Road
and Track reported on 7th March that "after 110 years
of family ownership, Morgan is being purchased by an Italian
investment firm". For many classic car enthusiasts
this will be sad news and unexpected too.
It's been a busy time at Morgan over the last few years with
110th anniversary, a new platform (Morgan CX chassis), a new
Plus Six built on it and with a new drive train from BMW. But
then news the family owned will stop being family-owned in April
2019 as an Italian investment firm steps in as a major shareholder.
Sadly like its naturally aspirated V8s, Morgan's British ownership
is a thing of the past! |
