 17 days.All Morgans can be be spoke, and the unique thing about 'our' car is that it will be built with a narr ow frame front end that properly belongs to a 4/4 model. Invisible, except to Mo rgan cognoscenti, this non-standard front end means that the distance between th e headlamps and the radiator grille is somewhat less than on the standard Plus 4 models. Most likely, this customer prefers understatement, but on the other han d didn't hold back when specifying the car's equipment: sports model without spa re wheel, a 2-litre engine, polished wire-spoke wheels, door pockets, full leath er interior in red, map light, hood, sidescreens, tonneau cover in black mohair, front and rear overriders on the bumpers, sun visors, and a radio with CD playe r.Oh, yes, before we forget, this car will be painted in the very traditi onal, dark, Irish Green paint, code L4069. Why there should be so many green Mor gans is a mystery to us; after all, customers can choose from a palette of aroun d 40,000 colours!Although the car will be delivered to a London Morgan de alership, what we have here is a model with left-hand drive steering. Most likel y, the customer lives on the Continent. He, or she, doesn't know that a book is being written about their Morgan but, of course, the authors will see to it that the car's new owner gets an autographed copy of the book.
