The four-seater Morgan F-4 was introduced in 1933 at the Olympia Motor Cycle Show. The two-seat F-2 was introduced in 1935, and the F Super, which had a more sporting performance and image with its cycle-type wings and louvred bonnet tops, in 1937. During the models' lifetime, Morgan's production of 4-wheeled cars was ramping up and 3-wheeler production reducing until 1952 when the last 3-wheeler, a Ford-engined "F"-Super, was built. The company then focused exclusively on 4-wheeled designs until 2012, when the Morgan 3 Wheeler was introduced.
