Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Age range of M3W customers?

It occurred to me that many or even most of the people ordering a M3W may be in the older rather than younger bracket, given that a certain amount of disposable income would be required and there really is no way it could be used in any way other than as a pure toy, at least not on a regular basis.

It would also be interesting to hear the reasons that various people have for wanting, and more important, justifying to others and themselves,a M3W purchase.

To start things off, I will not be seeing 60 again [sadly], and have always liked the idea of minimilist motoring, and once bought a watercooled Morgan for £13/10/00 in my teens, though sadly it wasn't in roadworthy condition and I didn't have the knowledge or the funds to restore it. Ever since I've looked longingly at the kit three wheelers, but have never liked them enough to actually buy one, but the Morgan really ticks all of the boxes, and I have justified it to SWMBO by treating it as an investment [kind of....]

I have met 3 Belgian on the "I ordered one" list: all of them between 30 and 45

but the youngest-minded I met was Aeroman!!!!!

At 47 when ordering Mars 2011.
Expecting delivery early 2012... atleast before 49!?

First Morgan but not the first U.K classic's.

I was 52 when I ordered mine, 53 now and I hope I get it while I'm still young !!

was 60 when I ordered mine, looks like I will be at least 62 by the time I get it.

I'm 57, and have successfully retained a high level of immaturity.

Does in matter not in my books.

Fine, that's OK.

Looks like I'm the youngblood so far. 32 now, will order once I see some well sorted out examples. Hope to have one delivered by 34. First Morgan.

I always wanted a car with some character that I would keep for a long time. I've toyed with the idea of a 1973 Porsche RSR replica, or a replica 356 Speedster, (Although if money was no object I'd get an Emory Outlaw 356 Coupe), a replica "Street" 65 Shelby Cobra (No rollbar or side exhaust) from ERA or Superformance. Basically settling on replica this or that since it's all I could realistically afford. My requirements were rare, bespoke, easy to work on, timeless, affordable to buy and maintain.

Enter the M3W. It checks all of these boxes and beats every one of the previous cars on my list in literally every aspect. Add to it that my father is a big Harley guy so he would get a kick out of it too, plus it gets great gas mileage and is HOV approved...it's a slam dunk.

It checks all the boxes for me other than the price. I would love to daily drive one of these, but that just doesnt seem to be in the cards...
