HFS Morgan, the founder of the Morgan Motor Company, was born on 11 August 1881.
To celebrate his birthday, we will hold a HFS Drive day for all members on 11 August this year. Using the words of Dorothea Mackellar, it will be “across a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains, of ragged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains”.
Whilst similar celebrations are held by other marques in recognition of their founders, we believe this will be a first for the Morgan fraternity worldwide.
- Dust off your Morgans and take them for a spin on the inaugural Australian run.
- Take a short run or longer one
- Gather some friends and go for a group run which would be terrific as well.
All we ask is that you take a photo of your car or group of cars while you out and about. Send it to the Editor of the Morgan Ear, Brian Tomalin, with a paragraph or two describing your run. If other people are in the photo, please add their names L to R in your short description.
The email address is editor@morganownersclub.org.au
Please name your photo file in the following way:
member name - morgan year model - locality of photo - state
Prizes of $100, $50, 2 x $25 Dan Murphy gift cards will be made at the discretion of the editor. (Correspondence will NOT be entered into).
Entrants must be a member of MOCA.
Entries will close 5.00PM, Friday, 29th August 2025
We hope this idea will catch-on with our international Morgan colleagues and become a worldwide event.
The event is included in the Calendar of Events in the Morgan Ear and here in the web events, to allow members on Conditional or Concessional Registration to participate. Your registration is encouraged.
