What Is A Stage 1 Morgan 3 Wheeler Like?

[@sammooresphoto]

3 pedals and 3 wheels, one of the funnest cars i've driven in a while!

[@CarDaddy24]

How does that fun compare to your F-40?

[@edtechlounge]

An English person using the amended superlative ‘funnest’ deserves a kick in the balls.

[@Katsandoval-p8d]

OMG that looks so fun!! I have seen 3 wheelers here in U.S..But this one sounds great and looks better.So vintage and classy!

[@Rincypoopoo]

i bought mine in Germany last month. Drove it to my home in Southern Spain in four and a half days. 2627 Km of pure joy. This car is wonderful. It is great on the motorway 120km cruse is very nice. The seats are very comfortable indeed. In truth I have never been less stiff and sore after eight hours on the road. Back home I have put another 2000 plus Kms on it . Mountain roads are awesome. Very exciting driven hard, pure relaxation cruising back from the beach on a hot July night. I have the luggage rack fitted so I can do my usual food shop and get all on board.... with a passenger. You are on parade and doing theater all the time. People wave, cheer, shout, take photos and videos. If you park next to a Lambo the crowd builds but they only have eyes for the Morgan. You get to chat with so many strangers, you make new friends. The M3W is a brilliant, practical and fun little car. I love it so much. Standard question. "what happens when it rains?" Answer "You get wet"

[@Gazza3501]

The fact that you a continuously laughing every time you accelerate sums up the experience, GREAT!

[@xena340]

This little thing sounds like a 200cc kart!!! It has the kind of rawness of a kart and the elegance from the leather. Love that!

[@snoopy7647]

Those looks at 9:14 & 10:10 minute marks, realizing all of the fun with the factory loaned toy, may soon end badly... All of the noise and running through the gears, as you wind around the turns (twisties), is what it is all about! It is very apparent, you really enjoyed that day! I will be checking into one of these, soon! I will either try and find a "still new" Morgan 3 Wheeler or the latest version, the Morgan Super 3!

[@marzsit9833]

@@bertiewooster3326 yes, but they are supposed to be introducing a new and improved model for 2022. keep in mind that the one that they have been building since 2012 was not designed by morgan, it was actually designed several years earlier in seattle, washington in the usa by a company called liberty motors and was marketed as the ace cyclecar in the form of a kit car that had to be assembled by the purchaser. charles morgan, the grandson of hfs morgan who founded the company heard about the ace cyclecar, visited seattle and negotiated a deal to purchase the rights to the ace cyclecar so morgan could manufacture it in the uk in a more authentic way (the ace cyclecar was fiberglass with a harley-davidson engine and a ford transmission and was designed for assembly at home with minimal tools). in 2013 charles morgan was forced out of the company for unknown reasons, but morgan continued to make the 3-wheeler anyway. it will be interesting to see what the replacement model is like, hopefully they will keep the original v-twin engine layout and not switch to an inline engine like the morgan f-series which was a pretty mediocre and poor-handling pile of crap....

[@Gixie-R]

My Granddad had a Original and it was a huge smile maker when we were little kids. His sat in the garage for decades and then he gave it to a builder who was putting a new roof on the garage. I was heart broken. Wasnt as loud as that thing but it was exhilarating to travel in.

[@sammooresphoto]

What a great memory to have!

[@Gixie-R]

@@sammooresphoto I can remember the squealing tyres on those skinny rims, His had the drums up front, The whole front end was a master piece, He did have troubles with the rear wheel adjusters and that was what garaged it. He wasnt a mechanic unfortunately But that might be why i am. lol

[@adoreslaurel]

When you think about, Morgan is actually the most successful vehicle builder in the world, when was the last time an economic slump ever affected Morgan, as a business model, it is bulletproof. Had to laugh when some American car exec tried to tell them that if they put in all the most up to date mechanized equipment that they could sell a million cars, Yeah, and go broke in the process, Boutique is beautiful.

[@PatrickKelly-lz3pv]

If a Morgan is classed as a motorbike if i pass my test using a Morgan does that qualify me for a full motorbike licence.

[@marzsit9833]

it depends on the local law. in my state in the us a 3-wheeler requires a different endorsement than a 2-wheeled vehicle and there are no motorcycle-only licenses. everybody starts out with a normal car driver's license which allows you to legally drive any car or truck with 2 axles up to 26,000lbs, then you take additional tests to get endorsements for additional vehicle classes. for vehicles with more than 2 axles or heavier than 26,000lbs you need a cdl (commercial driver's license) which is costly and not easy to obtain, and there are several classes of cdl with class-a being the most difficult and expensive one, especially with flammable/hazardous and explosive cargo endorsements added to it.
