Recensione:
This is surely the best single book you can purchase for a guide to the Morgan models and history until 1992, The work is well organized, pleasantly written and beautifully illustrated. At the end, you wish there was more. There is much detail on different changes over the years, often presented within an anecdotal context. This is the first Morgan work to buy. Others stem from here. --Morgan Nut--Morgan Motor Compnay, the world's oldest family-owned car maker, celebrates its centenary this year. That's a remarkable feat, when one considers the present state of the global motor industry. Morganm however, have hit hard times, but dedication by the family means that today there is stilla wating list for Morgan models. Those interested in cars love or hate Morgans, but John Worral and Liz Turner in this book reveal why the cars are much sought after throughout the world, even in Russia. Their book tells the story of the 4/4 Plus Four and Plus Eight, all four-wheeled Morgans since 1936. The 4/4 is the world's longest-running production car and three years ago itself celebrated its 70th birthday. Why 4/4? It means four wheels and four engine cylinders, because the very firsat Morgans were three-wheelers with motorbike engines. The colourful and well presented book has lots of detail on the technical side and tips on checking the car's bodily weaknesses. Every facet of each model is covered, chassis, door design, dashboard, brakes, engines, body trim and every details, making it a bible for the restorer or simply the admirer of the marque. -- -- --Bolton News, March 2009

This book really deserves a revision of the type that Bill Piggott's Original Triumph TR recenently benefitted from (the original addition, which covered models from TR2 through TR6 was expanded into three volumes didicated to TR2/3/3A/3B/Italia, TR4/4A/Dove GTR4/5/250/6, and now TR7/8 as well). With a 35 year production history, the +8 certainly merits a volume of its own, as do the three-wheeled models. My personal interest would be in greater documentation of the evolution from the flat radiator cars to the now more-or-less current low line cars. By my count, +4 two seat roadsters were produced in seven defferent body styles (I include flat-rads factory converted to cowl-rad to reach this number). Owing, presumably, to space limitations, only one of these types is included in the selection of photographs (3 different cars). The variations in DHC bodywork over the years of production are similarly underrepresented. These limitations aside, I would recomend this book to anyone interested interested in Morgans. The photographs are beautifully done, and the text is the most readable of any of books in the 'Original' series which I have read --Octane magazine, April 2009
