I'm planning a day out in a rented M3W, a present from Father Christmas.. I would like to include an overnight stay away but really don't know if there is any luggage space in the car. Can someone enlighten me please? Obviously don't need much more than a toothbrush and whatever  needs. Is it possible (without a luggage rack)? Thanks all in advance. Andy

You can get a surprising amount into the boot, best packed loosely in soft bags so that they can fit the odd shape of the boot and a fair sized soft bag can be stuffed down the passenger footwell unless  is over about 7ft tall in which case she will need all the leg room! Clothes that need to be carefully packed and kept immaculately uncreased may suffer... Enjoy it.

The boot has a reasonible size for short trips. With some experience you can pack for longer trips too, but you have to set priorities. I did touring bike trips for two weeks together with my spouce and it can be organized. (...with an additional credit card there is no limitation at all)

Next day just turn your underpants inside out and off you go! Simples!

Andy, you should talk to Mario about luggage capacity! He and his wife certainly know how to pack a Three Wheeler!
Underpants? You can't beat Rohan's silver impregnated ones.....they last ages!

Agree re Rohan...have been a user since 1976 and there are no better options in clothing for a complete range of easy care iron free clothing for travelling...ideal for Morgan adventures !!!!
I am about to travel to Madagascar and all I need can be easily compressed into a medium rucksack....wonder if I will see any Morgans in Madagascar ?!!!!!

A quick wipe with metal polish and they're good to go. Or, in extreme conditions, a Brillo Pad!

Underpants? You can't beat Rohan's silver impregnated ones.....they last ages! I know nothing of Rohan underpants (and to this day I thought Rohan to be just a kingdom in JRR Tolkien's Middle Earth, how mistaken I was  ) ... and about putting luggage into a M3W all I can say is that the expert is my wife. I will however say this. After 5 days of travel this was how our stuff was distributed: - At the back (boot? trunk?) ... apart from the M3W's own stuff (tonneau on top of the wheel hump (?), tools bag all the way at the rear, behind said wheel hump) we had two backpacks, (his and hers) one in each side of the wheel. The backpacks went slimmer as our clothes wee getting used, but the mrs. always found ways of filling them up with useless stuff from England Ireland and Spain. Gifts for the kids and other nonsense of the sort ... as for me I only added to my luggage the PaddyMog shirt I was kindly offered and the exhaust repair kit I had to buy. - Passenger's footwell ... That was where a complete SPAX suspension kit was stored. Very useful thing it was too, but that's from another thread. They provided a nice footrest for the mrs., something seh's telling me she needs sorted now, she misses something there to rest her feet/legs. - Finally, at the front, under the bonnet/hood(?) ... - the used clothing, in a soft bag that kept becoming bigger as the days went on. I don't have pictures but there's a very handy empty space in one side of the car (I suppose that side changes from RHD to LHD) that is very useful for storage, if sensibly used, considering what else is under that bonnet. - , with our of all the used clothing was packed inside a bag placed
