Browsing everyone's favourite video hosting site I stumbled across this series of films, seemingly from the '50s, charting the early years of motor racing from the 1900s to the 1950s. There's some amazingly rare footage to be found in them!

You either accept a Morgan as you accept the Himalayas or you go on to more splendid things, say, butterfly collecting.  A Morgan merely is and that should be enough.

I bought the full set of these many years ago as video tapes, since transferred to the HD of my DVD player.
Great stuff
I also have another similar one called 'Supercharged- The Grand Prix Car 1924-1939'
which is well worth while watching
