Peter Morgan (automaker)

Peter Henry Geoffrey Morgan (November 3, 1919 - October 20, 2003) was an English sports car manufacturer and Chairman of Morgan Motor Company (MMC) from 1959 until his death in 2003. Peter inherited the Malvern, Worcestershire-based company from his father H.F.S. Morgan. He maintained the family firm's traditions of hand-crafted workmanship and slow organic growth, in spite of pressures to "modernize". His son Charles became MMC's managing director.
