Local legend has it that Henry ‘Harry’ Frederick Stanley Morgan – just known as HFS these days – built his first motor vehicle because he was tired from cycling over the Malvern Hills.
The facts are, I think, a little less romantic. The eventual founder of Morgan Motor Company had plenty of access to cars from the earliest years of the 20th century, when he ran a garage and hire car business in Malvern Link, but it is true that in 1908 he bought a twin-cylinder engine, constructed a single-seat three-wheeler around it and only later decided to put it into production.
