I’m sure Morgan will do a great job of the styling and it will run like a dream. But for me the magic of the original 5 speeder with the big S&S up front is lost in the new car. It is such a shame when Morgan had ironed out all the issues (almost) it had to come to an end. Thank you EU NOT! I hope the original gets a good send off, lots of photos and videos of the last car made. We are never going to see a car like the 5 speeder go into production again. We were so lucky to have had it in the first place! Good luck to the new one. I agree, it does nothing for me. The character of the M3W (the V twin) has gone. Just like the original 3 wheelers as it happens..

I like the idea of a 3 wheeler with a soft top - do you think they'll make that frame removable?

The roll cage is purely for development testing, as per the report.

Interesting - the bonnet has much more rake to it. Hard to tell if it's higher in the rear or lower in the front than today's car - probably a bit of both. Steering rack moves to the front like the Ace. No sign of a radiator in the front. Bonnet has a seam running down the middle - does that mean a "butterfly" style opening like on the 4 wheelers? Rear wheel only has a fender on it - no bodywork - hopefully just a prototype thing. I'd hate to see the rear wheel hung out back like on a Vanderhall.

And a disc rear brake... that may provide some useful bits for upgrading the current M3W.

Why not have both?!
Looks to be enough bolted on cammo and missing panels to disguise a potentially beautiful EV' aesthetic. I trust MMC to get that right. Factor in reduced cost of ownership (i.e. fewer vulnerable parts) that might finally justify current pricing?

Listening to the new video tour of the factory and design center I would not be surprised if it is an EV M3W.

I would not be surprised if it is an EV M3W. Let's hope the battery will last longer than my Roomba. Both in terms of time and distance.
