A couple of Morgan 3 Wheeler movies I took today.

The first is the Morgan 3Wheeler being started up in the development section of the Morgan Motor Company and AsboJohn going out for a passenger ride...

Thanks Simon, they made my day!

What i quickly can see differs from the Geneva prototype:

Side mirrors changed to probably more useful one's but far more ugly than bullet version.

Seems to be new mufflers on the pipe directly after the engine bend.

Black spokes on steering wheel?

I really hope the cowl M3W-badge still is there...

I've now recovered and wow what ride.

At this stage the car is very much still in development and the engine being run can only rev to about 2000rpm until its hit 1000 miles then the electronics will allow it to rev freely.

The engine is mounted on the hardest bushes that they have in order to literally shake it down before production and you can feel every pulse of the V twin as the power kicks. So I'm off to the dentist tomorrow to get my fillings checked. winky

The sound from the straight through exhaust is amazing, but I don't think well hear this in the production versions. Certainly worth considering if you want to upset your neighbours.

Acceleration is rapid and the torque of the engine means this can be delivered in almost and gear. Second and third gear pull aways all possible so its not your normal bike engined machine. I'm sure the legal limit will be easily surpassed. innocent

Road holding: Now the aero corners well, but from the brief period I spent in the passenger seat I'd say this is better, very flat and like its on rails even with those skinny front tyres, as we approached a few corners I was thinking OMG but not a problem. As one of the development guys said to us its the best Morgan he's ever driven.

For those of you who are sitting on the fence not sure if you should or shouldn't I'd get your order placed quick as I can see these going like hot cakes. It won't appeal to everyone, but thankfully I'm not in that camp and roll on production.

Having spent a few hours with the development guys can you can see the time effort and engineering thats going into this and it'll be interesting to watch the development. The development guys are working on the car during the day and then driving the car at night, even being as brave as entering into Wales. (Gerwyn I promise we didn't tell then where you lived, or suggested a 4am cruise up and down your street.)



Now all we need to get organised is the M3W race series. woohoo


Far to much to take in for a short journey but I want one.

The current exhaust is running with straight pipes and no cats; what you can see after the bend is a flexible section, used to reduce vibration between the engine and the exhaust.

The M3W badge is still on the cowling and looking great.

To quote Claudia Winkelman........"I've just gone a little moist"
Great little films, thanks for sharing, I would really like to have one but it does not have 3 windscreen wipers!
