Under the leadership of Charles Morgan, CEO and grandson of the founder of Morgan Motor Company, the Company has become a global brand, which offers a range of Classic, modern, and 3 wheel vehicles; all of which are hand built, offer class leading performance, and are Euro V compliant. In order to service the market the new company will focus solely on Morgan Motor vehicles. Malvern Morgan Cars Beijing Limited is the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce (AIC) approved name for the company, a Wholly Owned Foreign Enterprise held 100% by Morgan Cars Limited, a Hong Kong holding company. Founded by Managing Director Jim James, the Company will focus on the import, marketing, sales and service of the British marque and related merchandise opportunities in the luxury auto sector, as well as facilitating factory tours. Steve Morris, Operations Director of Morgan Motor Company Limited said, "China is a key market for Morgan Motor Company and we are delighted to have appointed Morgan Cars Limited in Beijing as part of our long term strategy to bring the Aero, Roadster, Eva GT and 3-Wheeler to China." Jim James said, “It is a privilege to represent the Morgan brand in China, and to enable customers to experience the unique driving pleasure of a hand built British sports car.” There will be a showroom in Beijing for a representative range of models, initially with the V8 Roadster, which was imported and successfully licensed tagged in Beijing in 2011. Morgan is targeting 1,500 deliveries worldwide in 2012 of which upto 50 are forecast to be ordered by Chinese customers. The new 3 Wheel model joins four-wheeled designs that include the 125,000 pound AeroMax, which has a 367 horsepower V8 engine and can reach 170 mph, and the “Classic” range of 1930s-styled roadsters including a newly launched Morgan+8 which offers classic styling with a modern BMW V8 powertrain.
