Ever since around 2012 when I first got into the Morgan world, I think I must have seen every type of film or video that features a Morgan
Every week or so I search Youtube for recent videos that have Morgan car content in some form and occationally one pops up from the past that I haven't seen before but it's a rarety.
I also think I've seen just about every advert (Ralph Lauren Polo comes to mind), every Hollywood and foreign feature film that features a Morgan. I even sat through all of 'Our Man in Rio', just to see Jean Paul Belmondo's red 4 seater.
When I was watching a few of the Supersport launch videos on Tuesday, I got to thinking which one of the many films or videos would I take to a desert island to replay in my head to give me that Morgan feeling and smile.
And it's this one.
A clear winner
I remember seeing this when I bought my second pair of Dents driving gloves from their website back in about 2017 when there was a link to the film and I think I remember posting a link to it here at the time.
The imagery and feel has stuck with me. I dont know who the filmmaker Justin Barrow is or if he's done anything else or even if he is on TM, being a Morgan owner or ex-owner. ( I hope maybe someone might know)
I consider this a mini masterpiece. The soundtrack and the last vista reminds me of 'Paris Texas' (my favourite all time film), 'Three Billboards..' and the landscape and moody sky reminds me of a painting my parents had at home when I was a child.
The contrast between the close wrap of the cockpit and the dark enclosed garage shed with the burst of the open panoramic landscape and freedom of the car travelling on the road is just beautiful
When the boys face is replaced by the older face in the mirror it still gives me goosebumps (in a nice way)
What would be your one favourite Morgan video/film and why?
Oh nearly forgot, here is the link the film:
