Computing Trip to Morgan Motor Company
On Friday 30th June 2023, year 9 computer science students visited the Morgan Motor Company in Malvern, Worcestershire. Famous the world over for its unique blend of craft, heritage and pure driving experience, the Company has been manufacturing quintessentially British vehicles in Malvern, UK, for more than 110 years.
We were given an exciting factory tour across differing areas of the production line with the exception of the pre-delivery inspection area. Our tour guide informed us each Morgan car was hand crafted using three core elements: ash, aluminium and leather. There was a focus on Morgan and BMW engines and we discovered the purpose of turbos to help with fuel and combustion efficiency. We were then introduced to the differing types of wood used in the interior of the cars and were shown how the leather is intricately sewn together to create unique seats for the upholstery.
We noticed every car on the tour was entirely unique, built to the highest standards by passionate craftsmen and women, whose skills had been handed down through generations and perfected over a lifetime, bringing together heritage, innovation and cutting-edge technology.
It was also a real bonus to be invited into the historical showroom to see many pictures of Morgan vehicles throughout history.
