First Morgan to feature unibody construction, with superformed aluminum body in place of timber framework.
Donuts are easier with only one wheel. Morgan Super 3 goes on sale in US later this year.
It’s raining. Of course it is. This is the English summer, where the weather punishes both wary and unwary alike. Choosing to drive a car with no roof or any other form of weather protection has goaded fate into delivering a soaking. Yet even this doesn’t do much to dampen my enthusiasm for what must be high in the running to be the most charismatic new vehicle on the planet.
Note “vehicle,” not “car,” because the Morgan Super 3 isn’t a conventional automobile. The odd number of wheels makes it a motorized tricycle, and puts it into a legal hinterland between motorcycle and car. Up front there is a steering wheel, control pedals, and a gear shifter, but in back is a single driven wheel. The world’s legislators are divided. In Europe the Super 3 will be treated as a car, wearing its headlamps outboard as you see in these images of the factory demonstrator. In the US it will need to wear the lights in the center, as if it is an oversized motorcycle.
No extant automaker has a longer tradition of three-wheelers than Morgan. The British company built its first, the Runabout, as long ago as 1910. It featured an 8-hp V-twin engine and tiller steering which look like a motorized bathchair. Steering wheels arrived soon after and, in the period before World War II, Morgan’s tricycles became very popular in the UK, some owners racing them or even setting speed records.
Not suggesting I want one but, it did catch my attention. I have to suggest that it should have a flat 6 in it.
