I do, but never say never. And I still have a four-wheeled Morgan.

I for one am fascinated by what he's up to now. 3Gs, please keep it coming!
+1 from me too - I'm always interested to see other people's take on a three-wheeler. Keep it up.

Well, heck, We have a plus 8 and know that Morgans are not up to quality standards. Having said that, when I paid that kind of money for a hand built vehicle, I did expect more. Instead I have an engine that has no replacement parts, and while the 2018 fixed a lot of the early problems, I wonder if in a few years I have a $50,000 vehicle that sits in my garage because the damn thing cannot fixed!
this is in response to the comment about this being only a Morgan forum
If Pete had still been building his, I would have ordered one in a heart beat

No need to worry about having a $50k vehicle that can't be fixed, because if that's the case it won't be worth much at all. Having a vehicle worth a couple of grand that doesn't run is not so troublesome.

I agree, at that point the engine is a boat anchor And that is a good reason to swap out engines, like an Indian or a Harley.

You beat me to it. A glowing review.
I was thinking today, as TomTom took its vengeance on me on tiny Portugese roads-cum-tracks, that the lack of reverse is a rather more serious omission than English suggests.

A good review. Having owned three other 3 wheelers without a reverse gear, I would say it is a pretty big omission for a £60,000 car. It also says over 3,000 M3W's were made, I thought the accepted number was closer to 2500. It would be interesting to know the actual numbers.
