The first Morgan with four wheels, launched in 1936: the name means four wheels and four cylinders. It kept its separate chassis, sliding-pillar front suspension and ash-framed body through decades of changing engines, and stayed in production, with breaks, into the late 2010s. It is often called the longest-running production car in the world.
