The years the timeline missed

The Fiat and Rover engines, the Plus 8’s gearboxes, the galvanised chassis: changes the History sheet does not record, taken from Mark Braunstein’s chart.

5dates in 1969–1999

That is all the History sheet holds for those years. Mark Braunstein’s chart adds 17 more, and they are in the full timeline below.

Where the chart prints a date it is shown as written. Where it does not, the year is read from the item’s place on the chart and shown as “c.” — checked against the dates it does print, that reading holds to about a year. Braunstein chart, v94

Where this comes from

The dates in the full timeline come from the Registry’s History sheet unless tagged otherwise. Everything tagged, and everything in the sections above on the missing years, Le Mans and dating a Morgan, comes from these.

  1. Braunstein chart, v94

    Mark Braunstein, “The Morgan — First and Last of the Real Sports Cars”, a model timeline chart, version 94, 18 October 2020. Compiled from the Illustrated Morgan Buyer’s Guide (Ken Hill, 1989), The Cars & The Factory (John Tipler, 1993), Original Morgan (John Worrall & Liz Turner, 1992) and Morgan 3 Wheeler: The Complete Story (Peter Miller), with contributions from Morgan historians and enthusiasts, eMOG, Talk Morgan and the Morgan Motor Company.

    Not an official Morgan Motor Company publication; its author notes it may contain errors, and that new technology reached some cars of a model year before others. Where the chart gives no date, the year shown here is read from the item’s position on the chart and marked “c.”.
