WHEN it comes to representing Worcestershire, Morgan Motors is as iconic as Lea and Perrins Sauce and the Malvern Hills.
Founded over 100 years ago, Morgan has become iconic in its use of ash wood for the frames of its cars, including its flagship model, the SuperSport.
The sportscar brand has been popular with celebrities for decades, from legendary musicians to petrolheads and even royalty.
Here are some of the biggest names to drive a Morgan:
Richard Hammond
