ABOUT 120 Morgan cars of all vintages assembled at Malvern College on Sunday as part of the company's centenary celebrations.

The event was greeted by glorious weather, and a warm sun shone down upon the the ranks of gleaming sports cars as they lined up on the college's green lawns.

It was in the engineering workshop at the college that the company's founder, Henry Morgan, created the prototype for the first Morgan three-wheeler.

Working closely with him was the school's engineering master William Stephenson-Peach, grandson of the rail pioneer George Stephenson.

Charles Morgan unveiled a plaque at the site of the workshop, now the college's medical centre.

Among the cars on show was a replica of the prototype three-wheeler created by Morgan enthusiast Chris Booth.

At the event, more than £500 was raised for Children In Need from the sale of raffle tickets, for which the top prize is a Morgan 4/4 Sport.
