Brand new vintage? Must be a Morgan.

A brand new car that looks eighty years old?  Yes, that’s the classic Morgan formula.  Sure, the Aero looks semi-modern, but that’s not what anyone thinks of when Morgan comes up.

These three-wheelers were brought back to the market recently and was the recently the only Morgan officially sold in the US.  This is because they are technically motorcycles.  These vehicles marked a revival, as Morgan sold three-wheelers in the 1930, as well.

Shouldn’t everyone own a Morgan at some point?

Engine is a v-twin motorcycle engine of relatively vast displacement.  These are made by S&S in Wisconsin, known for replacement engines and parts for Harleys.

This might be the only time center guages are okay.

Don’t plan on bringing a whole lot of luggage.  Luckily, there is, however, more storage in the front trunk, as you might have noticed the engine is mounted ahead of it.

 Our 2012 Morgan 3 Wheeler demonstrator is now available.  This is a low mileage example of Morgan Motor Company’s newest model.  Painted in factory Sport Red with a Saddle Brown leather interior, this Morgan is like new.  It is factory equipped with the optional Bright Pack and tonneau cover and is powered by a 1976 cc S & S v-twin mated to a fully synchro 5 speed gearbox.  The 3 wheeler’s performance is outstanding.  Zero to 60 times are under 7 seconds with a top speed of 115 mph.  This example has recently been upgraded with a factory Comfort Pack for improved steering feel.  Like all Morgans, it utilizes Morgan’s ash body frame under the aluminum skin.  It even has a convenient boot (Trunk) for storage as well as an upgraded steering wheel for a sportier look in the cockpit.
