I am glad I had a M3W. Was fun and looked great.
The Super 3 design is for guys with a different taste.
MMC is moving away from the classics. Time will tell if this is the right decision

Almost 88 Years have passed by in a flash.
Vintage meets modern !
The First F2 produced by Morgan in 1935 takes a cursory look at the MORGAN SUPER 3
This lovely F2 is owned by Paul Isaacs.

Awesome photo. Thanks for posting, Ian. I still think Morgan could have added some sort of chrome grill/cowl option on the front for those wanting a bit of a throwback vibe. However, I think MOrgan has done a good job with the new model and obviously they have made the new car more functional. But I am still happy to keep my M3W.

I think this is the engine used: Ford Duratec 1.5L (non turbo-charged)Attention: this is not the "Dragon"-engine, which is a whole lot alike, but turbo-charged. Now I am trying to figure out if the Duratec has direct injection... thinking of GDI clogging frown

Now I am trying to figure out if the Duratec has direct injection... thinking of GDI clogging frown Morgan Motor Company website clearly states that this is an inline Dragon engine. I think that has variable valve timing. The turbo version is the ecoboost. I believe that the dragon uses a combination of both GDI and port injection, the latter in an attempt to mitigate the problems of valves sooting up. How effective that will be, only time will tell!

Glad that's hidden away, not exactly a looker is it.

Glad that's hidden away, not exactly a looker is it. But nicely configured with a vertical orientation to maximize leg room on the front of a Morgan while stashed under the bonnet.

It looks quite a tall engine too, I wonder what the ground to sump clearance is, MMC has form on this with the 4 wheelers

It's not clear to me how the engine layout maximizes legroom, unless the seats are so far apart that nit allows legs to be beside the engine.
Are they?
