What Happened
Morgan Motor Company has unveiled the Midsummer Coupé, a landmark special commission limited to just nine units. The prototype, known internally as the artists’ proof, was revealed today and establishes the benchmark for the programme. The project started after a client approached Morgan following the 2024 Midsummer barchetta unveiling, leading to a fixed-head interpretation that required a new design language and structural architecture.
The design features a dramatic glazed canopy, forged 19-inch aluminium wheels, and extensive use of teak wood in the interior. The roof is bonded directly into the aluminium structure, contributing to vehicle rigidity while adding only 2.5% more weight than a Supersport with a hardtop. The body panels are hand-formed from flat aluminium sheet using traditional English wheel techniques and assembled with digital measurement systems.

Each of the nine client commissions will be highly bespoke, developed through close collaboration between Morgan’s design team and the owner. Beyond the shared body architecture, each vehicle will be materially distinct in colors, leathers, wood finishes, and bespoke details. The prototype will join the Louwman Collection in The Hague after its public debut.
Why this matters
The Midsummer Coupé demonstrates Morgan's evolving coachbuilding capability and its unique approach to creating deeply personal vehicles through close client collaboration, marking a milestone for the brand's special projects programme.
