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

Pete is busy away in his secret lair, refining multiple systems to his very high standards and now estimating 20-30% more power (injectors & ECU) than when I had the privilege of a ride in 2.0 prototype; and it was more than enough then!

So when will 2.0 be done? When it's ready, and it won't be ready until it's right...

I've put way more miles on ACE #10 than my M3W; before I cut the Morgan from my roster. From my comparative experiences, Pete is not one to get to 'good enough', and then leave the rest as part of the 'experience'.

I'm sure there will be more pics, once all of the systems are dialed in and he completes paint / upholstery.

I also believe that the first run of 6 frames are already spoken for.

I did not realize we were racing. However, I did manage to dodge the rocks in the road and any ice, water and snow that was across the road. Did you repair that rock ding yet?

That reminds me of a sailor's saying...
Q:"when are sailboats racing?"
A:"when two sailboats are going the same direction!"


It's concealed, easy with it being on the very bottom forward edge, but not a proper repair; at least fiberglass is easier to fix than metal IMO. For now it's still somewhat a 'badge of courage'.




PM me though, when you want to have another go, but let's stick to ACE 2.0 topics on this thread...

Only a few people have been a passenger in ACE 2.0 and now the first customer got his chance to test his mettle and test Pete's new metal...

My own jealousy aside, Pete has known 'Mr.K' for a long time (name protected to hide the lucky one). In fact Mr.K still owns his Super Dry M3W that was photographed beside Pete's own ACE#13 (ACE of Clubs) in Peter Dron's Morgan 3 Wheeler book. Also worthwhile to note that Mr. K tracks his Porsche 911 GT3.

Here is Mr. K's own cell phone comment on his very fine day...

The new Ace 2.0 should be called an Ace 5.0! The new ACE drives like a seated, balanced sports bike with amazing turn in to corners! Perfect linear power delivery, amazing sound, an in your face driving position with great visibility, and just inches off the ground! The ACE was easy to shift with a Honda sequential gearbox, no missed gears, and immediately checked all the race car like boxes! The drive left a very big smile on my face! Having owned a Porsche GT3, and a current M3W Superdry, this new evolution from Pete is just the beginning of a very special vehicle! I need to strap in and fire it up once again! Bravo Pete!

Pete added to me that he also got to hear 2.0's exhaust note, with Mr. K driving, and the coming and going Doppler effect, and his resulting satisfaction of that auditory goal's achievement!

A professional video is a must!

I bet you would have trouble catching it on the Hurricane Ridge Road😊

Fiberglass is indeed much easier to repair than the aluminum I am forced to deal with. I think Morgan keeps making aluminum bodies is that they can sell more of them (just bodies).

This is the prettiest reverse trike I've seen.

Love the wheels and tires; does anyone know what they are?

And does anyone know what Pete's plans are for this, i.e. will he be selling them or is it just a personal endeavor?

His web site doesn't mention anything about it.

The tires are Excelsior Stahl Sport Radial, 500R16 (a true radial tire) and the wheels are specially built w/16" Boranni 40 spoke Aluminum rims, similar to those used on vintage Mille Miglia racers.

My take is that Pete is not pursuing prospects to buy this new ACE, but will consider candidates for the 6 frames he has, when the time is right. I do know that there are some reservations already made.

Pete has been finalizing the details, larger custom aluminum radiators/fans, interior and trim, steering wheel, badging, etc.

I’m sure there will be a significant update soon…

Looking forward to pics.

Very much so...
