I like it when a manufacturer sends someone that isn’t afraid to try to keep up with Jay or have some charisma - it makes it more fun for everyone. Well done, Morgan.

[@DiabloandaDP]

That guy has a great personality for sure.

[@Redmenace96]

I liked him, too. He should have talked more.

[@joelawson5329]

Not some out of touch old suit trying to push numbers 😂

[@JacobWillits]

I wish indian would build somethinh like this. They got the motorcycle engines. Polaris owns indian they build that 3 wheeler. A morgan competetor in a higher class of course. Chrome plating nit really a polaris slingshot style but the chrome is an indian thing 😂

[@phildolan1861]

I grew up with my parents, two sisters and grandma. I had my own bedroom, my sisters shared a bedroom, and my grandma had her own bedroom. And I was so upset and jealous that my sisters had each other to hang out with at bedtime that I would "sneak" into my grandma's bedroom every night and stay up WAY too late with my grandma watching TV, drinking soda, and eating junkfood. My grandma had three daughters and I was the only boy in two generations. I'd hang out in her room and we'd first watch MASH or Coach, and then I would fall asleep watching Jay Leno every night. She had such a crush on you, Mr. Leno (you won't read this, I bet). But if you do, you are part of the best memories of my life. Thank you, sir. (Also, I was a mechanic for 18 years before becoming a truck driver...haha)

Hats off to Morgan for sending someone who knows so much like Jonathan. Never get tired of Jay's stories no matter how many times I hear them...37 mph Mr. Leno. 😆

[@neilhaas2947]

Concerning the rear storage..... "you can bring and extra shoe". Too funny! One of the best episodes yet....these two have so much fun together. Please...more like this Jay!

[@crashbox7130]

I'm 8 miles from the Morgan factory in Malvern Link. There's a local Morgan 3-wheeler club that meets in Ombersley, 6 miles in the opposite direction, every month. Even though I don't own a Morgan, I own a 1932 Morris Minor Two-Seater, they 'tolerate' me joining them on the Fruiterers Arms pub car park 😂

[@gordonmackenzie4512]

I was behind a group of 5 Caterham 7s going through Inverness today. They took off at speed heading for the quiet side of Loch Ness. Somebody must have told them about the empty twisty roads in that direction.

This guy Morgan sent matches the personality of the car. He is hugely British, totally odd, and 100% delightful.

[@scottimusgarrett15]

I have an unreasonable love for these "motorcars". I would totally daily drive one of these wearing old-school leather goggles, and I live in the Northwest Coast! I'm afraid I like the older models...I feel they have more charm, but the new one is still pretty damn cool. Thanks to Johnathan for bringing this by for us to see, and thanks to Jay and the Crew for another fun episode! ,✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

[@fishhuntadventure]

BUILD ONE! :) Seriously, build something you want over the course of a year. Or just buy one

[@joejustice9467]

A friend and I had the good fortune to visit the factory in Dec. 1979. The smell of wood in the factory was wonderful. The engines lined up,included Buick/Olds V8's on one side and 4 cyl. on the other side. I remember the old gentleman who meet us and gave us a tour was great,old employee I'm sure. I still have a few letters from Mr. Morgan from 78-79 explaining the wait time for a new Morgan was 2 years. A Morgan sure beat a EV.

[@skyedog24]

We are so lucky that Johnny Carson or whoever it was that picked Jay Leno to be on The Tonight show did so Jay Leno is the car man. This was his true calling and this will be his legacy to the world.

[@ScottH-kx1dm]

A true gem of a person.

[@petesmitt]

NBC picked Leno; Carson wanted Letterman.

[@danielbuckner2167]

I didn't like Leno then. I didn't think he was funny.... now I think his grandpa humor suits him well and can NOT have anything but respect for a man so willing to share the fruits of his wealth with those of us that could never afford such rare beauties as he keeps as well as his vast and deep knowledge of classic cars that only a true enthusiast would have. The very way he collects not just a vehicle but the history of the previous owners speaks volumes about his humility. I may not have thought he was funny but I'm sure glad that he was given that job to make the money he has spent pursuing a love of automobiles we all share. The man is likely far too busy playing in the shop but I hope someone tells him thank you for the millionth time anyway!

[@mcgusto82]

@@petesmittLettermsn always seem too intellectual to me. Like he felt above others. His comedy always reflected that. Leno was easy going. Glad he got the tonight show.

[@bluesky9093]

Nice review, I truly appreciate the variety of vehicles Jay brings to his channel. No silly drag races, stunts or some giddy guy dancing around the car announcing - Look at what I just bought. Just an honest car review by people who know what they are talking about. I would love to see Jay’s channel and Harry’s Garage collaborate on a review.

[@oteliogarcia1562]

Time for Jay to prove his love for British motors by finally featuring an Ariel Square Four. Come on Jay, you can do it.

[@aumkar2]

Wishing for more bikes! Definitely Square Four is in order given his love for Edward Turner! The Daimler Dart and the Bonnie for example.

[@oteliogarcia1562]

Two Edward Turner twins geared together? Linear power delivery, the most "motor"-like motorcycle engine? Uneven air cooling? Picture perfect exhaust pipes? What more do you, I mean Jay, needs for an interesting subject?

[@ldnwholesale8552]

Naah, he owns Vincents and Broughs.

[@buffalobilly6046]

He featured many many many British cars and motorcycles over the years. It’s not his fault you haven’t been watching or paying attention.

[@stephenbarker5162]

If Jay had an Austin Allegro that would kill his love for British cars.

[@alanmorgan8647]

What a great guest! It's so much better when the representative from the car company is a technical guy, rather than somebody from the marketing dept. who knows all the sales patter, but who Jay has to subtly try to correct about anything mechanical on their own car!

[@camillo1234]

i honestly much prefer the 2012 design, much classier. this one seems neither here or there to me but HUGE CONGRATS to Morgan for being so bold. this is awesome as are all other morgans!!!! the only car company that excites me, try one for yourself

[@mousearebec]

Nice conversatoin between the two of them, you are just smiling the whole time you are watching this.

[@charlesodle8595]

I love when Jay ask a mechanics question like so how do you put air in the tire lol. Such a genuine car guy

[@mcgusto82]

I really like how the Morgan rep makes no excuses for the car. He’s like a master jujitsu fighter. Its “weaknesses” are its strengths. Love it.

[@workingguy6666]

So I looked up Morgan's site to see what four-wheelers they were offering now. Jay, Please, Please, PLEASE get a "Midsummer" car to review. I'm flabbergasted that Morgan come out with such a good looking design!

[@3wheelmannc860]

The 3 wheel pot hole analogy is pure 100% fact.

[@bobschenkel7921]

So glad they found a place to put some wood, the floor storage cover. Must have helped that "where does the wood go" meeting go faster. LOL.

At least it's no longer a bulkhead! Even so, as a bit of a Luddite, I do have an appreciation for a bit of wood in a motorcar...✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

The Morgan dealership in San Francisco was run by a guy named Bill. The shop was anything but luxurious it was at the end of a shed (pier) that is 85 to 90% a fish company’s and it smells like it too. The original small Morgan sign is still hanging on the cyclone fence that doubles as the front wall, the sign has some handwritten words added to it as a memorial to Bill.

[@williambarry8015]

If you get the chance take a picture of that sign and post on google images.

I've loved the Super 3 ever since I saw previews a year ago. That thing is really tugging at my bank account. It also doesn't help to see it the exact color combo I want. Dang. I can live in a tent, right?

[@yardleypen]

My first car was a Morgan F-Type (small Ford engined) 3 wheeler - I had a race with a hearse on the way back from buying it - the hearse won! The men inside with top hats removed were willing me to over-take them through the glass but the Moggy just wouldn't do it. Later I fitted an aquaplane aluminium cylinder head and an SU carb. In England you could drive a 3 wheeler at 16 rather than 17 for a 4-wheeler in those days and they were cheaper to tax and insure.

[@philp7012]

I'd love to see more bikes on the channel. I know they don't do as well with views but I'd love to hear Jay's thoughts on a modern entry level sports bike. As cool as this car is I think a bike would be better for an overall experience, price and serviceability.

Great to listen to Jay on a Monday. It is a shame the Morgan looks an odd shape, I hope they make a slimmer version. I think Jonathan should also do his own KZbin channel, he’s an interesting chap to listen to.

[@crusherbmx]

3 wheelers are big right now, I see them all the time....I guess after 100 years it finally caught on....so why wouldn't Morgan, the original, make a modern one, it still looks better than the new trikes, I like that they kept the narrow tires.

[@EleanorPeterson]

The Morgan 3-wheeler's about 68" wide, and handles beautifully. I've driven a friend's on autotests, rallies, and a few hillclimb courses, and it's an absolute hoot [🦉] to throw round corners. So it's hard to understand why the proposed Aptera 3-wheeler [electric vehicle] currently in development is a monstrous 88" wide.😲

[@sixpotshot]

The car is G O R G E O U S and if space and cost weren't not issues I would have one tomorrow. Pretty special car.

[@highnoon116]

I owned the previous M3W model and never drove it without my goggles! The little windscreens won’t stop all debris hitting you in the face and I had some hits on my goggles that most likely saved my eyes. Just hang the goggles inside when you get back. Still like the previous model much better.

[@rjdavies1982]

Hi Jay - have you heard of Pembleton? They're a small family owned British car builder -they do a three wheeler like this but I prefer the T24 which has a wheel in each corner and just looks ace - please check it out

[@EddieSprouse]

I noticed you didn't show getting into the Morgan. I bet that takes some doing. I love that they still hand-build them. What a wonderful thing.

As a biker, I'm still a fan and capable of two wheeled motoring. Nonetheless, I cling to cherished memories of an MG Midget I once owned. Should I no longer be able to two wheel, this Morgan seems like a wonderful blend of motorcycles and British classic sports cars. Thumb up for that. To Morgan for creating a fabulous WTF is that vehicle, another thumb up. In short, two thumbs up Morgan! 👍👍

[@CraigSmith568]

I never have cared for three wheeled vehicles, but I love these Morgans. I agree that the older ones look better. Only thing I really don't care for is the headlights being so close together. Just a three wheeled bathtub. Looks like it would be a blast to drive.
