Created in recognition of the heyday of European barchetta designs, Midsummer \u2013 limited to just 50 examples \u2013 represents the shared vision of Morgan and Pininfarina, who have collaborated to reinterpret and celebrate the timeless Morgan silhouette. \u201cMidsummer is dedicated to enthusiastic individuals who will enjoy an unconventional, sensory, and analogue driving experience. By identifying and re-interpreting Morgan\u2019s admired ideals, Midsummer turns our legacy into a charming, sophisticated, and timeless aesthetic\u201d, said Massimo Fumarola, Chief Executive Officer, Morgan Motor Company.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Midsummer also introduces a shoulder line to the instantly recognisable side profile of a Morgan, made possible by the introduction of exposed wooden structures and required as one of the defining elements of a barchetta style.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
