The four-cylinder, four-wheeled Morgan has become a tradition. As time went on they became more powerful and faster, especially the later 4/4 and Plus 4 models. Engines were always bought-in so Morgan was able to keep abreast of the times. Body styling was more difficult, particularly where the GRP Plus four Plus was concerned of which only 26 were made. The only major change was from the flat radiator to a curved one in the early 1950s. This is a book of contemporary road tests, new model introductions, specification and technical data, development, competition and history. Models covered include: 4-4, Coventry Climax, Drop Head CoupT, Standard engine, Plus 4, Plus Four CoupT, TR2 engine, 10HP Series II, Plus 4 (TR3), Four-Seater, Series II 4/4 Competition, 4/4 Series III, Kieft 4/4, Lawrence-tune, 4/4(Ford Classic), 4/4 Series IV, Super Sport, Plus Four Plus, 4/4 Series V Competition.

In the summer of 1974, against the backdrop of the Lebanese Civil War, ceramics expert and Morgan sports car enthusiast John Carswell set off with his young family from their home in Beirut on an expedition across Asia and the Middle East. Their mode of transport was their beloved motor car, a Morgan 4/4 four seater, named 'Speedy'. Following in the steps of Ibn Battuta, their destination was the Maldives, where Carswell hoped to find evidence of the Chinese blue and white pottery which he was researching. The family travelled via Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, from where they sailed to Bombay (Mumbai). What followed was an extraordinary journey across the length of India to Sri Lanka and from there to the Maldives. Speedy Motor tells, with wit and sparkle, the trials and tribulations of one family car over several decades in the Middle East and latterly Europe. When the family were forced to flee Beirut during the Civil War, Speedy temporarily fell into the hands of Hizbollah but years later 'he' was reunited with his family in England. John Carswell's vivid account of a unique expedition and a much-loved car provides a vibrant portrait of a region in the grip of change.
