Morgan 4-4 Series 1 1936-1950

4-4 Series 1


What is your favourite car of all time?


Morgan 4-4 Series 1 1936-1950


Called the 4-4, standing for four wheels, four cylinders, Morgan announced their first four-wheeler in "The Light Car and Cyclecar" in 1935. The prototype was based on the Morgan F-type chassis and powered by a Ford 993cc side valve engine, although production models would be fitted with the more powerful and sporty 34bhp Coventry Climax 1122cc engine and later the 39bhp Standard "Special" engine, retrospectively known as the Series I.

Three Wheeled Morgan 1912-1952

The Morgan three-wheeler arrived on the scene in 1912, before the cyclecar craze that hit its peak in the 1920s, and it outlasted every other make of cyclecar, for the last Morgan three-wheeler was built in 1952. It owed its longevity not only to ingenious design, which enabled it to combine low weight with high performance but also to the business acumen of HFS Morgan. The F4 model was introduced in 1933 and featured the car-derived Ford 8HP four-cylinder engine.

Ferrari 365 GTC 1968, 1969, 1970

Ferrari 365 GTC


What is your favourite car of all time?


Ferrari 365 GTC 1968, 1969, 1970


Essentially a revised short chassis 330 GTC fitted with the 320bhp 4.4-litre version of the single overhead camshaft engine, which added little to performance but made for more relaxed driving due to improved torque. Like the 330 it was smooth rather than exciting and was one of the first signs that Ferrari could make useable road cars, for the fine performance and superb handling were allied to comfort and new levels of build quality. Always overshadowed by the much quicker Daytona, the 365 GTC was intended to be sophisticated and elegant rather than exciting. Only 20 examples of the convertible 365 GTS were produced.
