Can the modern one meet any of these criteria?
Yet it's another success for the Morgan Motor Company.
It shows really how much their customer base has changed. And very recently really. I well remember the owners meetings being populated by scruffy chaps talking about the mechanics of the thing...then inspecting all the mods on each car there. That was only twenty or so years ago. The last few meetings I went to three or so years ago had very different types talking only about shipping their cars to foreign lands for a holiday and what excellent meals were available and where.
We've changed and so have the cars I guess...?

Nick - Missing the camaraderie of the good old days! that’s why you need one - it’s a quite different experience being involved & driving the M3W to anything else morgan related or any other group or club I’ve experienced to date in spite of the excessively negative bias by some posting here (who haven’t any real experience with the M3W good or bad and who assume a lot.) I’ve personally experienced all there is to date that can go wrong not only with the car but also with the lack of experience as a whole around our vechicles, but it’s still without doubt the best thing we’ve ever bought - it’s got a group of owners who’s dedication, & motivation to putting on events and driving the car thousands of miles across continents is inspiring and whose technical experience of course has grown & developed at the same pace with the car. There are those who will scoff but you really need to get in the water if you’re going to swim with the fish 🐠.

Well folks, my depressing adventure continues. I've shared my crack saga before. I had the crack welded on my 2012 and the repair turned out nicely, however the EXTREME PULL TO THE RIGHT AND RATTLE VIBRATION continued, Some of you may remember that this saga started some time ago. After the crack repair the symptoms remained. I decided an extreme inspection was required. Up on stands with a pry bar to tweak and wiggle everything I could. As I worked my way to the front I found nothing, then as I looked up in the area of the upper A frame on the right just behind the A frame mount and hidden by the body I could see another crack. When I went to the top to look I found it wasn't a crack but a break in the tube-the, entire circumference, or two pieces of tube, SIGH-- I'm glad I finally found the problem. I sent pictures to my dealer here in San Francisco and he is very sympathetic. I've been afraid to drive the car for some 4 months now, but I guess a new chassis is in my future also as some of the rest of you have already experienced. Sorry to be so windy, but I hope my tale might encourage some of you with the earlier years to be vigilant. My love affair isn't over, just suspended for a while. Good luck with this that's damn bad luck.

+1 Mark, the social side of M3W ownership is just as important as driving it as far as I’m concerned.
I have met and made friendships with many people I would never have met had it not been for the 3 wheeler.
Long may it continue.

Rog G, it is a seven year old vendetta. And in my view spoils this forum.

Such a shame the 3W problems not only continue but get worse....

Were there no issues there would be no posts necessary - this is a major issue and is putting prospective buyers off purchasing at all certain people need to realise.
