I like all of them love But if I have to choose, I'd choose Ace, and I don't think its screwing up the front at all, and nothing wrong with revising the suspension and steering which probably means even better handling than original and as Andy say, the HD engine is also highly tuneable and very reliable, you could fit a screaming eagle 1560 kit on it notworthy

Leaving the technology aside (for those with more knowledge and ability) I love the look of the Ace.

I'm not so sure it's meaning to be aMorgan 3 wheeler replica? Unless I've missed something? It may well have taken something from the original 3 wheeler and made a more modern vehicle that celebrates the original concept?

Aero 8 anyone?

ETA just re-read some more about the car and quote "with a nod and a wink to" and "inspired by" the Morgan 3 wheeler. Confirms my thoughts to me.

Well we all like it, and apparently so did Morgan! Great looking back on this! I appreciate that it was really just a series of happy accidents that led to us being able to buy these great cars.

Since Morgan bought him out to make the M3W he has taken a lot of his info off of his site.

Well i think the big issue would be driver comfort if you move the wheel to the "english" side.
