This seems cheap and in reasonably unmolested condition to me not being a three wheeler man. http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/611068836/1934-morgan-3-wheeler-roadster.html

And probably more reliable than the new ones. Looks like a nice project.

Looks like a nice tinkering project and what seems to be a reasonable price.

One lesson I learn (by fortune) with my car is that you should get something that is working. I started by looking for a cheap wreck of a project to help me escape work in the evenings. Something I could tinker on and if I finished it great, if not scrap it.
The Morgan was in much better condition that I wanted but I fell for the car. The condition was a real plus as this meant I could tinker and do "odd jobs" and still enjoy using it without it becoming a millstone around my neck.
This M3W looks like my car...a great project with a good basis.

Project, yes. There is a lot work here. Body looks odd, don't see the two fillers on the bonnet (oil and fuel) only see one. Windscreen not correct, etc. So some time in the auto jumbles will be needed. But the price seems reasonable.

Almost certainly a bitza, and I suspect it has a very odd back end as it looks a bit like a cross between a beetle back and a barrel backed car. No rear photograph though so a bit hard to tell. While a lot of odd things were done, I also doubt the engine is original either.
Price is low too, which in itself suggests the car has a few oddities.
Headlights are not a pair, drivers side reflector is yellow ish
and the passenger one is blue ish.
Windscreen is very odd. Never seen one like that on a twin, ever. A bit like a windscreen on a F type - but not quite.
Bracing is odd too, no upper reaction rods and two rods per side on the bottom.
As the numberplate is on view, if one has any interest, best to contact the MTWC registrar and see what it has in the records.

That's the low end of the estimate. It's in the Bonhams auction at Beaulieu this weekend

Bonhams seem to always estimate low. It's to attract bids.
This car is odd. Either a narrow bodied special or a Darmont?
