L Bouillon H.F.S. Morgan created and guided the destiny of the Morgan car for almost 50 years. He equipped his first three-wheeler, the Runabout, with a 7-hp, twin-cylinder Peugeot engine and mounted it into a light, three-wheeled tubular chassis. This first design was successful due to its rigid frame, light weight, and independent front suspension. Another important factor was the excellent power-to-weight ratio that enabled this little vehicle to accelerate as fast as any car being produced at that time. The Morgan name made its first public appearance at the Olympia Motor Show in 1910. This 1980s reproduction poster depicts the "cyclecar" and is painted by the French artist L. Bouillion.
