Just wondering why you preferred a Morgan 3 wheeler over a campagna t-rex or a v13r?
After much thinking i went with the Morgan because of the old style look & uniqueness.
Campagna looks too modern for my liking but seems to be more reliable than a Morgan.
Your thoughts for taking a Morgan over any other 3wheeler

There were a few reasons for me; Morgans heritage and pedigree, but mostly it was the style. If I were to buy a motorcycle, I would rather have something more classic over a sport bike. The Morgan does just that in capturing the classic feel, where as all of the other 3 wheelers available in reverse trike configuration look like they might actually be transformers.
Edit: Also, I think owning a "classic" British car is in my genetics as my father had until recently a '63 Jag XKE convertible and my grand-father had a '63 RR Silver Cloud III. The Morgan 3 Wheeler is just a modern classic.

the same thing could be asked about why to buy either at all. There are plenty of other mainstream and niche cars in the same demographic.

For me, the combination of a Classic British sports car mated to a Harley(esque) motor was irresistible ... and just look at it ! Looks right !   Trex, not so much ...

It certainly wasn't a matter of "Which 3 wheel vehicle should I buy?" They are nothing alike. No interest whatsoever in the t-Rex or its ilk.
The Morgan made me, or actually my Wife, want to have it so bad...just the look of the thing. Had to have it.
