MORGAN
Peter Morgan's story of the car, presented and illustrated by Jan Kellett
This is a unique story about a much-loved car. The Morgan Motor Company was once one of the largest producers in Britain,
and has been owned and run by the Morgan family for three generations. This is the story of how it came about and managed to survive two
World Wars, umpteen recessions and the rigors of modern red tape. The story was told to me by Peter Morgan, son of the founder.
The book is available in two beautiful leather bindings. The CLUB BINDING and the DE LUXE COLLECTORS FINE BINDING.
200 copies, 175 pages, 5 hand colored and 8 black and white illustrations, 2 5/8 X 2 7/8 inches. The fronticepiece for each book is a Morgan
postage stamp from the Classic Car Series issued in October 1996. Foreword by Peter Morgan.
