To those who have already placed a 3W order, please make yourself known here (even if you've posted elsewhere). This will put our names in one place for reference, as a simple registry.

I suggest limiting editorial comments in this thread, in order to make it most useful for reference.

Details of my order: Placed 09 Apr 11 in California; Build date 50/11 (week/year); LHD/MPH; Must select colors/options by September – tending to Azure Blue or a warm gray non-metallic with either berry red or butter yellow leather; black trim; no decals.

Hi!

I placed my order 24/3 - 2011, builing date not yet confirmed.
Black trim, tan leather (probably).

Bespoken colour, favourites so far: silver metallic (like the silver arrows from the thirties), grey or why not the green from Geneva...

Shark tooth, steering wheel: Moto lita 4-spoke, riveted wood.

Tony Carlsson, Sweden

Well I placed my order a year or so ago but will have to delay delivery as I recover from buying my Aero SS

I was at the factory today picking my new car up and We saw the car running today and indeed one TM'er had a ride which I believe was caught on video and may well apperar on here later today

Order placed in early March in the UK. No build date but a suggestion of August from the dealer. Have not been asked to specifiy colours yet. Brochure arrived this week - very glossy but much the same as the website. Have not decided on colour but tending towards black trim not chrome.

Morgan 3Wheeler videos can be found here

Order placed and after todays ride out I have also placed an order to a new set of teeth.

Not new gonads as well Asbo?

Yeap it's going to get expensive

Order placed in Feb. Build date week 48 2011

Order placed at the same time as Boshers, build due soon!

Maybe a list is the answer:

Name / Ordered / Build Starts / Spec

1. Boshly / 12-months ago / postponed / Mansory
2. Aeroman / 12-months ago / Week 18 / TBA
3. Asbojohn / 6-months ago / Week 18 / TBA
4. Lance / Feb '11 / Week 48 / TBA
5. Salcombe / March '11 / Week TBA (Aug?)/ TBA
6. M3W / March '11 / Week TBA / Black trim, tan leather
7. StevenV / April '11 / Week 50 / TBA

Any more?

Welcome, Lance.

Aeroman – some of your finest work, thanks!

There does seem to be a variation on the build date from the order time - is this because of different booked slots with different dealers?

Also, I have heard that production may not start for several months due to on-going, regulatory and development issues. Any insight anyone?

Sorry MOG3w, omitted you from the growing list!

Cheers Aeroman, I just popped onto the scene less than 24hrs ago. But you can imagine it was hard to sleep last night!

BTW, in terms of livery I was totally reeled in by the vintage fighter look. It layers my boyhood vintage aviation obsession on top of the m3w which was big part of my young man vintage m/c obsession. It was like designers had direct knowledge of the circuits leading to my pleasure centers. One look and I was lost..

That maybe the case but they were in deep conversation with the man from the Ministry yesterday, but my guess from yesterday and the work going on at the factory is that this is unlikely.

It Morgan after all and a visit to the factory in a few weeks will reveal the position with the build. I don't know what the development issues are but having been around the block in it yesterday progress is good.

To AsboJohn

Thanks for the feedback - good to hear it may be on schedule

Philippo added!

AQM where are you???

I'm here, but I have decided to order through the dealer in Australia, so I don't know when it will actually arrive as they are "working on it", but he has promised me a 2012 delivery. They are boxing with the Australian Design Rules.

So the exact date is kind of blowing in the wind at the moment, hence me not responding to this thread (until now).

Good luck with your battle of the Australian design rules applied to cars.
I did battle to import a used 4 seater and had to abort the deal, because there was no way that it could comply to those rules for that specific year.
Maybe with a new car its different?
Australia has just relaxed the rules for the 4 seater's and seat belts, and Morgan Australia can now apparently import cars again of that type, after a 20 year ban.
Is your going to be a 4 seater?
cheers

AQM added

There has been discussions regarding if the new M3W are mainly bought by people already being Morgan owners or if it attracts "new comers". Could be interesting to add in the list.

M3W - first Morgan to come...

The threewheeler will be my first also.

10. AQM / April '11 / 2012 / TBA

Okay, updated my reservation.

Steve, we must have updated the list at the same time, now also AQM is right. The M3W seems to attract a lot of Morgan virgins...

Wondering why Morgan virgins are attracted? Lust at first sight??

^ Er, yeah. I would say so.

Sort of. For me, I've always wanted a threewheeler, but since I'm not that mechanical inclined, an old one would be a shame to export from the UK.

The threewheeler just seem to "fit" me: It's odd, retro (really retro uunlike the Fiat 500, Mini, etc.) and utterly impractical unless we compare it to a motorcycle.

If it hadn't been for the threewheeler I would probably have bought a "proper" fourwheeled Morgan, but on a longer horizon (okay, that was badly written, but I would have waited some more years).

The threewheeler seems like a fun thing to drive, fun thing to look at, both for the people driving it and for others.

Not that I don't like the fourwheelers. I do. Both the old-school ones and the various modern ones. It's just that the threewheeler seems such a good match to an idiot like me.



"I am the antipop, I'll run against the grain till the day I drop."

(Primus, The Antipop).

Nah, all that is just rationalisation. It's lust. No way around it.

Agree, Lust was the reason I bought my first Morgan 26 years ago and it is why I am buying this one!

First hope was delivery in time to take it down to 2012 classic 24 hrs du Mans. All booked, vmt Mr English. But I wonder if anyone else fancies campaigning them a bit next year? Any views?

Here's what the old hands were up to at Prescott the other week:

Can we please get an update on total orders received to date?

In short, no

The factory is closed this week for Easter holidays but I'm sure we can get an updated figure next week.

Oh to have the money for all the grown up toys.
I am hoping my premium bonds come up or the lottery.
I really would like one!

John: maybe we need an additional list which you can head?

Crap – I'm on the verge of getting bumped from the Top 10!

Order placed 15 of Mars 2011. Build slot Aug 2011.

Tim.

You are a very strange lot of Morganeers, very strange indeed.
Only you could order a car with out a roof, windscreen, and even wipers are omitted ?

OMG, heaven help the next generation, living in houses without roofs or walls,
Quote: "Well Dad had a car without a roof so why cant I"?

Getting wet is not dangerous. No need for windscreen wipers since you'll probably be looking over them. No need for fans to remove moisture to stop the windshield from fogging.
No need to have a roof except to protect against the sun, but a hat or a helmet will do just fine.

Let's see... when I think about all the things that the 3W doesn't have, it sounds more like a motorized skateboard on steroids... but no, wait... at least a skateboard comes with FOUR wheels!

Wouldn't that make a four wheeler Morgan more like said motorised skateboard?

Can we get an update on total factory orders received, please?

erm...

numog / Feb11 / tbd (Sep12) / sports grey (MIGHT change to BRG eventually), black leather (tan with BRG), no chrome BUT: H.-D. engine seems a MUST (hope they offer it til then)! / 2nd MOG

Orders being placed for the 3W have now slowed down, I guess people are waiting until they can physically see a car. I spoke to the Works this morning and production now officially scheduled to kick off at the start of June '11, but knowing Morgan it will be later than this IMHO.

Let's hope we get some cars whilst there is still some sunshine left this summer!

Would love to see the new plus 4 supersport steering wheel used in the trike!!

Note that I have removed my name from the list. After great deliberation, and with distress over the decision, I cancelled my order this week. Upon seeing the 3W in person, I'll reconsider whether it seems right for me. Meanwhile, it's been a great pleasure getting to know all of you, and thanks for the Morgan welcome!

Shame Steve but do stick around

Why is that Steven, care to elaborate????

Not much to elaborate – I am still enthusiastic, but want to see it up close, and be sure it's more than a costly whim.

Well Steven, Get yourself down to Waddesdon Manor Bucks on Sunday 15th (tomorrow), Support 'Help for Heroes' and see The New 'Morgan Trike' in the flesh. You never know, You may even be allowed to take a seat. With up to 250 Morgans on show, if that does not convince you to join this wonderful fraternity then nothing will.

Steven: most purchases of Morgan's are not done on a totally rational basis.

You either 'get it' or you don't, if there is a doubt you are better not taking the chance! Good luck with whatever you decide to buy instead...

On the first build, if you didn't like it, you could probably sell it for a premium, especially if the wait list begins to get long.

Lance

A Triking? better engine, nice build, no decals, free cabbage patch with every Factory visit!

On a more serious note, Brian has hit the nail on the head. If you AREN'T sure, then give it some more thought before making any definite commitment

regards,

G

Sorry to hear it Steve, but maybe you'll get pulled back in when you hear the v-twin go howling past, some time next year.

So anyone heard any fact to back up the rumours that Morgan has told the dealers there will be a delay in the Three Wheeler???

I have it on good authority that it is at least a month behind.

It's doubtful there'll be any customers cars delivered before August; I guess.

Hi everyone. I'm a newbie. I've been in touch with the Australian importer, nothing definite on the M3W coming downunder yet. As mentioned earlier design rule issues will be the make or break on it coming in. No pricing for OZ yet as far as I know. If it comes in around $60k i'm down for 2, 1 for me and 1 for my son. I have the 3 wheeler bug already as I have a 2cv Lomax 3 wheeler. Low on power but high on fun. 3 wheelers are an out and out hoot. When you guys start getting delivery it'll take 10 years off your age and your jaw will be saw from the ear to ear permanent grin. So put me down for 2 x TBA, spitfire green, RAF insigna and shark decal, black wheels. Morgan virgin.

Gentlemen!

Pleased to announce an order placed today for a 3W, simply based on a sit-in at Goodwood (BHW day) plus the latest vids and a desire to get it before I die now that I've celebrated my 50th birthday last week.

Pathetic, but exciting.

In the same form as before:

Cos Wisniewski / 8 July 2011 / No build date but possibly offered an early-ish date by BHM / Spec tba but not too glitzy / One Aero 8 S3 owned for 4 years and that's my first, so this'll be my second Mog

Can't wait.

I'm baaaaack. Reinstated my order today.

With or without order, you were always welcome.

However, it is great to hear you've put your order back live - no doubt you'll be thrilled when you get the chance to drive one.

Congrats! With the driving reports and photos that has appeared lately I just wondered how long you could force yourself not to activate your order

Has your earlier thoughts about spec/colour cleared during your absence?

I hope that I haven't missed anybody off the list, I thought that there would be a flood of new members after the FoS, but it seems that Wiscos is the only one - welcome to you; I hope that the 3W is additional to the Aero?

We knew that StevenV would recant, it was just a question of time!

Good question. I'm leaning toward a Sport exterior with a Bespoke interior. Definitely black/nickel trim with no decals. I very much like the wire headlamp guards, orange tires, and color combination of the Superdry edition. Of the Sport colors, the only non-contenders (for me) would be black and blue. I need to see more photos of the sand, red, and teal, since those colors have shown great apparent variation in the photos I've seen – they are impacted considerably by lighting, camera, and computer distortions. My first car was nearly identical to Morgan's sand color... had thought maybe to go that direction and dress it up with a medium red or dark brown interior. But they all look so good.

I've recently looked at Aero SS (Auto) and Hammond's old 'Max, but in the end my Aero 8 S3 is too good not to keep and I can add a M3W for a lot less than replacing the Aero 8.

Looking forward to trying to work out what to do colour-wise, and hoping to see more road tests and early versions to steer me in the right direction. Tend to be a bit conservative on colours (Aero 8 is Stingray Grey / Black interior) and expect the seats on the M3W will end up getting stood on quite a bit and getting wet too, so an easy colour like black with a reasonable contrast exterior is where I am right now. Might even go for the same colours on both so Stingray Grey if they'll do it without charging a bundle.

I'd had the same consideration about seat color – dark being more soil-forgiving to stand on. Some here have assured me that you won't need to stand on the seat to climb in, however. Here in coastal Southern California any dark leather color would quickly soak up the sun's heat year-round, and fry my Euro-bum in a nano-second. Might need to keep an official Morgan towel handy to sit on.

There's no need to stand on the seats!

did it
7th in .BE
hopefully after winter 2011*2012 in my garage

Having sat in two now myself and having watched many get in / out at Goodwood BHM day, there are many physical specimens who will find it very hard to get either in or out without using the seats as a step. This isn't a problem as such! But you may be disappointed if a passenger marks your bright yellow leather seats with muddy trainers...

I'm only 5'5" and steping on the seat getting in and out of a 3 wheeler is pretty much standard for these vehicles. Unless you've got a gymnastics background or in your teens you'll be doing it.

Many people have trouble getting into (don't know how too ) my 4/4 and scuff up the carpet in the footwells .

Entering the M3W would be very similar to entering/leaving a Caterham/Westfield/...... and I have never seen anyone who does not stand on the seat.

I always have trouble with the passenger side Steve...
Don't get much practice on the LHS!

edit: I part exchanged....my 3whlr PEDAL CAR

How come just 19 of us have registered here when there are about 500 people who have now ordered the 3W?

Somebody please give 'em a holler.

Finally got to sit in one today - at the Midland Section driving tests (excellent day out - the rain went away for the competition part of the day).
Sadly, I'll not be ordering one. Knees jammed so tight together with the padding on the trans tunnel, I couldn't operate the pedals - at all! No real problem with entry/egress (though there's no elegant egress - without a sky hook! :grin2)

Guess I'll be sticking to the earlier 4 wheeled cars (I'll probably be safer with them anyway! ).

Cheers,

Done beginning of June. Colour and specs not yet choosen. Delivery scheduled on June 2012!!!
Second Morgan after an Aero 8 S3.

Hi all
I am new member of this site and as yet not a morgan owner. However that should be rectified in about a year as I have now got a confirmed build number.

Well done P964!! Welcome to the impressive list of people counting the hours...

Welcome, congrats, and feel free to stir up the forum banter!

Your reference to "camel colour" has given me an idea for naming and plating my 3W (likely of the same colo(u)r as yours... I could call it (him/her) "Camello" (cah-MEY-zho) which means camel in Spanish — a very appropriate name because of the color, and since it'll easily cross the desert without water. Also, it has the figurative silhouette and character of a dromedary, a lightweight swift breed trained for riding or racing.

And a passing resemblance to a Sopwith Camel.........

P964; porsche-driver?
Welcome!

1560, you've become the first person ever to put us across the 100-post threshold in a 3W thread.

Please don't encourage 'The Belgian'

wait till I have to do my "Nürburgring-visit"-reports,
then I'll have another 100 in just a few weeks

Paid my deposit today, no delivery date yet. I really don't know what colour to pick. I guess I will have some time to decide!!

Welcome, Ivan – and congrats! There are some posts about color choices here... feel free to weigh in and discuss. Eager to hear your thoughts on the subject.

Well done Ivanford! Virgin?

I guess colour choice will be easier when photos of the above starts to appear on the forum...

Yes this is my first morgan, although I have worked on a few.

A good starting point

I ordered my 3wheeler 14th of March 2011, just after the Geneva Motor show.
It is built No. 32/11. and the Superdry Edition. I think it will be one of the first customer 3 wheelers that will find their way to Germany. There is a production delay; so I a have to wait at least one and a half more month till it will be delivered.

This will be my third Morgan.

My first Morgan is an Aero 8 GTN (VX 53 KTJ, see Top Gear) bought last August and just returned from Richard Thorne after some modifications for track day use; a break upgrade (3 pot calipers) a supension upgrade (new adjustable shocks and springs, a shorter rear axle and machanical limited slip diff.) and an engine remapping. Now it works as it has to be.

My second Morgan is a brand new +4 Super Sports that will be delivered (hopefully) next week. I ordered the +4 SS the 13th of July 2011 just after having sold my Roadster Sport. It is RAF Blue and I have chosen the race pack and the 4.1 (short) rear axle.

And what a triumvirate that will be Guenter, it seems like the best out of the three Morgan ranges!

Looking forward to seeing your write-up of the driving experience of each of them and some photos of the two newest to the stable (I know you have already posted photos of the GTN).

Congrats on your excellent taste!

I just received the message that the +4 SS will be ready the 1 of September.
Due to shipping to germany I suppose, I may pick it up on the 6th. of September. Pictures of both will follow

guenter1: congrats with your colletion of Superb Morgans!!!!

I have got production nr 488 and look forward to receive
the threewheeler in May / June 2012.

Steven, I am bitten by the Morgan microbe after having the Aeromax and your Roadster. Magnificent car it is !

I have driven a Threewheeler at Goodwood and signed the orderform immediately.
Was booked for the hillclimb on Friday afternoon together with the factory test driver, but a certain Dizzy Rascal took my place in the last minute because it was commercially more interesting...
Next day a picture of the Morgan with Dizzy Rascal on the tarmac was in the Times !
Anyway, luckily I could drive the car by myself on the country roads around Goodwood, and it was a fantastic experience.
Now another 9 months waiting...

@Koen: goede beslissing, zeker van dat er in jouw clienteel nog wel klanten voor te vinden zullen zijn, zelf heb ik getwijfeld en onlangs toch maar een geannuleerde bestelling overgenomen, low-speed-fun

For those who don't have time to Babelfish it!

@Koen: good decision, certainly of that there in your clientele still customers to find, themselves I have doubted and recently nevertheless but a cancelled order taken over, low-speed-fun

Babbelfish is Hilarious, I bet the Chinese use it to make instructions for cheap electronic equipment.

Or put through babbelfish;
Babbelfish is lively, I made a bet the Chinese use it to give the cheap electronic installation's instruction.


Cheers J

je tiens à vous tacquiner next week mon potte

Hi Everybody, this is my first posting here, and I'm the most recent one to put down a £3k non refundable deposit, no idea at this stage what my order number is though, but no doubt I'll find out in due course. What's the story with the drive belt, have they sorted it yet, and will the demo cars be on their way soon?

Are there any other little problem areas the factory are likely to be working on before production proper starts?

Paul

Hi Paul and welcome to TM.

The demo cas are with the dealers now as they were all delivered together (well that was the theory).

Hopefully all of the issues have been / are being resolved so the start of production shouldn't be too far off now, just in time for winter

@Paul, welcome, on sunday we have presentation of the 3whlr in Brussels, Steve Morris might be there,
so I hope to bring some news

One more to Sweden! Can´t wait to see (and feel) what I have ordered (going to an exebition in Stockholm today, the M3W is said to be there!). Next thing to do is decide colour and trim. Red with black trim, green/black or black/tan (my wife says no to silver :(, but yes to a 3-wheeler :)), this will be hard!

"(my wife says no to silver :(, but yes to a 3-wheeler :)), this will be hard! "

That's funny, I had just the opposite reaction. It still didn't deter me though, it will just be another of those bridges that will have to be crossed when we get there.

How do others convince their better halves that a small, noisy car, with no weather protection and no luggage space is going to be fun?

not worth the effort of trying

Quite right Stephen!

Cheers,

Negotiate: "If I get this, you can have that."

And point out that lack of weather protection leads to small country inns. Plus, there's enough luggage space for a small overnight bag and a bottle of wine. It might even be bubbly upon arrival.

That sounds like a married man talking Steven!

ANY UPDATES?????

Yes Nothing Happening, no word from the factory

Just a thought about order dates, as dealers were all encouraged to pre-order with a certain number of orders, then sell them on to customers, doesn't it depend when your individual dealer ordered from the factory, as to where you are on the waiting list, in other words if someone ordered their car, say,back in April, but the dealer had already sold his allocation of slots, but someone else ordered in September from another dealer who still had a couple of slots available, wouldn't that guy get his car first?

I heard that that MMC has up to 800 orders worldwide now ?

That figure was mentioned when I was at the factory yesterday. Pretty impressive really.

I hope my dealer gets his demo car in soon...I'm itching to give it a go!

Amazing, fastest ever selling Morgan ?

How many deliveries??

True not so many , but as far as orders it certainly could be

my dealer got his
I'll go there tomorrow/next week
