Morgan’s 2009 Sales Record? 690 Cars Sold

Like Subaru, it seems British sports car manufacturer Morgan Cars had a record 2009 -- although its sales figure is slightly smaller.

The company managed to push out 690 cars in the course of 2009. Although that’s about 0.3 percent of what Subaru sold in the U.S., it’s also a considerable increase for Morgan, which continues to hand-build sports cars in Malvern, England (complete with wooden body frames). On average, the factory turns out around 400 cars annually.

Autocar reports sales may continue to be strong, as the company’s new SuperSports model -- essentially an Aeromax coupe with a removable roof panel -- was designed to be street legal in the U.S. The company expects to build 200 SuperSports, and approximately 740 cars in total.
