Talk Morgan Forums Talk Morgan Members Section Special Information Question about full metal Morgan car models

Hello there,
I found an unusual full metal model of a classic Morgan in an antique shop in brighton. Size is about 20cm long, weight 1kg.
The only comparable model so far I have seen during a visit to the Morgan Motor Museum. See the other foto. Does anybody know, if these models are still available somewhere to buy. Who made them. Was this a small series of different models? In the pictures, the car is the same, but the driver sits in different positions. I'm curious if anyone knows about these models. I look forward to your information.

Taffmog will be along later ,he collects all models of Morgans

Actually, they are completely different.

I’ve got a book at home on Morgan collectibles

I’ll have a look tonight if it’s in there

The second model appears to be the scale model of the intended full size statue of HFS which never materialised.

It is Dave.
It's in front of the window into the recreated office of Peter Morgan, in MMC's museum. You can just see part of the owl to the right.
AFAIK there was only one like this.
Pretty certain there has been a photo of the one in the first photograph already on this forum?

Indeed, I shoot the 2. foto 4 years ago in front of the office in MMC Museum. I was there at the 100 year celebration of the factory.
I did not know that this is a model of an unrealized monument.
Maybe they had created several models in the brainstorming to decide on a final model.
That would explain why the model on picture 1 seems a bit unfinished. The window frame is still filled with material. There is still excess material under the car. Nowhere is a reference to a manufacturer engraved or pasted. That's usually the norm with every model car. That would explain why the model on picture 1 seems a bit unfinished.

That's usually the norm with every model car. The finish of the model seems identical in the details such as bonnet fastener, door hinge, lamps. Even rims and wheelangle are correct.
I suppose I found something relatively rare, not a mass product

I also have the first model which I found in a junk shop in Devon 3 years ago and I got for £20

No identifying marks on model..very nice details and polishes up beautifully.

PATINA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

READY FOR TOURING

TYPICAL MORGAN DRIVER !!!!

RACER

CARVED FROM ICE !!!!!

How did you manage to get into that car?

Those are big expansion joints on that road

From Michel Coumes book on Morgan Collectables

Yes, you got it. Thats the model. Thank you, for the foto.

I have three of the models previously shown here, the glass one I bought on Ebay for a tenner, the large green one was a present and has a label on the underside "Lesser & Pavey Ltd., DA1 1JQ". The middle one, the original one being asked about, was also a present but I've no idea where it came from, I'd always assumed it was from MMC but maybe not.

Come on TMers show us your models please !!!

Factory made ones

I think I recognise those!

Well, you asked for it KEVFITZ.
A couple of small models

Not sure these qualify as "models" as they're soap.

Not appropriate!

Can you move your post to the Soap Box forum please

As sharp as ever Stewart.

Funny Stewart !!!!

Like the soap models..do they do a narrow body version for those hard to clean crevices ?!!!

Well I guess if they were used they’d soon become narrow bodied

Here is a small sampling of mini Morgans that have turned up over the years....the others are still in boxes.

Keep it clean Kev

A Plus 4 Plus soap would slide into small crevices quite well.

That doesn’t sound quite right Dave
