After nearly 60 years of strictly producing four-wheeled
automobiles, Morgan Motor Company revived their beloved tricycle
designs with the aptly named 3 Wheeler. Introduced at the 2011
Geneva Motor Show, the Morgan 3 Wheeler wore its inspirations on
its aluminum "bullet" hull; taking its styling equally from a
medley of World War I fighter planes and the belly tank racers that
dominated the dry lake beds of Southern California. Vintage
warbird-inspired details included its twin side-exit exhaust
outlets, "bomb release" starter button, and vintage-style tube type
wheels.
A 2.0-liter S&S V-Twin engine sat proudly on display between
the front wheels, sending 83 horsepower to the back tire through an
engaging five-speed manual transmission from the Mazda MX-5. This
was more than enough for a vehicle weighing just 1,159 pounds dry;
enabling an estimated zero-to-sixty time of under six seconds and a
top speed of 115 mph. The Morgan 3 Wheeler was homologated as a
motorcycle in the United States, but its appearance was unlike
anything seen on modern roads.
This 2018 Morgan 3 Wheeler is classically finished in Sport Green
with a contrasting Sport Grey stripe and red accents on the hood.
The cockpit features exquisite Yarwood BRK Honey leather upholstery
and Cream quilted stitching. According to its Morgan Motor Company
Chassis Record, it was further specified with the Polished engine
pack, Polished cowl, Heated seats, Black dash pack, Aero Racing
lowering kit, Union Jack badges, and more.
Built in June 2018, this example was delivered to authorized Morgan
dealer Northshore Sports Cars in Lake Bluff, Illinois. It has
primarily been displayed in the consignor's diverse vehicle
collection in Pennsylvania and has accumulated just 385 miles at
cataloging. It is now offered with its original delivery items
including owner's handbook in branded pouch, matching green mohair
tonneau cover, and knock-off wheel tools in their protective
leather case.
Offered today with such limited mileage, this 2018 Morgan 3 Wheeler
presents a rare opportunity to experience one of contemporary
motoring's most charismatic and unconventional machines. Visceral,
engaging, and delightfully mechanical at virtually any speed, it
delivers an unforgettable sense of occasion behind the wheel while
guaranteeing smiles and conversations wherever the adventure may
lead.
