I am enjoying the new S3 configurator (US) / configurer (UK):
  • matt colour might be a good alternative to the pricey decorative logos etc
  • kite decal breaks up the side blades
  • not sure how well the side carriers will work with typical road muck / light fingered brigade when parked - probably the rear luggage rack is still more practical for long distance touring vs picnics
  • full windscreen looks bland compared to the M3W's (Morgan or Fairbourne) and misses the central strut to put on a rear view mirror
  • footwell heater is probably a good idea vs the heated seats (which will probably vary with your view on the latter - I have them and dont use them)

I went up to Morgan London with my woman to see it this.

Mightily impressed with it. Great detail and more impressive in real live.

Loads of leg room too.

Can’t wait for delivery day

Matte is nice, but I am afraid of issues when it requires some paint retouching because of scratches etc.
Right about the kite decal, but the side blades aren't that shocking IRL. They blend in. In the configurator they stand out a lot more, I agree.
I presume it should be ok-ish, better than the previous one as they adapted the mudguards over the front wheels to throw less spray (you won't get it all over your face when driving through a puddle in a sharp turn this time), but pretty sure they will look horrid after a ride in the rain. Then again so will the rear rack because of turbulence.
Heaters are a good idea. Can't have enough of those laugh

Agree 100% about heaters...
The Plus 8 has good seat heaters, a powerful footwell heater but no heated steering wheel.

As I used to say when riding a bike with a heated seat, heated grips and a heated jacket, any fool can be cold!

So much for the motorbike engine as mentioned by a Morgan spokesperson in an earlier interview. Earlier speculation on this forum about which motorbike engine Morgan was going to use detracted from other speculation discussion regarding other expected features of the next gen 3 wheeler.

The 1.5 non-turbo Ford car engine is not sold in the US so it's not (yet) EPA certified. The question then is, will FORD UK, EPA certify the engine for Morgan (as S&S did with the the V-Twin)? Will Morgan pay for EPA certification? (higher cost and longer wait time.) Will Morgan send the Super3 to the US sans engine where the turbo version would be installed? Note: The same engine in turbo form was offered in the 2021 ECO-Sport mini SUV so EPAed, now only the 2.0l is sold in the USA.

The Super 3 is being promoted in the US with a $70,000 price tag and availability in the third quarter of 2022. I read an article that said they were waiting for final certification, so it appears ths process is underway.
