The Morgan Motor Company was founded by H.F.S. Morgan in 1908-1909. From the start, Morgan built three-wheeled automobiles and continued to do so until 1951.

A typical Morgan three-wheeler had two front steering wheels, one rear drive wheel and the plumbing for engine cooling sitting in the cars' nose in front of the radiator grill.

Morgan did not produce their first four-wheeled vehicle, the 4/4, until 1936.
