Morgan to end production of models with steel ladder frame platform

Morgan will cease manufacturing models based on its traditional steel ladder frame chassis, which dates back to 1936. This decision sees the imminent demise of the 4/4, Plus 4 and V6 Roadster, although no firm end date has been set for the 84-year old platform. The automaker claims it will be the long-lived chassis "a fitting send off", but has yet to provide any details. Reports indicate the company is planning at least one special edition model based on an outgoing vehicle.
