Quite a lot of whine from the rear of the car..just saying  Yes, but Shmee says that will be sorted out for the production cars so that's OK.

He certainly seems to like the attention from others when driving the 3 wheeler! Interesting to hear the noise, and his complaint of wind in his face  To be honest he has got quite a fat head so suspect he’s going to be affected by the wind to a much greater extent than normal

Latest update here in Belgium:
- dealer cars will be built / delivered in August / September (my guess will be September) where they were originally promised for April / May
- I was supposed to spec mine in June for delivery September
We are nearing the end of July and I still did not need to finalise the spec. My guess will be final spec September / October, and delivery December '22 or January '23.
That is, if there aren't any additional delays.

This month's Octane magazine has reviews of both the Super3 and the Liberty ACE 2.0 - now known as the F6. The Super3 was one of the prototypes and the tester was very positive. The overall feel of the car is praised as is the engine sound with the optional sports exhaust which Mark Dixon likened to a "big-carbed rally spec MK1 Escort . However he does pick out bevel box noise (which MMC are still working on) and the front suspension crashing when hitting potholes. For the ACE Andrew English is very positive overall but it sounds as if it's smaller than the Super3 and the lack of luggage space limits it's practicality. It also currently has no reverse gear. Pete Larson will supply ACE to Europe (one is in build for Norway) but they will be Left Hand Drive only as the cost of converting to RHD is prohibitively high. Also the ACE is about £54k so more than a reasonably spec'd Super3....

Update for the US: I just received this via email from the dealer yesterday:
Morgan Motor Company is excited to confirm plans for entry of Super 3 into the USA. The company is currently completing the necessary homologation work and plans for Super 3 demonstrators to reach USA Dealerships in the first quarter of 2023.
Not sure what it means for customers deliveries! Mine was supposed to arrive in April 2023 but it is most likely be June-July... not sure!

Also the ACE is about £54k so more than a reasonably spec'd Super3.... The red ACE f-6 that Andrew English drove now has electric reverse (f-6s have a sequential transmission) that Pete can use going forward, and the dimensions are on the Liberty Motors website's specs page if interested. The Carrera GT Silver ACE f-6 is being road tested before transport to Norway where she will live next to Harley ACE #9. I have pics of Andrew English's drive and of the silver Norway ACE that I'll get around to posing in the 'New ACE' thread. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems Morgan is trying resolve some things with the Super 3, like BB whine, before customer deliveries. This seems like a very good thing from Morgan, and maybe a new strategy from their Italian ownership, even if it means delays.

Shmee mentioned the width a few times, and for him to comment that vans on the other side of the roads were a bit scary when he normally drives huge supercars, would make me too nervous to drive it with brio in its natural environment of country lanes.
