Morgan 4/4:
The Morgan 4/4 is a British motor car which was produced by the Morgan Motor Company from 1936 to 2018. It was Morgan's first car with four wheels, the name indicating that the model has four wheels and four cylinders. Early publicity and advertising material variously referred to the model as "4/4", "4-4", "Four Four", and similar names, but from the outset the factory designation was always "4/4".

Engine capacity has increased from the 1,122 cc Coventry Climax engine in 1936 to a 1. 8-litre Ford engine in 2004.
