I got this in an email the other day and thought some of you may enjoy it:
The Morgan Motor Company
"The Morgan Motor Company located in Britain doesn’t change in a changing world . Not only is it still independent , but it also makes each car by hand. A base model is about $44,000, with some cars costing up to $300,000. People wait for over a year to get their exclusive hand-built cars with the shell made out of metal and much of the vehicle made out of wood.
Working on the wood interior, workers use metal shears to individually shape a hood because each car has to be different. Every year Morgan produces about 600 cars . The company will celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2011. It has a long and interesting history , and is still run by the same family : the Morgans . Founded by Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan known as “ HFS ”, it was then run by his son Peter, and is now run by Charles, the son of Peter Morgan."
