Runabout

The Morgan prototype, completed in 1909, was a single-seater fitted with tiller steering. It also incorporated H.F.S. Morgan's special sliding pillar independent front suspension. With the addition of refinements like rebound springs and shock absorbers, this form of front suspension is still used on modern Morgan four-wheelers. The whole car was very light and was powered by a 7-horsepower Peugeot motorcycle engine. This prototype has been lovingly recreated by Chris Booth, a member of the Three Wheeler Club and the owner of over twenty Morgans. It took Booth three years to build the car, using many original parts and an original engine.
