Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 What's Your Speech

It's pronounced "whatcardat"

"It's made by Morgan Motor Company. They have had lots of practice making them since 1909."

OR …. "It is British and conveniently sits so low that when a part falls off you can circle back around to pick it up without getting out of the car".

When asked how much it costs:
"You've got the internet in your pants, look it up and judge me silently."

I seem to only get asked this at gas stations. Had one guy get mad at me for not telling him.

If I tell them it's a Morgan and they haven't heard of the company, I say all old english guys in movies drive the four wheel kind.

I've even got in mind a half dozen brands to rattle off when someone says they didn't know the English make cars. I've heard that 3 or 4 times!

Personally, I used to enjoy all the attention my car got and the questions it prompted.
The boot was on the other foot recently when I was boarding the ferry for a visit to the Grand Prix Historique in Pau and saw the three wheeler below and was quizzing the owners on what it was. Brownie points to anybody who knows what it was! (Hope link below works as it is the first time I have triesd to upload a photo)

kit car?

And no, it's not a kit car!

Berkeley Three Wheeler?

Berkeley T60, late 50s or early 1960s?

I would go with Berkeley , my brother used to have one.

Yup. You guys do know your three wheelers! I'd never heard of Berkeley before. The driver said he had replaced the original engine with an old Mini one and had added some chassis bracing (apparently they originally came without any so the car used to flex rather a lot!).
