In 1969, at the height of his powers and with "Sympathy for the Devil" filling dancefloors, Mick Jagger drove with girlfriend Marianne Faithfull to a London court to face the latest in a series of drug charges in a lemon yellow Morgan Plus 8 sports car.
The star's arrival at the court was captured by hordes of photographers and splashed around the world as an example of quintessential British cool.
Jagger may have displayed impressive longevity in his career, but his ride has also stood the test of time.
Morgan Motors is Britain's oldest independent car manufacturer, and since Henry Frederick Morgan's first three-wheeler rolled out of its Malvern factory in 1909, the signature wooden frames have stood for the best of British tradition from the racetracks of Le Mans to the fashion capitals of Europe.
Morgan has never changed its formula. Each car is hand-made at every stage, from fabricating the hood to stitching the upholstery, consulting the buyer at every step. The personnel also maintain the legacy, as this has always been a family firm -- despite the recent, bruising departure of former director Charles Morgan.
