I think it might be a home built creation.
I've a feeling that the seller is well known within the MTWC for rather dodgy deals, for instance trying to sell odd scrap bits and claiming it is easy build a genuine three wheeler and get it registered. His eBay selling feedback does not show him in a good light either.

More than likely the vehicle will have been given a "Q" registration plate too...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/morgan-three-wheeler-lookalike-/112999246261Why buy the overpriced, mainly foreign componented original when for a much smaller price buy this ,mainly foreign componented three wheeler, as it will probably end up sitting in your garage for most of its life like the real one will, slowly depreciating. Great runner, lots of fun, 4 speed gearbox with reverse, reliable honda 650 cx motor, robin reliant gearbox, comes with a years mot. No dreamers or time wasters, pick up only, Cash on purchase after run round the block. She,s quite something,isnt she, thanks for looking.
+1 for the engineering choices for engine, gearbox -1 for salesmanship

Mmm to my eyes that is horrible!
The issue with all Honda Vs in Trikes is cooling.
On my JZR the rad was at the back of the engine - and never worked well.I fitted a motocross slave rad at the side which helped.
This solution at the front is pants!
Now that Pembleton three wheeler with the Guzzi engine...more like it!

The Pembleton is £23K on the road with a new Guzzi engine.
Ok its not a Morgan - but its almost half the price.
And looks really very good!
I have never seen one in the flesh - but the pics look very enticing.
I am not in the market for one - but it makes for an interesting comparison.

They sound like very good value Neil and reliability inbuilt with the Guzzi unit.

I quite fancy a modern 'F' Type three wheeler, with a water cooled multi cylinder lump and a flat rad sale frontage. The Sigma engine is arguably a little too large, but the small three cylinder units in many shopper cars would be better, but it still needs a nice gearbox and it wouldn't worry me if it's front wheel drive either.. Hmmm

Agreed Steve - an F type could be really appealing. As you say there are engines out there - the Caterham 160 uses a very compact three cylinder Suzuki, the latest now putting out 100hp. Highly unlikely as MMC appear to be able to sell the M3W production as it is. BUT you never know!
