Current design studies for the Morgan hybrid engine vehicle planned for 2011 left a great impression on the hearts and minds of every Morgan fan.
Carrera just, couldn’t miss out on joining the phalanx of felicitators at such a unique event! The Carrera Race Centre gave a whole host of Morgan enthusiasts a perfect, delightful chance to test drive the entire Carrera Morgan product range. Charles Morgan’s son, Xan Morgan, demonstrated that the Morgan family members are not just impressive car builders. Having set the best time of the day on the Carrera competition circuit he was delighted to be the recipient of a brand new Carrera Morgan set.
Carrera sends its very best regards!
