Heh, I didn't realize there actually was one; Magneto was just the first one with a red and purple color scheme that I came up with.

I didn't either so I googled it and sure enough there it was.

When it is good, it is very very good.
But when it is bad, boom, Big Bada Boom.
One misfire in one cylinder will destroy a $30 or $40 thousand dollar motor.

Another Morgan from 2011...

[Carruthers]

Some years ago Sir John Harvey-Jones, former chairman of ICI, presented a TV series called 'Troubleshooter'.

In each episode he visited a firm which which was in need of a bit of advice to help it modernise or simply to survive.

The Morgan Car Co was the subject of one programme and I vividly remember him commenting that:

Their pride seems to be in manufacturing from the furthest-back state they can, and buying the most basic material.
I am surprised they don't start with the tree itself.

Sir John was an engaging sort with an infectious cackling laugh and a TV natural.



Ten years later he went back to a number of the firms to see how each was faring.

The Morgan segment starts at about ten minutes in.
