Watch Detour’s Magical Malvern to Midnight Sun Road Trip

Road Trips

Jul 28

Detour’s drive from the Morgan factory to the Faroe Islands has been beautifully captured in this short film.

From an early start at Morgan’s home in Malvern, across six countries, and including a high-speed autobahn run, Detour founder Nik Berg and the Morgan crew reaches the tip of Denmark in just two days. They hop aboard the Smyril Line ferry and, having borrowed some old school paper maps from car photographer Stan Papior, plan a route that criss-crosses the islands, taking in its most picturesque locations.

Grass-roofed houses, majestic mountains, causeways, undersea tunnels and deep blue fjords form a stunning backdrop, while the island’s intoxicating roads are an opportunity to put the Morgan Supersport 400 to the test, driving all day and all night, as the sun never sets.
