Peter Morgan. What a fabulously plummy accent and pleasingly modulated voice. His voice sounds like the cars look :) Could have made a living in radio broadcast.
That wheelbarrow chassis is STILL the basis of the modern models. Love the way he say to (paraphrase) " we were happy building them with three wheels, but struggled a bit with the idea of having 4 wheels" LOL!
Visited the factory in 76 and returned to Aus with a Plus4 which replaced the 65 4/4 I had sold. Now an ageing V12 E Type driver on theGold Coast. Loved the Morgan and the factory..
Just watched the 'Troubleshooter' documentary from 1990 when they had a 12 year waiting list. So they were doing ok in the 70's. Good to see that today they are still going and have sorted their marketing problems.
Morgan is the type of car brand who’ll give Doug DeMuro a heart attack when they invite him to check through their quirks and cool features of their factory
In the 1970s the relationship between your income and the cost of buying one was balanced.......but today the cost of even the base level car is way ahead of average income . I remember having a heated discussion with Derrick Day and Peter Morgan over quality issues on my new Morgan I won in the end !

This is probably the only British car factory that didn't suffer work stoppage due to a strike during the 1970s...
This must've been around the time Soichiro Honda said that someday there'd only be four or five automakers in the world, "plus Morgan, of course."
"in the future there would be just half a dozen car companies - and Morgan"
We have a 1965 4/4 and we love it!
In the background we see an engineer wheeling in the very early Morgan 1 wheeler due for restoration.
One wheeler ??? = )
Blimey Shaw that was some quick firing questions to Derrick in sales.
I like the bloke with the wheelbarrow in the background at the start of the video
Did he fall down a hole?

Quintessentially British right?! I like it too!
Yes, just as the presenter mentions the word sophistication...

A wonderful video- I loved watching every minute.

Yes... he would love the drive, laugh hysterically and then thrash it with a poor Doug score.
@@richardjames1431 He's a major one, indeed. Cannot stand that bloody git, and it's bad enough he's a fellow Yank.
Doug DeMuro is pathetic - too much attention to interior, only general information about engine(s) and tells nothing about chassis and suspension.
Morgan is a type of car brand, Doug DeMoron retarded maggot fans are prohibited to talk about.
Plus 8 £3375. The equivalent modern Morgan at least £50k. And there children is a practical example of inflation!
I can remember watching Drive In with Shaw Taylor
Still going strong 2021 🤟
What happened to the English language??? These people speak the language in a way its a joy to listen them.
And the factory still looks very much the same today!
Except now they have shorter hair . Less hippys 🤣🤣
I notice that seen outside the front of the factory, several cars appear, all British.
At 0:47 you can see one of the 3 wheeled chassis being pushed into the coach work shop.
Hahahaha
This is really English, love it. Is it for real or a Monty Python sketch?
1975... and not a power tool in sight.
God bless Great Britain.
InfiniteMushroom it’s a car video.
I thought GOD has a fulltime task blessing the USA?
been there, that was definitely an experience,
That geezer is the spits of Dennis Waterman
They liked a wife beater vest in the Morgan factory back then.
Lol, thank goodness I understand what you mean, "wife beater" 😂 😂 😂. I'm English.
