Factory figures show what Morgan built; owners add cars to the Registry.

Compare both records by year and model, then follow them into the cars owners have recorded.

10%of the factory total

About one car in ten the factory built is in the Registry. That is recorded coverage, not a survival rate.

Where this comes from

Factory figures come from the Registry’s production sheet. The model histories and the edition sizes above come from these.

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.”.
