+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.
I definitely drive it more slowly than the M3W as the soft ride takes some getting used to and it leans/rolls. The later models have slightly stiffer suspension. Have covered about 500miles this summer and have a much better feel for it now. One unexpected bonus it's really practical. Tilt the seat back forward and there's your storage plus the 'glove box goes the length of the bonnet (or hood LOL). I always hankered after the polished ali bodied Brooklands M3W as I loved the look and Autoglym metal polish and a chordless polisher do the job quite easily. Sounds fantastic. You can enjoy safe three-wheel driving now. I have had a look at the Pembleton web site which is nicely done. Great looking cars with some interesting details and really like the look of the T24. However having just read through some of the posts on the Pembleton forum, to say that they are totally sorted and any safer than the M3W is clearly incorrect  Gee Obie, you need to be really careful what you read on forums....

For sure the kit cars are another era and they only build a complete car today which is different in so many ways. I can only say that as a past owner of an M3W and a current owner Pembleton VSport (no 2), there is no contest in design, build and engineering. But I guess Pembleton have had much longer to perfect their car before starting production as a series. The M3W strikes me as having so may compromises to just get something on the road. Heavy engine, a mainstream car gear box, screaming bevel box, whining toothed pulley and a rear sprocket that lasts so few miles (at least mine did) not to mention the cracked chassis and an inability to close the footwell which most car manufacturers since 1910 have been able to do. If you start with the idea of a fun to drive lightweight three wheeler and a clean sheet you wouldn't design an M3W. The VSport is continually improved and I will get my new one in February and it has none of the myriad issues that Morgan owners resign themselves to for a few years before they bail out. Sad to say. Well cubemark, I think you may be another name off the Morgan Christmas card list......

I do like the Pembletons. Maybe a bit low (and maybe slow... ), and of course FWD is more "practical" than "fun" versus RWD. Then again 2CVs can be fun too  Look forward to more updates from our ex-M3W defectors!

Looks very interesting !  I do have my doubts of it becoming available here in the USA though. Anxiously waiting to hear something positive.

My understanding is that they may export their two turnkey models to the US in kit form. They have no dealers anywhere.

Thanks. I sent an email as well, but I hadn't heard anything yet.
