Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Liberty ACE 2.0 = a flat 6 mid-engine 3 Wheeler!

It was particularly the D type I was thinking of.

Type C 16 cylinder engine. They were engineering works of art. Agree Pandy, definite visual cues in Type D.

Definitely looking forward to reading and seeing more about Pete’s work of art.

so has he placed the engine behind the driver?

From the opening post and OP - Pete Larsen of Liberty Motors in Seattle WA didn't 'retire' after selling his ACE designs to Morgan a decade ago. Pete has been back at it and his ACE 2.0 will be a mid-engine 3 wheeled screamer! It has a flat 6 and shaft drive from a Honda Goldwing just behind the seats that are basically between the front wheels and the gas pedal is inches behind the nosecone for anyone that feels too sheltered currently.

I for one can't wait; in Pete's words it will be a, "Bug-eyed and ethereal experience!"

p.s. I reckon this will go like --it off a stainless shovel, it looks very meaningful - perhaps all 3 wheelers will be built to this standard one day .

I'll say that yesterday was a very lucky day for me...

Under the promise of secrecy I was given the coordinates of Pete's new shop; the front of it boarded over like a long vacant building, as I arrived in ACE#10. Around back, Pete paused for a moment to take in the return of his former 3-wheeled creation.

After a brief tour of the concealed location, I followed Pete in ACE 2.0 to an appropriate road and noticed that 2.0's exhaust note was the first that I've ever heard over my own V-Twin Harley's song, ever.

We stopped after some high speed twisties, with me hungrily eating 2.0's dust, and stood in the Winter sun to admire the two ACE siblings...



Pete then took some time at #10's wheel, to reminisce and reacquaint with its manners, compared to 2.0.

I was then lucky enough to be brought along for the shock of 2.0's early capabilities; howling crackling exhaust while being pushed into the un-upholstered foam passenger seat, the incredible sing of the nearside drilled disc rotor (an arm-span from my ears) on hard braking! Yes, Pete has successfully born his "bug-eyed and ethereal" prophecy into reality...

IMHO; 2.0 is amazing already and still so much more to come!

From the side, this car has an incredible look
I like the look a little less, in fact, I will have integrated the lights as on a Jaguar type D
however it must be very fun to drive

Looking good👍

Wow! Lucky you.

I think it looks fantastic.

Very nicely done!

To design and build something like this from scratch is quite an accomplishment. Really like the concept of mid engine and shaft drive.

Looking forward to seeing more.

Any cockpit photos?
