Another New Morgan
Discussion
"a time of global conservation with a drive towards improved fuel economy the Morgan Motor Company introduces a new concept for a sporting family, the Morgan EvaGT. The four seater Coupe takes its inspiration from the British sports saloons of the early 1950’s. Among these were the Bristol 400 series and the Frazer Nash BMW 328. After the Second World War rationing forced designers to conserve and make the most of the materials at their disposal. However the pressure cooker of war had also led to an abundance of innovative engineering ideas. Steel was scarce so lightweight aluminium was used for bodywork. Smooth “in-line” straight six cylinder engines were fitted to give long distance comfort and reliability. Because the engineers had often worked on aircraft development during the war aerodynamics contributed to high but economical cruising speeds.
The Morgan Motor Company is the last survivor of these British sports car manufacturers."
Bristol are still going strong.

As are Ginetta. 'Very' strong.
They have even bought out another sports car company.
'Last' survivor indeed!
Bet Lotus wouldn't be too happy to read that either, even if it does have foreign owners.
Anyhow, could someone switch the lights on
so we can have a proper look at this 'eva'? That's gotta have a female connotation.Edited by dandarez on Tuesday 29th June 01:01
