At this point, we would like to put an old prejudice to rest. “Morgan builds cars on wooden frames,” is an exclamation often heard in one way or another as soon as a vehicle of the British sports car brand appears somewhere. But this assumption is wrong. Since 1936, Morgan has relied on a box-frame chassis made of rectangular steel profile tubes, which has only been adapted to new conditions in detail ever since. However, it is correct that ash wood substructures are used for various body parts such as the fenders. At the Geneva International Motor Show (GIMS) this year, the company presented a completely newly developed chassis made of glued and riveted aluminium components. The new Plus Six based on this chassis has enjoyed great popularity ever since. In the course of 2020, this so-called CX platform will now also serve as the basis for successor models of the Plus 4, 4\/4 and V6 Roadster models, which are currently still based on the old steel chassis.<\/p>\n\n\n
