Easter,
I'm sure the issue can be resolved with some blue-tac and sticky plastic. I'm sure over next few months we'll all find out more. With the layout suggested I don't see why all the 3 wheelers need to be LHD but as I said I'm no engineer.

The talk about right hand drive or left hand drive has me all in a tizz? The engine faces forwards and the main drive at the rear. Agreed? Yes.. The question is weather the elastic rubber band is wound up clockwise or anticlockwise, that is the question. Gearboxes dont even enter the equation, who needs them anyway? Land -Rovers have a right angle converter to transfer the action to the front winch and also to the rear PTO (Graham knows all about this as well)  Morgans are not very different to land-rovers in that respect and the only thing that the 3 wheeler cant do is engage 4 wheel drive?  or should I say 3 wheel drive. So the only solid outcome is to determine the viscosity of the rubber and how many twists per inch... 
If you are doing nothing, how do you know when you are finished?

Good! Will be very interested to see the full technical details when they become available (although, thinking about it, have they ever been available, for any Mog??  ). Still curious who's single sided swingarm will be used, or whether they will make their own... Cheers,

It seems that the first year's production of 200 is already sold-out!

Pal of mine's got one (or had onefor several years). Trouble is, he's similar size to me, so we couldn't both get in it at the same time!  Cheers,
