Another nice 3 Wheeler video (from Niche Vehicle Network) at YouTube; with several comments by Charles Morgan, Steve Morris, Matt Humphries and the team behind the 3 Wheeler; it shows more than the earlier ones. At around 4.5 minutes it’s a mini-documentary, in my mind.

Excellent find! The exhaust note sounds much tamer, but equally wonderful. My neighbors would probably prefer this setup. (And so would I for daily driving.) It's the best video clip to-date for in-motion viewing – absolutely phenomenal! I can see it'll be another sleepless night... counting 3 Wheelers in bed...

Interesting watching the evolution unfold.
The switches are now recessed.
I like the steering wheel, could do without the dirt catching covering.
Not sure about the mufflers. Probably better for sound but not so good for looks. Need more of a bullet look instead of the can look.
Hard to tell, but it looks like the front fenders are now covered on the inboard side. Like that look.

One thing that I have not seen is the car with some type of hood erected?
What it is going to look like with wet weather up and installed is anyone's guess?
When I was in the market for a Morgan, I was interested in the 4 seater, UNTIL I saw one with the hood up.
It looked so awful that I immediately discarded the 4 and went for the 2 seater, with its more pleasing and streamlined hood.
They have to so something very clever for the 3 wheeler or it will become a fine weather car in the UK.
Has anyone seen it with its wet weather gear installed? drive

From what I have seen so far, I would guess there is not going to be any wet weather gear. (other than a raincoat). Would need a new windshield design before a top could be considered.

Yes. Just pure speculation, but I think it's very likely that several small things might change, or has changed since the first images; so perhaps one shouldn't get stuck with how it looked at one image.

As you say there are some differences. If you compare, for example, the image of the dashboard from one of the cars shown at Geneva found here, with the dash shown in the video at 3:47-3:50, starting here, there are some differences.

For example, the labels next to the switches on the dash are different compared to, at least one of, the Geneva cars; they are larger on the development car, and as you said, the switches look a bit recessed (or lacking the knob). Different gauges; the needles are white, and there are Morgan wings. You will also notice a red LED, flashing, above the start button, in the video above. I have no idea what it indicates, but being on a development vehicle I would expect almost anything. And as mentioned there's a silencer; agree with you about the design, but I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of options. (Perhaps could be some clip-on design, for easy removal. laugh2 )
Another, nice, steering wheel etc. And yes, I didn't notice it at first glance, the development car seems to have some cover on the mudguards.

Given the overall design I wouldn't expect a hood/weather gear, but there is always the aftermarket industry, inventing all kind of things...; guess it would be quite complicated and easily getting very ugly. Hey, back in the old days not many cars were tin boxes. grin2

Would actually like to see a split windshield like on the old supersports. A bit more protection than the little faux brooklands on the current prototypes.

An excellent find and video. Charles mentioned a wt of 450kg, whereas previously I had seen a figure of 480kg. That's got to be another bit of good news if true.

Can't wait till June!

Cheers

Slightly disappointed, the sound from the exhausts on first videos I found on here was fantastic, so I think that will need attending to... Also the new steering wheel, looks out of place IMHO, these Momos should be on racing cars, it's bad enough people put them on their citroen saxos and the like. Moto Lita make a few with a more classic look. Shame about the title switches. I do like the battery switch though.

Did anyone else notice what appears to be newly-added quarter-round mud flaps inside the front wheel fenders? They seem to be fabric (could see them flapping), possibly with chromed snaps at the bottom – maybe for testing-purposes only? Or, maybe I should just visit my optometrist!
