Morgan Roadster 100

The Morgan Centenary Roadster 100‍From time to time a very special Morgan Car is produced to commemorate a Landmark Event. The Centenary of the Morgan Motor Company in 2009 being such an event, has probably no comparison.

It was sometime during 2009 that a group of Morgan Dealers led, we believe, by Melvyn Rutter and possibly with Phil Ledgerwood, convinced Charles Morgan that a Special Edition of the Series 2 Morgan Roadster be produced to celebrate the Morgan Company Centenary in that year.

​
Originally all of the cars were to be Right Hand Drive but that seemed to change as European orders were taken.

It was decided to utilise what eventually became known as 'The Centenary Trim Pack' as the minimum specification for every car in this edition.

This is the Centenary Trim Pack which was included as standard:

1. A Matching Green Mohair Easy Up Soft Top,
2. A Matching Green Tonneau  Hood Cover,
(Spare Wheel Cover and Side Screen Bags were offered as optional extras).
3. Stainless Steel Wire Wheels with Morgan Spinners.
4. A Motolita Wood Rim Steering Wheel.
5. A Burr Walnut Dashboard.
6. Reclining Sports Seats with Perforated Leather.
7. Stainless Steel Chassis Cover with Morgan Badges
8. The Morgan Centenary Car Badge on the Dashboard
9. The Edition Number Plate on the Firewall.‍10. The Body Colour of Mercedes Amazon Green, a metallic paint, was chosen as the editions only Colour available
11. The Interior Trim Leather Colour chosen was Biscuit. A second option of Black was the only leather colour variable.
12. Contrast Green Piping was an option for the interior leatherwork.

13. The Styling included Traditional Over Riders, but some Owners chose to change these to Bumper Bars.

The other visual difference on some of the early production are the addition of Wing Lamps. The Car above, which is Number 012, has no Wing Lamps. We know that No.s' 001 to 006 have them.
