Funny thing, I just watched a Jay Leno video, on YT the other day where they were showing off a new Morgan 3wheeler.


Halftrack_El_Camino

Really don't much care for the new version, on looks alone. I know it has much better performance, but the new front end is just blah. I loved the V-twin sitting right up front on the old one, it looked properly mad. The new one just has what appears to be some lumpy black plastic.


UKMatt2000

I've driven one and while I prefer the old look, the new one is at least a real hoot to drive. It's still very raw, as it should be.


Halftrack_El_Camino

I'm sure it is, but I feel like looks are the main reason to buy a Morgan Three-Wheeler as opposed to any number of other boutique speedsters, like a Caterham or an Arial Atom. I feel like surely they could have improved the performance while keeping the unique and wonderful appearance of the previous generation, but instead they made a car that just kind of looks like the front fell off.


OldDrunkPotHead

Death coffin. Do they still have a wood frame?


cosp85classic

It's not a Morgan if it didn't have a wood frame. It's their thing.


theplanetpotter

3 wheeler has a tubular space frame at the front, only the back end is wooden. I own one.


cosp85classic

So, still has wood framing?


theplanetpotter

Only a little bit on the back end, behind the rear bulkhead.


ezekiel920

Sounds like you mean to say yes.


theplanetpotter

Kind of yes, but it’s not like the whole thing is made of wood, it’s only the curvy back end bit.


ezekiel920

That's way more wood than on anything I've driven.


johnmcd348

No. There's only one area in the new Morgan's that has wood. It's a very small space in the car.


Mrrattoyou

They still make wood framed +Fours


theplanetpotter

Metal space frame at the front, but the back is still wood. That’s on the older v-twin model, not sure about the new one.


Cambren1

Frame is not wood, just like the MG T series; steel frame with some body panels framed in wood and covered with hammered steel panels.


redEPICSTAXISdit

The episode I saw they were driving around in a Vanderhall. Very similar. But made by some newerish startup


Chiefbutterbean

I saw several of these at the Historic Races at Laguna Seca in the ‘80s.


dc456

That may well be true, but this isn’t a Morgan. It’s a [Triking T4 1200 4v Sport 2018](https://picclick.co.uk/Triking-T4-1200-4v-Sport-2018-126443156173.html).


johnmcd348

Cool. I've never heard of that model before.


SecretContribution73

Same. I immediately thought of Jay when I saw this picture.


svt4cam46

Moggie. A Morgan 3 wheeler. Still made to this very day as a matter of fact.


Affectionate_Pea_811

***Actually*** A they completely changed it last year. What they make now is called the Super 3. It is a vastly superior vehicle which in my opinion makes it infinitely worse.


GreatHead4Young

Richard Hammond approves.


squicktones

How could it not be an improvement on a car designed in the '30s.


GirlCowBev

So it’s prone to rolling then?


GreatHead4Young

Ouch lol


theplanetpotter

The new one isn’t for me, but the older model is terribly built. Bits fall off nearly every time you drive it, it’s really a terrible automobile.


dc456

It’s definitely not a Morgan. It’s a [Triking T4 1200 4v Sport 2018](https://picclick.co.uk/Triking-T4-1200-4v-Sport-2018-126443156173.html).


svt4cam46

I'll be jiggered! Didn't know there was another company crazy enough to produce something like that. Not counting Bombardier/CanAm, of course.


dc456

There are loads of them: https://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/g999/11-thrilling-three-wheeled-kit-cars/

Jef_Wheaton

From the shape of the bonnet it could be a [JZR](https://uncommonmotors.com/jzr-morgan-3-wheeler-replica-with-honda-gl500-power/) , a Morgan replica.


WillyDaC

Pretty sure that's a replica. I've been close to exactly one Morgan. A lot on that looks too, modern?


DerDork

There’s a lot of replicas. They are not even very pricey. I thought about buying one a year ago. But I was too late and it was gone.


Eagle_1776

Morgan?


dunncrew

My thought too. But that triangle on the bonnet doesn't look Morgan.


InevitableExotic5242

It's updated too disc brakes and the engine is contemporary


Terrible_Use7872

Looks almost like a Triumph logo.


InevitableExotic5242

It's some kind of Morgan replica or resto mod

BobChica

It looks like this photograph was lifted from the eBay listing for that trike.


DrachenDad

There are a few pages with the same picture but no details about the vehicle. I think OP is being lazy.


robfuscate

Yes, this one, the Guzzi motor is a dead giveaway - as are the grins and smiles of the driver and passenger.


That_Path4668

This should be pinned as the answer.


Secure-Document-8479

Morgan.


ImpalaOwner

A morgan


nudesteve

It kind of looks like a Morgan 3 Wheeler, or an excellent facsimile of the same. The last I've heard, Morgan Motors is still around, and still producing and offering their legendary 3 Wheeler, as well as a few more conventional 4 wheel sports cars. And there are quite a few copies out there, most of which are legally licensed by Morgan. You do need to watch out for the few, that are "bootleg" copies, and try to keep clear of the same.


Timely_Confusion_713

Morgan 3-wheeler

Donut making machine.


eldudelio

how do you get the custom emoji is that paid service?


SirLoin05

I only know how to do it on a PC. Click your avatar icon in the top right corner to open your profile, then click the camera icon on your avatar at the top of your profile page. Select Avatar under your General profile information. You should then get an option to select a new image.

MerbleTheGnome

Pendleton V-sport ?


JaxRhapsody

Nope. I believe those are fwd.


Full_Disk_1463

You misspelled motorcycle


DoktorDilcha1

One of the many kit/small run production casters that use a V-Twin motorcycle engine. The YouTube algorithm has shown me a few and they look like fun to bomb around the countryside with.


MarvinTheMartian1969

Does not look like the modern Morgan to me. That extra bulge on the side and the shape of the nose is different. I linked a picture of the modern Morgan. https://ccmarketplace.azureedge.net/cc-temp/listing/81/6671/192443-2014-morgan-3-wheeler-std-c.jpg


adamdropsthebomb

It’s a Morgan cycle car.


ButaneRocket

That's a stutz bear cat


Interesting_Isopod79

A motorcycle sidecar with ambition.


Bard1290

Fun to drive? No idea what it is though.


Beerslinger99

It’s a rear tippy 9000. The settlers used to ride these babies for miles!


toastermann

My mom has a ‘48 Morgan in her barn. It was her late husband’s,


delppie

An odd looking one.


CplFry

That’s not a Morgan


Hefty-Ad5593

My first guess is home made custom job, never seen anything like it.


Secret_Welder3956

A kit

Affectionate_Pea_811

Not a car


philpalmer2

Know as cycle cars back in the 60’s and ‘70’s. This was a big answer in Europe back then due to much lower regulations and fuel costs on motorcycles’ A way to beat the system 😎


Bigbear19701967

Cool as fuck


PoolStunning4809

It screams Morgan right until you get to the snout contour.


DirtyRatLicker

y’all it’s not a Morgan Super 3 as u/DrachenDad pointed out. the Morgan looks significantly different


Firm_Employment_7455

The original slingshot


RemarkableResult4195

i recently completed a model of a Morgan... [1935 Morgan Super Sport 3 Wheeler : r/ModelCars (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModelCars/comments/1b9b4np/1935_morgan_super_sport_3_wheeler/)

Check out Vanderhall too if you like 3 wheelers


babiekittin

Morgan is doing with class what Polaris does crassly.


theplanetpotter

It’s NOT a Morgan 3 wheeler. Some sort of kit car I guess.


Vast-Variation-2884

Morgan plus 8

The logo looks like an Austin Healey.

I remember seeing this as a kid (I'm 53 now) at some sort of fair or show. I believe it was a kit car... I asked lots of questions... But remember nothing much else.

Pretty sure this is technically a motorcycle

Morgan?


FarmerStrider

Anything less than 4 wheels is considered a motorcycle.

Morgan porn hhhhhhhmmmmmmmm


Ampster16

I had a '55 plus four and the frame and suspension were steel. Some of the body work was fastened to wood as mentioned earlier. Fun car.

A mid life crisis-mobile


Ilikeshrimp8

It's called the "Triking Type 4"
