The company sold a majority stake to Italian firm Investindustrial, ending more than 100 years in the sole ownership of the Morgan family.

Investindustrial has also backed big names such as Warwickshire-based car maker Aston Martin and motorbike brand Ducati.

Speaking at the time of the 2019 acquisition Andrea Bonomi, chairman of Investindustrial’s industrial advisory board, said: “We have followed the company and seen its progress for some time and see significant potential for Morgan to develop internationally while retaining its hand-built heritage which is at the heart of the Morgan Motor Company.”
