Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 The Super 3

I configured one with lots of options, which came to just over £60k.

It does seem a solid-looking machine - no plastic and water resistant. It would be nice to have that same quality of switchgear and instrument surrounds in the 4-wheelers.

Looking forward to Roger's, Ian's. and others views from the event last night - I presume no-one is allowed yet to look under the bonnet or bootlid.

My initial view:
Wins: modularity for side luggage etc (presuming they can make that waterproof!);
+ new body design in total;
+ front wheel design although I'm surprised they didnt offer a (hugely expensive option of a) wire wheel alternative at the launch

Loses: lower engine torque at low revs will change this to a cruiser rather than a 3-wheeled bike? I saw some hints of them using the 3 cyl turbo (Super 3 Super? ) in future which would address that, although if a turbo fitted they could have used the 1l 3cyl turbo from the start...
+ side blades trailing edge looks clumsy being straight (angle or crescent indent might have been more in keeping)
+ front cowl-and-below looks too fussy (beware kerbs with the steering rack as your "bumper"!
+ that custom tyre is for sure not going to be easy to source!

Unknowns: where does the exhaust run - along the side / sill? Could get warm ...
+ did they fix the engineering snafus (BB mount, rear brake access, rear wheel bearings et al ) from the old car?

Annoyances: if they could "fix" the bevel box for this, why not for the 2012-21 model?

Could open the way to a possible retro-fit?

I didn't think I would like it....but I do
I Like the idea and theme of the jet age retro and it seems to fit that very well, it's a different retro look and feel and not competing with modern age vehicles and styling but has it's own agenda, which is nice to see
I would hope the sound reflects the look

It looks a much more professional and integrated design than the cobbled together previous three wheeler.

Overall I like it - with some reservations.

It's too wide, too heavy and should have the option of a proper windscreen.

As always the proof will be in the pudding.

It is very wide - 8 inches wider than the Plus Four, if I’m reading things right!

There is a decent-looking single-piece windscreen in the options.

I like it at first impressions. I do think they should have moved to shaft drive.

I'm not particularly impressed. The Super 3 is too big for a MTW (and far too wide) and too futuristic for my taste. I don't want to see digital instruments in a Morgan. The missing grille and weird luggage rack doesn't make it any better. But I could imagine that the Super 3 would appeal to younger buyers. Despite all the criticism of the design, that thing will definitely be fun to drive...
