PEOPLE in Malvern were given a sneak preview of the first new Morgan motor car model since the war in 1950.

The new Morgan Plus Four was road tested in and around the town prior to being unveiled at the Motor Show.

Morgan's last new model had been the 4/4 in 1937, its first four wheeler.

The Plus Four retained the original 4/4 design but was powered by a modified Standard Vanguard engine, giving it a high performance which was expected to boost the cars export potential.
