Morgan factory tour

[Steve Blackdog]

I spent a very happy couple of hours today on the Morgan cars factory tour.

The body frames are still made from ash. A fine display of English craftsmanship. They have a jig for everything.

I will try get some photos off my phone.

Thoroughly recommend this to anyone - £10 a head - phone in advance.

Never knew you could do a tour - that's just gone on my list of stuff to do. Would be great to see some pics if you can do that.

Much obliged.

Not proper craftsmen then - according to some ;-)

I'm having trouble getting my photos off the phone, but as a taster, here's a link to someone else's photo of the ash frames waiting to have their aluminium bodies fitted (i.e. beaten by hand):
