Top 5 British Roadsters w/ Morgan Designer Jon Wells
Morgan is a legendary company and for good reason. Yes, the cars are made of wood but the company has continued along while so many small companies have gone to rest.
Jon Wells has that job so many of us covet: car designer. With a very brief stop at TVR, Jon went right from university to the design department of Morgan, becoming part of the team that designed so of the best and fastest cars Morgan ever made. He also led the team that designed the new Super 3, the successor to the famous and unique Morgan 3-Wheeler. Jon explains his education, how the cars used to be designed before his time, the evolution of construction, how much wood is in the cars, why building a popular off-roader was such a surprise; and why the new Super 3 has a new engine.
Plus, we go around the table to list our Top 5 British roadsters of all time.
