Small-scale British sports car manufacturer Morgan will celebrate its centenary next year with a number of planned events, such as hill runs and concerts, to be held during July and August. The company was founded in 1909 by H.F.S. Morgan, and for 97 years of its existence it has been run by at least one member of the Morgan family.
The companys inaugural car, which went on sale in 1909, featured just three wheels so that it could be classified as a motorcycle and avoid Britains tax on cars. In 1913 Morgan started racing the vehicle and managed to win several titles as well as build a reputation for creating the fastest three-wheelers in the business.
