Obviously the mechanic advances over the years have been used to put the performance qualities of the present units on the same level as other companies’ sport cars. However, the 30s looks have always been preserved.

Morgan Motor Company was founded by Henry Frederic Stanley Morgan in 1910 in the small english town of Malvern Link. His early production consisted of three-wheel vehicles featuring motors from motorcycles, with the JAP two-cylindric of 990 c.c. which were very popular in the 20’s. Its sport success was largely used by the brand’s direction with commercial purposes.

These kind of vehicles enjoyed tax reductions from the British Goverment, up until 1933 when these benefits were suspended. Thus, the tricycles’ market experimented a sudden fall in the sales, which sank the brand in a deep financial crisis. To overcome these problems, it was decided to shift towards four-wheel models: in 1936 the production of the 4/4 model with motor Coventry Climax of 1122 c.c. and 34 C.V. was started. Its wooden, plate-covered body, was quite a conservation challenge in the weather of the British Islands.

The success of this vehicle was so huge that its production hasn’t stopped until today, although with different motorizations. Even a model for four persons was produced, perfect to experiment all the irregularities of the road, not to mention the little space for the luggage. Nevertheless, these facts have never been an impediment to continue with its production: the philosophy of the Mogs (as they are commonly known) doesn’t change after the years.

The model 4/4 also has an interesting list of victories that will be shown shortly. The participations in the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1938,1939,1952 and later in 1962, with the crowled radiator, are celebrated highlights of this model.

Henry Frederic Stanley Morgan died in 1959 and his son Peter Morgan took over, not only of his corporation, but also of his personal style and philosophy that lasts to our days. Slot Classic wants to pay a small tribute reproducing the 4/4 model.

Needless to say, I love the Morgan company. The fact that this model has never been available as a 1:32 slot car for electric racetracks, was really encourgaing to develop this project. Finally you can enjoy this unique model in your collection.
