Interesting construction on the Morgan Car - wood and aluminum (aka aluminium)

Very nice, thanks!

I've been lucky enough to see one up close and personal as friends acquired their second one last year. Gorgeous car. I didn't know the history at all so thanks for sharing the video.

It's so heartwarming to know that somewhere cars are designed, hand built, and made with beauty in mind!
Such a beautiful craft. Thanks for posting this.

Morgans are fun to drive. A friend owns a post war one. Bought it as a GI in GB, shipped it home, and still has it.

Love to own one. The idea of craftsmanship is lost is so many places. Look at the majority of RVs. Cheaply made, poor quality veneer, 1/8 inch ply
Everywhere. Made on assembly line with labor that is there purely for a a paycheck.

Nothing wrong with paycheck jobs. I admit I have one of those too. But places like Morgan, campinn, and airstream don't even compare to their mass produces counterparts. Unfortunately you PAY for that quality too.
