I have found an article (in the Morgan Ear Dec/Jan 1994 ) which confirms my belief that a 3w Morgan flew. I had asked this forum earlier.
Ernest (cousin of AC Maskell) designed a kit to modify his car and flew it in the Northern Territory, Australia. A cruise speed of 55 knots was claimed.
I don't know how to send you all a PDF of the entire article.
It is fantastic.

Now I quite believe your post - The New Zealanders have many very keen fliers down there. We took a treck in a campervan a few years back and came across a little town with airstrip down towards the sea. Either side were parked light planes beside dwellings that lay back on either side. An evening aerobatic display was part of the fun.

Hmm. You may wish to dig a bit deeper into the provenance of this story. This Ernest apparently went prospecting for opals in the "Nagrom Valley". Not only does there appear to be no such place in Australia, the eagle-eyed amongst you will spot that Nagrom is Morgan spelled backwards.
I am reliably informed by a long-time member of MOCA (Morgan Owner's Club of Australia) that the story is a hoax.
