THE NEW MORGAN 3-WHEELER

'When Morgan unveiled its new 3-wheeler at Geneva early this year, the crowd really did go mad. Here was a car with character and charm, speed and excitement. And it promised fun, that so-often missing ingredient in the world of modern machinery.' – Octane Magazine.

One of the more unlikely re-introductions in an age obsessed with all things 'retro', the 3-wheeler revived the format pioneered by company founder H F S Morgan, whose first motorized tricycle had appeared in 1910. On this occasion though, the inspiration came from across the Atlantic, where the American company Liberty Motors was building a copy of the original Morgan 3-wheeler: the Ace Cycle Car. Morgan executives tried the Ace and were sufficiently impressed to buy out Liberty, thereby shortening the development time required to get their own version into production.

Morgan restyled the body along more traditional lines and redesigned the chassis (which would continue to be made by Liberty), abandoning the marque's characteristic sliding-pillar front suspension in favor of a modern coil-sprung double wishbone arrangement. They also chose to use an American-built S&S V-twin engine rather than the Ace's Harley-Davidson unit. Developed specifically for the Morgan 3-wheeler, the S&S 'X-Wedge' engine displaces 1,983cc and delivers its 115bhp maximum via a Mazda five-speed gearbox. With a kerb weight of around 500kg, the 3-wheeler has more than enough performance for most people, being capable of racing to 60mph in 4.5 seconds on its way to a top speed of around 125mph.


THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This spectacular example of the retro-inspired 3-wheeler Morgan was manufactured largely by hand in February of 2014 and is the 19th of just 50 Brooklands Edition models made, commemorating the company's success at the legendary track nearly a century ago. The 3-wheeler remains in spectacular condition with little signs of use. The polished aluminum bodywork is accented by black cycle fenders up front, and the black-trimmed cockpit is fitted with Aero-inspired instrumentation and a Bluemel's Brooklands steering wheel. Less than 1,000 miles were recorded on the odometer at the time of cataloging, and the rare Morgan is offered from its original owner's sizable collection where it has been well cared for and regularly driven.
