I am new to the World of Morgans. I have a M3W on order and just finished reading Peter Dron's book. The little bit of information I know suggests that they were very popular starting with their production in 1910. With their production continuing until 1953 I am curious to know more about the 2 and 3 speeder sports cars. How many exist and are still being driven? Has any come up for Auction recently?

Let me know if this thread is out of place. I did not see a Forum for Members with earlier production 3 Wheelers. Also anyone out there with pictures to share?

I know of three F type three wheelers within 70 miles from me. And ther is a Gent some 140 miles north of me that has three all definit years. Mostly not driven I suspect only looked at in the garages and at shows.

I have seven old Moto Guzzi singles 1937 and up that I treat the same way. Just to hard to find spares. So I ride them very sparingly.

A number of early M3Ws are still used in vintage racing here in UK. These two with V twin engines are from 1929/30, but later models with Ford sidevalve engines are also used. The 3 wheeler club could probably tell you about surviving numbers.

This car, driven by Sue Darbyshire, hit some oil on track and spun off. Sue went to hospital but was discharged the same evening. Although damaged, I'm sure the car will be back racing before too long.

I have relatively recently joined the Morgan Three Wheeler Club.

Very active group and some super characters! Excellent magazine & website.
This forum does seem to mainly discuss the five speeders, however.

Sue's car looks awesome. Those front tires are all business. I wonder if those would fit on a 5 speeder? Thanks for the info and the pics!

I am glad to hear so many made it to the USA and your area. Are you in the vicinity of Washington State?

Around 100 went to Australia - including a batch in 1946. Quite a lot are still active and there are always a few at historic race meetings and rallies.

Have a browse here Ken. If a typical M3W club pub meet is anything to go by, they are all being rebuilt but will be on the road next year wink

Here is mine a 1934 Sports alongside my 2013 5 Speeder. The 1934 sports is currently stripped for rebuild. I have done the engine and am currently working on the chassis and running gear.



There is a Yahoo group which caters for earlier 3 wheelers

And if you have a three wheeler, or just plain interested, PM me and I'll get you invited (moderated membership - but I 'own' the group...).
