If there is any way to contact Pete I'd appreciate the information in a private PM. He was a champion for me on my purchase.
Bummer to hear about the Morgan Factory issues. I know a local M3W dealer (who dropped his dealership) was unhappy with his relationship with the Factory too. I have a copy of Pete's book so the History will live on.

Hello, AZ: It is quite likely that we bought our M3W's form the same dealer in AZ. I now cannot get any response from their service department, and wonder if they are still in existence. I am very interested in Pete's latest creation. I was about to purchase his ACE #13 when the Morgan people made it impossible for me to proceed. Kindly advise me via PM if you discover a way to contact Mr. Larsen.

Pete is busy moving from a facility that has been family owned since 1925 to a more modern facility to more easily produce the Ace 2.0.
Morgan threatened him for having an email address that referenced the M3W so he is setting up new addresses for the new business.
Morgan seems very predatory.

Sorry it took me so long to reply, the message was listed as a Profile Comment and didn't get noticed... Pete's tn# has not changed and is at the bottom of the old London Telegraph review of his ACE back in 2009; https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/first-drives/4734497/Liberty-Ace-review.html I don't think he can help with anything Morgan related these days, but the ACE 2.0 will be quite something when it's ready!

3GS, you are 100% correct.
I feel really sorry for Pete in the way he was treated by Morgan. They would not be making the new 5speeder if it wasn’t for Pete.
His new Ace 2.0 should be a real track burner, smooth and fast and completely reliable. A miniature F-1 👍😎

I feel really sorry for Pete in the way he was treated by Morgan. Reminds me of an old joke... - Do you know why divorces are so expensive? - Because they're worth it!!!

Here's another great article about Pete's first ACE with many nice pics; https://twistedsifter.com/2010/10/morgan-three-wheeler-trike-ace-cycle-car/OK, back to the ACE 2.0 discussion... After owning ACE#10 for a while I can honestly say it's amazing and I fully expect that 2.0 will be even scarier. It's not the modern / vintage Morgan look that Pete nailed with his first 3 wheeled creation, but I'm confident that the ACE 2.0 will be a petrol fueled fantasy... "A bug-eyed and ethereal experience" was Pete's forecast as to what piloting the ACE 2.0 will be like!

I wonder how he's getting round the US regs requirement for this type of vehicle to have their headlights close together?
