This isn't the first vintage Morgan to feature on oldclassiccar, as a photograph of a JAP-engined 3 wheeler Morgan was added not so long ago. I'm hoping that a Morgan expert will stumble across this page at some point, and be able to help identify the car shown here. I've found references to a Morgan Runabout from the earliest days of this Malvern-based firm, but this looks to me like a sporting version - possibly the Morgan Grand Prix, from the mid 1920s. A look on this Morgan site shows scans of a brochure from 1926, and the Grand Prix shown there looks very similar, a type that found favour with drivers at the Brooklands motor racing circuit in the pre-war years.
The second Morgan photo to feature on this page is from my own collection of images. It shows a smartly dressed lady, well wrapped up for a winter's day, stood alongside a sporting Morgan just as the snow is beginning to fall. Again this looks to me like a Morgan Grand Prix?
