The Morgan Runabout
HAS been before the public for sixteen years, having been exhibited at Olympia in 1910, and during that time has proved its efficiency and reliability
in all the most important public trials. It has a great advantage, therefore, over untried and unsuccessful machines. It is designed to meet the needs
of those who require something cheaper and simpler than a car, but more comfortable than a motor cycle. To this end, particular attention has been
paid to the simplicity of construction, easy accessibility of all parts, lightness and strength. The price is fixed to suit the man of moderate means, but
quality has not been sacrificed to cheapness. Every part is standardized, and as an illustrated price list of parts is given with each machine, renewals
can be made cheaply and without delay.
Our intention in designing the MORGAN RUNABOUT has not been to copy in miniature the design of a car. Many so-called cycle-cars are small
cars with all the parts and necessary complications of a car; lightness and cheapness are obtained by diminishing the size of working parts: in other
words, their strength and durability. We claim for the MORGAN simplicity and strength, obtained by novel construction. That durability is not sacrificed
to lightness is proved by the reliability of our car in the most severe public tests, the good opinions of private owners, expressed in the most gratifying
terms, and the fact that many of our machines built sixteen years ago are running well to-day.
Our original design has proved so satisfactory that it has not been found necessary to change it, but during the sixteen years it has been on the road
it has been continually improved in detail. On this account depreciation is much less than in the case of most car.

A new and improved pattern, large valve, Side Valve, Air and Water Cooled 85x85 J.A.P. Engine, is now fitted as standard; other engines can be fitted to order.
The various models which we make are as follows: -
THE STANDARD. - A short wheel base model, this is a thoroughly sound proposition for those who require a reliable machine at the lowest possible price;
its working parts are exactly the same as those in our other models.
THE DE LUXE. - Has a chassis twelve inches longer, a larger and better finished body, with lower seating and more comfortable upholstery, is fitted. This
is our most popular model, and it can hold its own with any light car for comfort and appearance.
THE FAMILY. - Has been placed on the market to enable three children to be carried comfortably as well as the driver and passenger; the front seat is
adjustable, and all seats are covered with the hood. This model has been on the market for six years, and we can guarantee it will give the greatest satisfaction.
A total weight of 40 stone can be carried.
AERO AND GRAND PRIX. - These are sporting models, and are well known to be the fastest passenger outfits obtainable at anything near their price. An
O.H.V. Blackburne Engine, which has been specially designed for us, can be fitted to these models, it has extra large spindles and bearings, and develops over
40 B.H.P. Similar Engines have exceeded a speed of 104 m.p.h. on Brooklands, and have won many awards in speed trials, and hill climbs.
The Lucas Self-starter can be fitted to our Standard, De Luxe and Family models; it gives every satisfaction and costs £12 extra.
We reserve the right to alter the specification of any model, also the price, at any time.
