So, I bought a Morgan Super 3...
So, I bought a Morgan Super 3, albeit in 1:64 scale  Walking through the supermarket, I always get tempted to look at the rows of Hot Wheels hanging on their cards at the ends of the aisles. I'm sure they are there to tempt children into pestering their parent into an impulse purchase; however, they are an equally effective trap for yours truly. Although 99.9% of the time, after a quick browse, I am happy to move along without a toy car, today I saw something I haven't seen in a long time, a small scale Morgan die-cast! Nice to see that Morgan have had the Super 3 picked up for the 2025 Hot Wheels line up. The series, it is included in, seems to be called Factory Fresh and it is noted as 1/5. The Factory Fresh collection seems to include three variations of the Super 3 (teal, the orange as per my photo and an exclusive version for 'Kroger'), as well as two versions of the 1987 Audi Quattro (car 2/5), the Proton Saga (an interesting inclusion  (car 3/5), the Gordon Murray T.33 (4/5) and the Ferrari SF90 Stradale (5/5). Setting aside the Proton Saga, some interesting and good company for the little Morgan.

Me too, tiny things but quite accurate considering (1p piece for scale) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2025/04/06/Super-3-2.md.jpg)

I was actually my wife who found it in Aldi I think, I left it on the package as I thought she'd bought it for one of the grandkids, & then it appeared on display in my office
A few days later I joked perhaps we should test drive one whilst darn sarf, then we noticed a dealer has a preloved in exactly the same paint as the Roadster, and I remembered I bought
