Hello everybody
I don't have a Morgan yet but I am very keen to get one in about 6-12 months time.
I am currently rebuilding the front of our house and this is taking all of my time and money.
This work will however increase the size of our garage, the plan then is to buy a Morgan project to rebuild.
I popped into Allon White Sports Cars earlier this week just to see the M3W in the flesh.
They let me sit in it but at 6'4" it was a bit of a squeeze.
I don't know how some of our American cousins are going to get on...
Cheers.
No Morgan yet...

Welcome to the Forum Morph  . At least on a Trad 4 wheeler the seats can be moved back. I dont know if Morgan would be able to 'Stretch' the cabin on the new trike if ordered bespoke (like a cabin footwell front extention  ). Maybe worth asking with so much 'Forward Planning' available.

Apparently, the pedal setup can be moved back and forth on the M3W, so if it was leg length you struggled with, it could be that it was set up for a shorter person than you. Welcome

Thanks for the welcomes. Apparently, the pedal setup can be moved back and forth on the M3W, so if it was leg length you struggled with, it could be that it was set up for a shorter person than you. I did ask that as I could see how long the passenger foot well was and I was told it couldn't be (?) Maybe he meant it couldn't be adjusted there and then. It perhaps could be at the factory. It's not an issue as I dont think I will be buying a new M3W!

As far as I'm aware there are three pedal positions. But it's more than a 5 minute job and requires spanners. Dealer can do it. Perhaps when Mike & Ben Duncan get their 3W back you could try there - much closer to you, too.

Welcome Morph......yes, pop down to Mike Duncans...he and his son Ben are great and it's like being on the set of Heartbeat! And John Worrall at Heart of England is right next door with a shop full of shiny Morgan goodies! They are my local...I'm just outside Bromsgrove but otherwise I'd use Allon Whites. Just got back from there today after dropping off the car for one of their hoods and a tonneau cover.
JTL.......you'll have to fight me as well over the 3 Wheeler. I'm just waiting for Mike to have it back from the factory once the charging is sorted!
Actually Morph....unless you are rather....ahem.....bulky as well as tall, you should have a look at Mike and Ben. They are not exactly short and can drive the 3 Wheeler.
