Hi Guys,

First of all - best wishes for 2020.

I'm back in the country - Car is still not registered. Local MOT is chasing its own tale about the status of the MOG (all of them are registered as a car except one). So have to take my case all the way up to the ministry this week. Hopefully the home stretch.

E.

Best of luck to you. All but one, why was the one singled out, any way to find out who to ask why and where he was getting the vehicle inspected so people could avoid that station?

I have no idea to be honest - I'm towing the 3W tomorrow to be inspected by a special committee to get my non-objection certificate.
Trikes are extremely rare over here and my guess is that the legislation is not clear on their status as a vehicle. I have collected photographic proof on several models locally registered as cars. Also I will make it clear to them in person that a motorcycle license means fuck all when operating a morgan 3 wheeler.
Hopefully one other owner shall be joining me.

This is just classic government red tape with a generous dosage of ass coverage

Where exactly is "over here"? That trikes are so rare, Morgans are rare for sure.

They have a couple of m3w’s in uae, plus many polaris slingshots & campagna t-rex, which are all trikes. Ask the polaris dealership what do they register the slingshot as & go from there.
