Talk Morgan Forums Community Welcome Forum Third year BA Hons Automotive Design Student

Hi guys and girls,

Im currently studying automotive design at staffordshire university. Im in my third year in which i am re-vamping the old Morgan Super Sport (three Wheeler). I have signed up to get a good look at what the community and general feel around the Morgan brand is.

Sketches and other development work to follow. Also any advice would be much appreciated

Odd I thought it would be a BSc not a BA?

Still the Morgan 3 wheeler had good power to weight and for this reason remained competitive into the sixties as a sidecar racer, the greenwood mini took this a stage further by utilising the front wheel drive front end of a mini with a single back wheel, annoyed the biker types no end!

If you are looking to simply update the 1935 barrelback then a front end V twin from a Motoguzzi would do the job, a V4 from a Honda Trans European a Ducati engine is assymetrical so would look wrong (but sound nice)

Go to emog group, there is a gut there called John H Shealley and he is a very well known now retired professional photographer and racer of Morgans, Bugattis and such, he really knows the quirks of these cars, I have never driven a trike so cannot help you more.

Good luck

Welcome. There seem to be a few students frequenting Talk Morgan, which is nice.

I am not sure how I can help but wanted to offer a welcome.

Good luck & looking forward to seeing the concept car

Thanks for the help so far guys will upload some sketches as soon as possible to get some ideas of what you think

Not necessarily. I got a BA in Physics.

But maybe this course is about pretty shapes rather than design in the engineering sense.
