I found this on the Autoexpress website.

Kiss Of LIFE For Fuel Cell Morgan

It sounds bizarre, but tiny British sports car firm Morgan is working to put a hydrogen fuel cell engine into a vehicle.

The £1.9million project is called LIFECar, and up to 75 per cent of the cash has been

supplied by the Department for Trade and Industry. The investment was secured through the Foresight project, the UK auto industry's scheme for pioneering motoring ideas. No one at Morgan was available for comment.

I take it will be launched at the Geneva show.
Sounds good.

Morgan are a bit tight liped about it as I have emailed them and they are not giving much away.

I take it is will be the fast back style car mentioned on the forum.

Hmmm, intersting.

Morgan are actually quite a good car to squeeze fuel cell + fuel tanks into as there is a large space to put all the gear.

It'll be an interesting car, but ultimately, it'll be pointless as it won't be cost effective or be particularly durable (if fuel cell history is anything to go by)

I believe they do. Even the Aero8 uses an ash frame
