+8Rich is right. The discs are inboard but unlike the Citroen you can get to them! Good positive feel too, but then it's so light. Good to relearn cadence braking.
. Love the car and glad that you can get to those brakes. In 1977 I had the discs replaced on my Dyanne and it cost more than the car!

Looking at the pictures, I got the feeling that the cockpit and body are small...I'm thinking the lead designer might be 5 ft. tall.
I cannot find a picture of this vehicle with two people in it.
One picture of a man sitting in the cockpit looks like he's sitting on a box, sticking way out in the breeze. I wonder how tall he is?
Certainly good engineering, but I wonder if I would fit in it. At 6ft, my 3W is a bit tight for me. Does the Pembleton accommodate different heights?
I'm looking forward to a real road test.

Actually quite spacious as there's no tunnel. You also drive with legs much straighter (but no pedal adjustment, but has anyone ever moved their M3W pedals forward?) The scuttle is lower so you get more wind in your hair that's for sure, it's me in the pics and I'm same height as you. :-)

There is a comparison between a Pembleton Super Sport and a M3W Brooklands by Nigel Pitt in the June edition of the Morgan three Wheeler Club Bulletin magazine https://www.mtwc.co.uk/news-post/. I have to agree with your comment about sitting on it rather than in it, that seems to be a common problem with many Morgan 3 Wheeler type kit cars, my JZR's were the same. The M3W is heavy by comparison to many kits but it is generally bigger.

Of course the Pembleton name was synonymous with kits but for several years they have only manufactured the VSport as a complete car. Of course it's diminutive size reflects a very critical eye on weight saving. They are a quite a different proposition to a kit. Sadly my M3W felt DIY :-(

I enjoyed the Pitt article, although I get the feeling that the V Sport is an altogether better vehicle than the Super Sport.
