Hello Guys,

I just landed on the forum a few days back. I'll put it simply:

I am lusting after the 3 wheeler !

I've spent about 5 hours with one both as a driver and passenger and cannot get it out of my head. But you all know that since you own one :-).

I've lurked around the forum for a while and have picked up on the necessary duds the car come from (bevel box, exhaust falling off, indicator case melting etc etc ...). It doesn't scare me at all as it is exactly the same as on any car forum. (you should see the conversations on the LS7 engine of the Z06 the Bevel box issue is a gentleman's agreement in comparison).

Here is my issue:

The UAE dealer has just closed its doors because sales didn't happen. Now I tried buying one for the better part of last year but they never even bothered calling me back or offering me a car to buy on the multiple visits I did. No loss there !

I've been looking internationally for my purchase. I initially was looking at a low mileage 2012-2014 model but it seems everyone so far has told me to go for a higher mileage one (which goes again general car buying wisdom but since its a morgan it doesn't apply :D). Reason behind that argument is that if any of the big issues hasn't happened then the car is safe.

I should check for Urban Fan kit, Anti-bump steer kit (is it what people list as comfort kit?), reinforced chassis and reinforced exhaust holders. Let's not forget about a purring bevel box.

Am I missing anything?

Is it reasonable to find a car between the 36,000$ to 43,000$ mark with all the above criteria?

USA seems to have the cheaper ones compared to Europe (despite shipping).

So far here are the contenders:
