I managed to get a spy photo of the new prototype out on test. ![[Linked Image]](https://cdn.instructables.com/FEA/6Y8K/GQYGKK1L/FEA6Y8KGQYGKK1L.LARGE.jpg) I like that and as a bonus the crumple zone is provided by your knees

At last - they are finally offering a hard top for it. Excellent news. I managed to get a spy photo of the new prototype out on test. I think it is no MTW hard top - MORGAN plans to go back to the roots. What you see is a prototyp on a test drive. A MORGAN light weight racer with a roll cage. It looks incomplete that suggests it will be offered to the customers soon.

I believe that emissions for motorbikes are due to come in soon and I am guessing the S&S engine is a bit dirty.
Would be a good time to bring out a leccy one? The leccy one is now long overdue. As to ICE engined ones, Guzzi have Euro 5 compliant engines. How great would a Guzzi engined M3W be ?

Semi-italian, now I wonder who might have an interest in that  It would be interesting to see if it was more expensive or cheaper. I doubt that S&S engine is cheap. Also the power-band and experience would be very different?
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Yes, looks good on the Pembleton, too Frank!
As for the X-Wedge, rumour has it at around £10k, note rumour...

When I bought a new X-Wedge direct from S&S 2 years ago it cost $10,220 with exchange rate then it would be GBP 7,300.

Apparently Guzzi were contacted as a potential engine supplier when the M3W revival concept was in its early stages. Reading between the lines and being aware of Guzzi policies, it seems likely they were not made fully aware of who Morgan were allied to not contacting the right people.

A couple of implied suggestions here about introducing an electric version. Surely we can't have forgotten this. So it's a question of reviving, rather than introducing. Come on, MMC - I'd buy one!
