just looked at morgan's page and the trad does look a bit rough as well. still no excuse for a $60,000 car when you could source an aftermarket wheel at retail for a couple hundred dollars not to mention what it would cost if the factory bought a 1,000 of them Blake.....have you seen the standard 4 wheeler traditionals steering wheel? Believe me, you have the better deal...just!

i'm totally with you. granted it would complicate things regulations wise as someone pointed out as the only reason morgan is allowed to be back in the US market is because the 3 wheeler is a motorcycle and exempt from crash test, airbags, and crash bumpers. that being said i've always loved the look of the old Bugatti type 35's and tank cars that had that stunning bullet shaped body and open wheeled setups.   A 4th wheel  Actually I'm being serious! As an additional model in the range, I've always thought that a pair of cycle winged rear wheels would look brilliant on the Three Wheeler. That and a pair of pukka Brooklands exhausts.

HI Blake
I picked up on your comment about hex bolts under the seats ripping the leather as you previously described - mine has dome head pop rivets at that position so not as bad , but I still fixed a strip of 1/8" ply between seat and rivets by way of protection.
So not as bad as you describe on mine , so they have improved it , but I agree the finishing could be better.

PARDON?  Actually 6ft 1 ½ The car originally had the sports exhausts on it, changed back to original due to breakages, shortly to have the new improved sports exhausts re-fitted. No need for earplugs just let the hair inside grow  I have the exactly same experience. At first I had a pre-production sport exhaust. Then it was replaced by a standart one after a problem with the left exhaust-pipe, after which it became much quieter and the driving-experience much more boring. I'm rebuilding it now to the previous set-up, I also need it much lauder!!!

Blake, when the organised feedback session gets off the ground, it would be great if you would email me a list of all your feedback; that is unless you want to fly over to Malvern for the session?  I'd be happy to be 'Blake' for the day if it helps improve the breed.

You've forgotten the obvious - a supercharger of course.  Oh, and a race series.

Yes and possibly yes. Would love to be apart of the session if either via email or factory visit. What time of year are we talking about? With enough notice I could possibly book a flight. I travel for a living so I'm a bit flush with frequent flier miles.
