Thought it was time to stop lurking and introduce myself (though the lurking has been most informative, as I've read a couple of hundred posts in the 3W forum)
I purchased a 3W recently from Charlie Jarvis of Michigan, who did a fine job of maintaining and upgrading the 2012 #458 which he purchased new from the factory.
Unfortunately it's been very cold since the car arrived, so there hasn't been much driving. But it has given me the opportunity to take the car somewhat apart and do a deep clean and inspection. Really just wanted to see how it was all put together.
Very surprised at how few stainless fasteners Morgan used on a vehicle so exposed to the elements. Also surprised there is no sealing between the front compartment and engine area to the cockpit (tunnel area), as well as no sealing around the rear bulkhead panels to the swingarm area. I though it rained a lot in England?
Still it's a giggle to drive, and just sitting in the garage studying it give great satisfaction.
I look forward learning more about these Most Excellent (Silly) machines, and hope I can contribute in small ways to the forum.
