From railways, H. F. S. Morgan went over to cars, opening a business selling Wolseleys and Darracqs. Then, with his father’s help, he started a car manufacturing company, whose first vehicle was launched at the London Motor Show of 1910. It was disconcertingly simple (the outer tubes of the chassis were also the exhaust pipes), but it most striking feature was its front suspension. At £89 it was extraordinarily cheap.
The 1914 Cyclecar had a twin-cylinder air-cooled engine, with overhead valves operated with push-rods and rockers, magneto ignition, pressure lubrication, and cone clutch. The car’s 8 bhp was sufficient to give it a respectable speed. Drive was by chain to the rear wheels.
The ban on three-wheel vehicles at Brooklands put an almost complete stop to production of any Morgan racing models. In 1936 it was able to adapt, quickly changing to 4-wheelers powered by 4-cylinder Ford engines.
