Pre-Spring SALE PRICE - Get it before the snow melts and enjoy it right away this spring!
There are far too few vehicles that can be purchased today that offer the raw excitement and sheer joy that the Morgan 3 Wheeler (M3W) evokes. Sliding down into the cockpit you are taken back to a simpler time where computers and electronic nannies were not invented yet; a place where you tend to memorize the coming weeks weather forecast; a place where the journey really is better than the destination. This is because the Morgan Motor Company has successfully resurrected a modern version of their winning formula founded more than a century ago in the English countryside.
When I first saw the new 5-speed M3W at the 2011 Geneva Auto Show I instantly fell in love with the look and style of this reverse trike. As soon as the EPA said that Morgan could sell the M3W in the US, I placed my deposit at Auto Europe, in Birmingham, MI. It was ordered bespoke in February of 2012, with a build date that was scheduled for the end of October, and after a small setback in production it was finally built that December. Following a long trip, it was delivered to me in March of 2013 as the 3rd of the first 6 customer cars in Michigan, with a chassis number of 458.
One of the biggest selling features for me was the ability to really enjoy the vehicle without having to go to the track or break all kinds of laws on public roads. Even with a top speed of 115 mph it is most at home on the back roads cruising along at 35-65 mph, where you can enjoy the deep grunt of the large S&S v-twin up front, the crisp shifts from the Mazda MX5 transmission, and the smiles, waves and honks from most everyone you see. It is true that you can spend twice as much on a supercar and get half of the attention that the M3W brings, and when measured in smiles per mile, nothing comes close to this vehicle.
Being an early adaptor I have regularly had it back to the dealership for upgrades as they have become available. Fully sorted by the master Morgan mechanics at Auto Europe, it has even been upgraded with Morgan’s Aero Racing stage 1 kit - you can find a full list of upgrades and accessories below. My M3W is in very good condition, with a couple scratches where the boot lid latch has rubbed on the body, the tires are original but still in very good shape, I have always driven respectfully - no track use, no excessive burnouts, no doughnuts. It has had a full detail annually at the dealership as well.
Sale will include all dealer service records and receipts, the factory build book, 2 sets of keys, the tool kit and owner’s manual, black mohair tonneau cover, UK black and silver MORGAN front license plate, and some of the stock parts that were upgraded - such as, the rear aluminum sprocket (in case buyer wants to get it reconditioned for future use as it is lighter), stock horn, stock front suspension components, and about half a quart of stock Sport Teal paint from the factory.
Priced to sell, I am in the process of building a house up north and could use the funds. I will consider any reasonable, serious offer. Now is your chance to get into a better-than-new M3W without having the wait or importing costs and hassles!
