Does the Morgan count as a cyclecar?Gzuckier 18:09, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- The first ones did. They were designed to avoid a British tax on 4-wheelers by being classed as motorcycles. Trekphiler 08:01, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
Among their buffs, they're affectionately known as Moggies. Legend has it Plus 8s have no seats (just an upholstered floor), the suspension is made of rock, and drivers can tell which side of a coin is up by driving over it. All Morgan owners know these things to be true (even if nobody else belives it). Trekphiler 08:01, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Morgan import into the US
Morgan's web site lists official dealers in the US, so clearly Morgan imports to the US must have restarted - anyone know when? —Morven 18:17, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
- I'll look at the autoweek article again. Gzuckier 18:29, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Moggie stardom?
While I agree with the "Stop the presses! (Or at least slow them down.)" crowd, I have to question including Moggie appearances in movies. Unless they are central or iconic (such as the Stang's chase scene in "Bullitt", say), take it out. Or are we to include every film, TV, & literature reference? In which case, should I mention Fast Green Car (which I think mentioned a Plus 4 Plus hardtop...)? Trekphiler 07:51, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] History, please?
So, when was the first four-wheel Morgan made? The last three-wheel Morgan? When was the failed Plus 4 Plus made? Why is there only one paragraph on the history of Morgans before the Plus 8? This article needs some serious beef! Respectfully, SamBlob 13:36, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Troubleshooter
Should there be a mention of the BBC2 TV series Troubleshooter where the "expert" John Harvey-Jones gave advice to the company? --jmb 09:33, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
