Ralph Lauren sold his first ties from his vintage Morgan

In spite of their traditional design, Morgans have always had sporting or ‘sports car’ performance, due to their extremely low weight. Among their enthusiasts, Morgans are affectionately known as “Moggies”. H.F.S. Morgan’s 1909 Runabout used an independent front suspension system with each front wheel mounted on a kingpin mounted to slide along a fixed pillar and located by a spring. Morgan used developments of this suspension system throughout its existence and it is still used on Morgan’s “classic” line, although not on the Aero 8 or its derivatives.
