True craftsmen

[68sportsatelliteragtop]

The Morgan Motor Company located in Britain doesn’t change in a
changing world. Not only is it still independent, but it also makes
each car by hand. A base model is about $44,000, with some cars
costing up to $300,000. People wait for over a year to get their
exclusive hand-built cars with the shell made out of metal and much
of the vehicle made out of wood. Working on the wood interior,
workers use metal shears to individually shape a hood because each
car has to be different.

Every year Morgan produces about 600 cars. The company will
celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2011. It has a long and
interesting history, and is still run by the same family: the Morgans.
Founded by Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan known as “HFS”, it was
then run by his son Peter, and is now run by Charles, the son of
Peter Morgan

Thats something to see! True craftsman they are, That would be something to walk thru the place and see how each part of the build in progress is worked on.. I imagine its safe to say it takes a tremendous amount of concentration to do this type of work.. even though they do it for a living.. Thanks for sharing...

Part of what's wrong with this country is that 1) we CAN and 2) we are NOT.
