I had an hours drive in the 3 wheel ltd experiance ltd based at the factory several weeks ago. I'd always adored the M3W and was itching to try one after all the rav reviews etc.
I came away disappointed - far from agreeing with the reviews i couldn't see what the fuss was about. Steering that bounced about, a bevel box that would drown out last night of the proms and make your ears bleed- so bad it masked the lovely exhaust noises. Lots of rattles from the transmission etc etc.No room for clutch leg made my foot ache too. I've been saving upto buy one for ages and based on that drive wouldn't give you £3K for one let alone £30K. So so disappointed. Not a good advert for the factory at all.
It was i discovered an early car and i think unmodified, in addition to having covered quite a few hard miles.
I have since driven a 2014 car with 2k covered and it was totally different to drive. A slight bit of drive belt noise but nothing much and lots to grin about!. The steering was 100% better as was the driveline - much smoother and the engine felt more responsive too. No idea why but my foot didn't ache either!. Ears not bleeding and no bevel box screaming. My faith has been restored and i'm now about to take the plunge and gamble on a new car. I do hope its going to be Ok as i have never spent so much on a car, not even close, ever before. Fingers crossed that my car comes with the magic that is built into some Morgans, although notm all it seems.
