The Midsummer is a superb showcase of the collaboration between Morgan and Pininfarina. It also hints at future designs for the traditional British car maker.
Every once in a while a car comes along that makes you stop and stare, taking it all in like a piece of art. A car that makes you feel something, not in how it drives, but simply how it looks. The Morgan Midsummer is just such a car.
A new Morgan is a rare thing in itself. The heritage of the Super 3 and the design of the Plus Four and Plus Six go back decades. But the barchetta-style Midsummer isn’t purely a Morgan design, because for the first time in the British marque’s 115 year history, it has collaborated with an external design house, Pininfarina.
Morgan recently created a video about one of its customers, a chap called Spencer Bentley who shared his story of owning one of these hand-built creations. He spoke of how every drive is an experience, it creates memories and stories. Well the Midsummer is a car with story and thats before each of the 50 that will be built even reaches a customer.
