MORGAN RANGE (1992 – TO DATE)摩根程(1992欧元Â"至今)
Morgan is a car company like no other.摩根汽车公司是不一样的. With a long and illustrious history dating back to 1906 and encompassing all manner of three and four wheeled vehicles, there?s a lot to cover in a brief used model guide.具有悠久历史可追溯到1906年,杰出、三、四名,涵盖各种轮式车辆?收盘大量用来支付在简短示范指导. Therefore we shall limit ourselves to the models produced since 1992 which still leaves four key product lines in the 4/4, the Plus Four, the Plus Eight and the astonishing Aero8.因此我们应局限于1992年以来所制作的模型,仍有四大生产线400/4<加四、加等八个aero8惊人. Buyers who choose Morgan cars tend to cherish their prized possessions and used vehicles are usually scrupulously maintained and generally fairly low mileage.买家倾向于选择摩根珍惜珍贵遗物车旧车通常较低,一般保持谨慎哩. Naturally, you may have to pay for the privilege but you?ll be in good company.当然,你可能要付出的特权,而是你?当地有良好的公司.

HISTORY历史
The reason we?ve chosen 1992 as a kick off point was because it was a fairly pivotal year in the history of the Morgan Motor Company.因为我们?选择1992年作为一个虚拟启动点,是因为它是一个相当关键的一年,在历史的摩根汽车公司. A number of engine changes were made as Morgan re-evaluated its supplier chain.发动机作了一些变动,因为摩根重新评估其供应链. The 4/4 model?s 1.6-litre Ford EFI unit was replaced by a far superior 1.8-litre Ford Zeta powerplant while the Plus Four?s Rover 2.0-litre M16 engine was replaced with the more modern T16 unit.400/四名模式?收盘1.6升电喷福特队换了远胜一点八公升福特ζ电厂虽然加4?收盘孚2.0升发动机,取而代之的M16更现代t16股. The company was still recovering from the savaging it had received at the hands of industrialist Sir John Harvey-Jones in his ?Troubleshooter?公司还从收到的savaging在手中实业家爵士情怀-琼斯在他?排障? TV series.电视片. His conclusions were at odds with the Morgan family?s strident views on how the business should be run, his key contention being the fact that long waiting lists (for which Morgan was famous) were the antithesis of modern customer service.他的结论是截然不同的摩根家族?火辣辣的看法如何应办业务,其主要论点是事实轮候(其中摩根闻名)是现代客户服务对立面. Somewhat perversely, the programme had the effect of attracting hundreds of new orders as viewers were lulled by the obvious loving craftsmanship on display.有点固执,该方案的效果,吸引了数百名观众为新订单明显被蒙蔽的爱好手工作品.
1996 saw Morgan re-enter competitive motorsport with some success.摩根1996年重新进入竞争驾驶一些成效. Charles Morgan and dealer Bill Wykeham competed in a specially modified Plus Eight in the international BPR race series that metamorphosed into the more familiar FIA GT series the subsequent year.查尔斯摩根法案wykeham比赛和经销商一部专另加八个系列,在国际竞赛流程再造变质成较熟悉燃气轮机系列汽车联合会年以后. Lessons learned from the racing programme were directly applied to road car production and in 1997 the Plus Eight gained new aluminium superform wings, longer doors, a redesigned fascia that included facility for airbags and, most importantly, the introduction of the 4.6-litre V8 version.教训赛车方案直接应用于生产,97路车取得了八个新加铝superform翅膀,更长门、筋膜,重新设计了包括气袋装置,以及最重要引进四点六升V8的版本.
With production output standing at a heady eleven cars a week in early 1999, the yearly output of the factory had not been greater since pre war days.站在同一个振奋人心产量11一周车1999年初工厂每年的产值更没有自战前天. The Geneva Show of the 29th February 2000, however, marked the most significant development in the company?s recent history.日内瓦展示了2000年2月29日,不过,最重要的发展,标志着公司?收盘近代史. This was the world debut of the all-new Morgan Aero 8, an all aluminium car that featured a mighty BMW 4.4-litre V8 and controversial styling.这是世界首演的全新航空摩根八日全铝制汽车要点威武宝马4.4-公升V8的造型和争议. Amid a rash of ?Guten Morgan?激躁?强筋摩根? headlines, motoring writers were rendered dizzy by a car that boasted what a senior BMW engineer described as "the finest non-BMW chassis ever to use a BMW engine."标题作家驾驶者提供了一辆汽车,吹嘘什么头晕资深工程师宝马称为"优秀非宝马使用宝马引擎底盘以往"
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
If you?re anything like me, you tend to classify cars by the kind of people who drive them.如果你?再什么喜欢我,你倾向于把样车的驾驶人. So it is that I imagine a Morgan owner as a straight-backed, rather bluff sort of cove.所以,我想象摩根作为所有者直背,那种钝而砍. He?s highly opinionated, probably smokes a pipe, has a natty moustache and doesn?t suffer fools gladly.他?刚愎自用的高度,大概一烟斗烟,已展现了胡子,不惜?笔受苦阿斗愉快. Nevertheless, as Rowan Atkinson once put it, "if one had to choose a bloke with whom to be holed up in a trench under heavy enemy fire, no-one could be better than a Morgan owner."然而,一旦把它作为阿特金森rowan,"如果有一个人选择小子龟缩在战壕将敌火力猛烈,没有人能比一个拥有摩根."
Get the picture?了解事实? An uncompromising car for the kind of person that laughs at power steering, electric windows and all the modern conveniences of 21st century motoring.强硬车样的人,笑助力转向、电动窗、21世纪的一切现代便利驾驶. A good chap to have in your corner - as long as you don?t have to put up with his war stories, endless reminiscences and tobacco smoke for very long.你有一个好章角只要你鲍思?笔他要忍受战争故事、无休止的回忆和烟草烟雾太久.
There are basically three Morgan lines, 4/4, Plus 8 and the flagship Aero 8.基本上有三线摩根4/4,加上8旗舰航空8. The 4/4 offers a few variants all powered by the same 1.8-litre engine.400/四名提供一切变异数相同,装有1.8公升引擎. The Plus Eight is a hoarier beast and is available as a two-seater roadster only, having been in continuous production since 1969.八是加了野兽,可作为hoarier两个座位的跑车,自1969年以来已连续生产. Called Aero 8 as a homage to the three-wheeled racing model introduced in 1919, the newcomer is based around an advanced bonded and riveted aluminium chassis.8一个叫航空祭三轮赛车模型介绍1919年新人是以先进的保税和铆接铝制底盘. The aerodynamic bodywork?s aluminium too, honed apparently in a wind tunnel for a 40% reduction in drag over the existing Plus 8.气动车体?铝收盘也显然,在订定为风洞阻力降低40%以上,加上现有的8. Other aerodynamic benefits include a flat undertray to improve the airflow beneath the car and a venturi to reduce potential lift at the rear.其他福利包括气动undertray单位改善气流下沉的汽车、电梯丘减少潜在的后方.
Inside, the Aero 8 is claimed to be the most luxurious Morgan ever.内,航空8摩根自称是有史以来最豪华的. All the glass areas (front and rear, plus electrically operated side windows) are heated using invisible heating elements to give clear vision and rapid all-round demisting and defrosting.所有的玻璃区(前方和后方,加上电动车窗)用加热加热元件给无形清晰、快速全方位除雾除霜. Air conditioning is available, though unbelievably, you have to pay extra for this and your choice of stereo.空调刊物,虽然难以置信,你必须为此付出额外的立体声和你选择.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
It?s virtually impossible to pin a value on any used Morgan car.?收盘几乎不可能对任何使用密码值摩根车. Condition and mileage is a good deal more important than its chronological age although some editions such as the Plus Eight Anniversary or the Le Mans ?62 are worth a good premium.里程是一个好的条件和交易大于岁数虽然有些版本例如八周年还是勒芒加?62辆,价值好保费. As a ballpark figure, expect to pay around £17,000 for a 1992 Morgan 4/4, £21,000 for a 1997 Plus Four, £32,000 for a 1999 Plus Eight and £53,000 for an 01 Aero 8.作为一个看球的数字,预计1992年为1.7万英镑左右付摩根4月/41997年4加为21,000英镑,1999年为3.2万英镑,另加53000英镑的01年8、航空8.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Given that ash frames are still used for construction of traditional Morgan models there?s an inspection process to undertake quite unlike any other car.鉴于灰框仍使用传统建筑摩根型号?收盘检查过程进行相当有别于其他车. While you don?t have to have the car fumigated for deathwatch beetle, it?s worth checking the wooden rocker below each door and the sill board beneath it.而你戴上?笔都对这辆车熏蒸临终关怀甲虫,?收盘值低于每门考核木制摇杆和坎城底下. Open the doors and press your fingers firmly into the cabin?s side padding to feel for soft rockers and loose tack pins in the threshold strip.记者打开车门,你的手指牢牢入机舱?收盘轧方感到软钉别针摇臂和松散的门槛地带. Post 1986 cars are better in this respect than early models due to the fact that most of the wooden parts were treated with Cuprinol wood preservative.邮政车1986年在这方面比早期型号更是因为大多数的木制部分患者cuprinol木材防腐剂. Other improvements in the build process introduced in 1986 included wings that were sprayed and then attached to the car.其他改进包括1986年推出的建设过程中机翼喷洒,然后贴在车内. Prior to this the wings were attached and then spray painted in situ.在此之前的翅膀,然后被装喷淋画原位. When the body flexed, hey presto, the paint cracked and rust was a problem behind the wing panel.当身体弯曲,嘿似的,破获了油漆和锈翼小组是一个问题的背后.
Engines and gearboxes tend to be tough tried and tested units although it may require an expert to assess the suspension and steering.发动机和变速箱往往是强硬久经考验单位虽然仍需经过专家评估、督导暂停. The key problem that many Morgan cars suffer is underuse.关键的问题是,许多受害underuse摩根车. This can lead to problems such as brake calipers seizing, sticky shocks and dampers, perished tyres and rubber hoses and gaskets drying and deteriorating.这可能导致的问题,例如刹车卡尺侵占、粘震动阻尼,轮胎橡胶软管、垫圈、灭亡干燥和退化. When offered a low mileage Morgan, take a good look at these parts and go for a long test drive (50 miles plus) accompanied by the vendor.当摩根里程优惠低、仔细看看这些部件和走了很长试驾(50英里另加)陪同卖主.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
Parts prices vary wildly and any specific comments here are soon out of date.各地价格差别正在这里任何具体意见和疯狂很快过时. Seeing as many parts are hand built and hand finished to fit in the factory, off the shelf parts sometimes need a degree of customisation.看到很多地方都建手拈成品适应的厂房里序幕部分有时需要某种程度的货架改装. The factory can still furnish owners with parts from new although some of the older and rare engines can be an issue.该厂还向业主提供从零部件虽然有些旧,新引擎可难得一个问题. That said, a good deal of chassis parts, hoods and ancillaries are on offer from both the factory and Morgan appointed agents up and down the country.尽管如此,不少底盘零件头套及附属工厂是从投标和摩根委任代理人忽下的国家. With the enthusiast nature of the cars, it?s unsurprising that there are a number of websites devoted to the joys of Morgan ownership and this vast network of like-minded souls around the globe can normally turn up the most obscure part or tip.同性质的爱好者车?收盘并不令人有一批专门网站的乐趣摩根这个庞大网络的所有权和志同道合的心灵世界,通常可挖到最奇特的部分或冰山.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
It?s impossible to drive a Morgan without realising just what it was that encouraged the early pioneers to build their sportscars in the first place.?收盘无法落地摩根之外,到底是鼓励他们sportscars先民建设摆在首位. Behind the wheel, you?re open to the elements - and not only the sun or the rain; each pothole is an adventure.后面的车轮,你呢?重新开放的要件,而不是唯一的太阳还是下雨;每个坑洞是一种冒险.
Every ripple, bump and groove in the roadway demands a corrective response from the driver.每涟漪,颠簸、石槽巷道要求纠正司机的反应. Every change of direction involves such a heave of the huge steering wheel that you feel more like you?re at the helm of a naval gunboat than a sportscar.这种变化涉及每个方向的巨鼓方向盘更喜欢你,你觉得呢?在重新主政海军炮艇比跑车. It doesn?t sound an attractive prospect (and in the wet it certainly wouldn?t be) but with the roof down and the sun shining, take it from me, it?s addictive.它没有?笔具吸引力的前景良好(当然,在潮湿wouldn?笔会),但屋顶下,阳光照耀,取之于我,它?收盘上瘾.
The 4.6-litre Plus Eight storms to sixty in just over 5 seconds courtesy of the same 4.0-litre V8 engine that powered the old Range Rover.四点六公升加八个风波仅用60秒500双人同4.0公升V8发动机,功率旧有漫游. You don?t worry about that in the Plus Eight ?您鲍思?笔担忧,在加上八名? where of course, you?re paying significantly less.那里当然,你呢?再付少很多. Thrust back and forth through the rather recalcitrant five-speed gearbox that?s fitted to this model and you?ll find that this powerplant has astonishing flexibility.推力来回通过顽抗而五速变速箱?这种模式的安装与你?这一惊人发现,当地有电厂的灵活性. Morgan indeed claim it to be one of the world?s fastest production cars from 80-120kph in 5th gear.摩根声称它的确是世界?收盘最快生产轿车80-120kph参加第五届齿轮. Finally, there?s also the flagship Aero 8 model, powered by a 32-valve 4.4-litre BMW V8 developing 286bhp: good enough to take this car to 160mph and from rest to sixty in 4.9s.最后,还有吗?八月收盘也旗舰航空模型动力的32气门4.4-宝马公升286bhpV8的发展:够借此为160mph轿车和39826360年至4.9s.
OVERALL 总体
Morgan ownership needs to be entered into with a long-term commitment, the cars not being the same as mass-produced sportsters.摩根所有权须签订长期承诺,车不一样批量生产sportsters. Bear this in mind and be prepared for a certain amount of character and you should form a long lasting relationship.牢记这一点,并准备了一定的性格和你要形成一个长期的关系. Despite the addition of the awesome Aero 8 to the range, for most Morgan ownership still means the classic Plus 8 model and it?s a car that demands respect.尽管添加震憾8航空射击场大部分仍是经典加上摩根所有制模式和八月?收盘车子需求. If you feel that modern sports cars lack a little communication and personality try a used Morgan ?如果你觉得有点缺乏现代体育汽车通信和个性尝试用一种摩根? any model will do.任何模式都行. They want for neither.他们想为犯规.
