Original Morgan By John Worrall
This is surely the best single book you can purchase for a guide to the Morgan models and history until 1992, The work is well organized, pleasantly written and beautifully illustrated. At the end, you wish there was more. There is much detail on different changes over the years, often presented within an anecdotal context.

This is the first Morgan work to buy. Others stem from here.

Great source, but deserves new edition
Great source for information with abundant color photographs. This book really deserves a revision of the type that Bill Piggott's Original Triumph TR recenently benefitted from (the original addition, which covered models from TR2 through TR6 was expanded into three volumes didicated to TR2/3/3A/3B/Italia, TR4/4A/Dove GTR4/5/250/6, and now TR7/8 as well). With a 35 year production history, the +8 certainly merits a volume of its own, as do the three-wheeled models. My personal interest would be in greater documentation of the evolution from the flat radiator cars to the now more-or-less current low line cars. By my count, +4 two seat roadsters were produced in seven defferent body styles (I include flat-rads factory converted to cowl-rad to reach this number). Owing, presumably, to space limitations, only one of these types is included in the selection of photographs (3 different cars). The variations in DHC bodywork over the years of production are similarly underrepresented. These limitations aside, I would recomend this book to anyone interested interested in Morgans. The photographs are beautifully done, and the text is the most readable of any of books in the "Original" series which I have read. Other recomendations: MORGAN: THE LAST SURVIVOR by Chris Harvey, and Ken Hill's COMPLETELY MORGAN trilogy (both out of print).
