What is the MHR (Morgan Historic Register)

What is the Morgan Historic Register ?

The Morgan Historic Register – "Keeping alive the Interest in older Morgans"

What is the Morgan Historic Register and why did we start it ? Firstly it’s a Register of older cars and the principle is that once committed the car will stay on the Register regardless of any future change of ownership. The vehicle details themselves are what is important and we are gathering them before they become too fragmented and possibly lost. Bringing them together begins to provide an overall picture, a jigsaw if you like, of the various models, their condition and modification, and their whereabouts around the world, it is not being done for any commercial purpose or personal gain. As the Register grows more and more detail emerges about the surviving cars and it is envisaged that this information will become an increasingly important historical archive, particularly to new owners or someone carrying out historical research of the marque. At the very least, something is better than nothing.

Secondly and a spin-off from the Register itself is the opportunity for the owners of older Morgans to get together with like-minded enthusiasts to share their experiences, knowledge or just their enjoyment of these wonderful motor cars. The MHR is run by a volunteer ‘Team’ and two or three times a year they arrange an informal opportunity for owners to bring their Morgans together, these gatherings are often loosely affiliated to another more general Morgan event. In many ways these are as important as the Register itself !

The Morgan Historic Register is for any Morgan that left the Morgan Motor Company with a carburettor(s) fitted, or any Morgan over 40 years old (on a rolling basis). If you own such a car and would like it to be entered onto the Register please contact the Registrar (details below). At present there are almost 1,000 cars registered (summer 2020).

Machiel Kalf is the founder and Team Leader and it is due to him that the MHR exists, he can be contacted via a PM (Private Message) on this forum board or see the MSCC Miscellany magazine for details.

Ron Fermont is the Registrar, and is at the heart of the MHR and does all the hard work building and maintaining the actual Register. Send him an Email and he will contact you for the necessary car details,contact him via a PM (Private Message) on this forum board or see the MSCC Miscellany magazine for details.

Me ? I’m Andy Downes and I help Machiel with the running of the MHR contact me via a PM (Private Message) on this forum board or see the MSCC Miscellany magazine for details.

Brilliant idea, thank you Andy, Machiel and Ron for providing a forum where owners of older cars can compare notes, ideas and experiences.
