Cudos to Morgan for keeping the line rolling. They had no choice but to do something. If I had been given the same engineering problem, I don't know that I could have done any better.
I wonder what that setup would look like with those tiny Polaris Slingshot headlights in place of the 7 inch units?

One thing that I have found with Morgan fans...they hate change. Anything new is ugly and whatever it started as was beautiful.

On my M3W (84099) I noticed that the AR stage 1 air cleaner and exhaust were not installed. Hopefully, the AR air cleaner will fit behind the repositioned headlights. Anyone know if it's larger than the standard one?

With the majority of production going to the States. Really?

Buried in that government document is that Morgan are fileing to have the rule changed.
This could all be a stop-gap measure to keep cars moving

https://www.federalregister.gov/document...l-noncomplianceApparently this is the origin of that fugly configuration. This is really stupid from the USA authorities. If this auto cycle is as wide as a car, safety commends that its headlights be positioned in a way that show its wideness. But I guess Morgan 3 Wheeler owners in the States will happily put the headlights back where they belong. And they'll be safer by doing so Thanks for posting I've just spent an interesting 20 minutes reading it I quite like the new headlight arrangement - am I the only one ?
