Satisfying to know that this might be the only M3W with a Centa journal rotating surface that wouldn't make an oil seal manufacturer cringe. I'll post some more pics, especially of the fuel tank reinforcements, when I get a chance. Interesting comparison, having the two three wheelers side by side...

The Morgan is also much quieter at idle, with the G56 mufflers, and gets louder with right foot, but never as loud as the ACE. They're different in different ways but it's fun to be re-familiarized with the Morgan's traits and compare them. I'll have to eventually choose one, since having two three-wheelers is a bit silly, right?

I'm lucky to have such a tolerant wife, but she has said that I can't say no to a rea$onable offer. It's funny to think about what is in my garage now...
