Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 How many bought without a test drive?

Bought the first one I ever drove because it was the one I wanted, if that makes any sense. And knew I would buy it as soon as I saw it. Still can't understand why I didn't take the plunge years ago but then I've tended to live in Morgan sparse parts of the world.

I came over from Belgium to England , to buy one at Harpers , (with bench - seat ) sat in it ,it fitst , and drove home. (that was in 1986)

Ours was ordered in Dec 2010 when the new M3W was still a concept....delivery (one of the early ones) was in April 2012....we did get a try in a factory prototype in Nov 2011 which confirmed to us that this was a great idea....5 months further waiting was painful....4+ years on we are still very happy esp as the various early model afflictions have been sorted...

I ordered mine before I'd even seen one in the flesh

Bought three over the years and only now. as I sell number Emily three am I going for drives in different models courtesy of BHM because I have no idea what to have next except that it will be a four wheeler.

+1 for all the above.
I have waited for 3 years ever since i first saw the car.
Read all the reviews, seen all the videos and still want one.
Reported problems are getting less and less.
The bevel box still seems to be a bone of contention

Deposit will be paid in 6 weeks when i retire.

I have driven the stage one demonstrator as KH, was driven in their stage 4. Now thats mental. The car, not idea of buying one.

I sat in one at Williams - I don't fit - glad I had a sit in one, whereas I fit in my Roadster (Just), I guess the M3W could be bespokely tailored to fit me but as standard I couldn't test drive one.

I want to see if the EV3 has any more room over the Petrol one as yup I am a little mad and really fancy one!

That makes 2 of us.....

Do you know what position the pedal box was in?
I am 6ft 5 and I can drive one (just) with the pedals in the medium position (there are 3), there is further adjustment still which delighted me as I will own one sometime in the future!

When we were on holiday in the UK, we visited the Morgan factory in 2003. My wife and I then decided that our classic car had to be a Morgan. Again while on holiday last year, we stopped at BHM to see what they had on offer. I had never driven a Morgan, nor a RHD car. Martin first took me for a test drive in a new +4. It was as if I had always driven a RHD car. Afterwards I had a test drive in mine-to-be +4, I was totaly hooked.
