Morgan 3 Wheeler official pictures

This is what Britain is all about

Oh to drive/ride/fly one in English country lanes!
Morgan - you are unique and more power to you.

Will Ginger buy it?!

Love it! Love it! Love it!

Stupidly impractical but probably the most fun to be had on four wheels, sorry make that that three wheels.

Don't tell me, the launch will be outside the Brandenburg Gate with a Spitfire flying overhead...

£30,000 and you only get 3 wheels!!!

Why?

Looks about as desirable as a broken bidet. Try as hard as I can I just cannot see the point of this hideous looking thing.

astonish

How can they justify £30K for this? you would have to have more money than sense to buy

Rock & Roll !

Trust me, ride in one of these and you'll understand what it's all about. Even the originals make a Westfield seem tame. Blast around the Malvern Hills with a hamper full of Pimms and salmon sandwiches on the back and you'll be back in 1945 with the sound of Spitfires in your ears. And just watch everyone stop laughing when it blows away a BMW M3 from the lights.

chocks away

Brilliant british engineering and design at its best ( shame not a british engine )
I wish I could afford one cause my cheque book would be out.
I wish Morgan all the best with this.

Morgan have to be admired

The adverse comments above have probably come from the 'same brigade' viz., people who want to be seen in exactly the clothes as everyone else wears.
Take away this concept, the Fiat500, the Mini, VW Sirocco and a few others and what do you have - the same stereo-typed whizzer purchased to simply impress the neighbours.
Where would we be without the pluck of companies such as Morgan. They offer individual cars and Oh. I wish I could afford one.

Clever, Clever Morgan...

As other European luxury and sports car manufacturers come to terms with having to produce small, efficient and ultimately, Green cars to offset their carbon footprint and swingeing European legislation, the silliest of which has to be Aston Martin's Toyota IQ based Cygnet, Morgan found the perfect answer sitting firmly in the past, and no doubt also in their museum.

What's more, they hardly have to change a thing, just bring it up to date. Oh how they must have laughed in that design office... :D

@ Auto Express

For crying out loud fellas, fix this website will you, it's got to be the buggiest website I've ever used... ^^

Torchy

Lovely but not faithfull to the origional no sliding pillar front suspention.

By Torchy on 2 March, 2011, 1:15pm

Glad they didn't...

...use sliding pillars. The idea is clearly a modern interpretation of Morgan's initial "philosophy", not a replica, so there are brakes that work, suspensions that don't remove fillings and a very efficient and clean motor. Sure as sure can be, if I had the spare cash to buy one and run it I would be on my way to the factory with my down payment right now. Can't trust the post for life's important moments!

Back Again... :)

The more I look at it, the more I want one...

I do hope Morgan are eye'ing up new, larger premises because I have a sneaky feeling they're onto a winner here and sales will go through the roof...

I do have one concern though, I wouldn't like to be hit by one of these as a pedestrian, that front mounted engine could do untold damage...

Wonderful!

I had a 1930 Aero with a V-twin JAP water-cooled motor out front. Two chain-drive gears - 'Swift', and 'A Dam Sight Faster', no reverse - you had to get out & do some shunting & lifting. Bought it for 15-quid from Ken Harness at Skegness Flying Club, sold it on eventually to an old schoolfriend for 15-quid! Then much later I got a 1951 Morgan Plus-4, I think it's Number 7 of the Plus-4's. Paid 65-quid for it in Caistor near Yarmouth, it was all in bits & had to load it on a trailer & take it home to Lincolnshire. Anyway, I put it all together & swapped the original Vanguard engine (shades of the Ferguson tractor!) for a TR-2 motor.....great, fantastic fun, and swift...but a bit un-keen on slowing-down & stopping! The brakes weren't all that good.
Still got that car, or rather - my son has that car, last one I saw for sale was ,000 that's US-dollars!
I've had a few interesting cars - a 1962 Ferrari 250 GT-E Pininfarina (there's one for sale at Bonhams now) was the top-speed fastest, an Armstrong Siddeley 'Star Sapphire' was certainly the grandest, the heaviest, and the comfiest......the QUICKEST to drive around our twisty Lincolnshire country roads though was a Lotus Elite Turbo I borrowed to try-out. The second-QUICKEST had to be the Plus-4!
On several occasions I spoke personally to Col Peter Morgan at the Malvern factory, with some query or another regarding specs for parts usually, and he knew EVERY PART in detail & could give the info right then!! What true Expertise!
And could you imagine getting the Chairman of BMW on the phone to discuss a gearbox-bolt? They're probably some sort of sub-moronic accountant anyway.
GOOD FOR YOU, MORGAN CAR COMPANY! I and just about everyone I know (at least, everyone I've spoken to) wish you Good Luck, and Total Success. May MORGAN CARS and their products LIVE FOR EVER!

Wonderful! ps

That one I saw for sale was in the U.S. and was 45,000 dollars - yes, forty-five-thousand bucks! And it was about 10 years ago!
Incidentally, I only got 4,500 quid when I sold the Ferrari. :(
