One of my oldest friends, Laurie Ball (an Aussie like me) had one of these in WWII when he was a navigator on a Lancaster Bomber in the UK. He said the Lanc was fun to fly in, but the Morgan three wheeler was closer to heaven. A brave man and greatly missed. Thanks Jay!

Sean Coyne my great uncle was in a Lancaster, he was actually on the raid that bombed the tirpitz, on his 27th mission, his Lancaster caught fire over Holland, he was a rear gunner so he didn't get out in time. He's currently in Holland somewhere, the funny thing is that they spelled the last name wrong on the memorial.

The fact that Jay finds these vehicles, saves and restores them, then shares them with us over the internet shows what a kindhearted person he is. Hes is truly to be admired.

I love the rear end design of this old Morgan,especially with the integrated spare wheel 🙂

My grandpa had one of those 9 that came to Australia but he had the only one that was raced in a Grand Prix in Point Cook near Melbourne. He tells me it is the most fun car he ever had and regrets selling it everyday.

I happened to find this site by accident, and didn't realize until today, just how nice Mr Leno is. Ive never actually watched his show and never thought that he had a life beyond showbiz. Im glad that he has such a collection of important things, because engineering and the motor industry is such an important thing in todays throwaway world. Good luck to him, may he live long and prosper.

In the UK a three wheeled vehicle is classed as motor bike & sidecar. Jays knowledge of vehicles and knowledge of the period and how the cars were viewed at the time they were made is phenomenal. It is clear he enjoys driving the old cars that you "feel" the machine and the road simultaneously.

Back when cars had real character. I got to see one of these in a farm shed in rural Australia alongside other old classics and a fully restored 1908 Stoewer. Awesome to see people keeping these cars alive👍

Thanks for that Jay. My Dad had a 1938 Super Sports 3 wheeler with the Matchless air cooled 1000cc engine. Same body style as your 32 model. Said it was the most exciting car he ever owned. Being a motorcycle racer and tuner in the 40s he'd managed to get about 90 hp out of the engine. They used to race these in motorcycle and sidecar events, carrying a passenger to hang off when necessary. Apparently the very top racing model had a Blackburn engine which I heard put out 130 hp, but that may be hearsay. Anyway, my Dad had to sell his and buy a lowly Austin 7when I came along in 1949. I don't think he ever forgave me.

Jay leno"s Garage is the best show on KZread No other show comes close to the amount of content that he puts out with each one of his episodes. Its not just about the cars, its also about the amazing people that are behind the making of these works of art and amazing machinery, and the history of it all, and he grasps each and everyone of those points every time. Great Series Jay, keep up the Great work. I just wanted to let you know all of us enjoy your work and this hobby, thanks for sharing!

That looks like an absolute blast to drive.. Thanks Jay.

This video is old, but still love seeing these.

I like these videos because it reminds me of taking long trips with my dad as a kid. He spends more time talking to you than he does paying attention to the road. Then you are in constant fear of him getting into an accident. Good times, good times.

This car ws restored by the Beers family in Canada. I saw it in Washington DC when it won a trophy at the national Morgan meet in the 1980s.

We still dabble in the odd 3 wheeler here and there lol. Thanks for the credit 👍

"The nice thing is, you have an accident, they just bury you in the whole car." Good one, Jay - LMAO!

It would be fun just to watch Jay riding around town in his cars with a big smile on his face. Such a sight would certainly make me happy, too!

"you don't need a tach, you can just look out and watch it"...Jay, you're too funny.

Jay Lenos Garage is what American Top Gear should have been.

+juntistik Yes, And it doesn't have Jeremy Clarkson braying on about how lousy every American car since the Model A has been which puts it ahead of British Top Gear as well. I don’t think Jay would punch anyone for not having a steak for him either.

This is awesome. I have been there once and really enjoyed it. I wish I could go again and BBQ some baby back ribs and hang out at the garage. Being a mechanic for over 30 years his garage is like 'fantasy land.' Jay and his garage are awesome.

I never was a fan of his version of the Tonight Show...However I love watching the clips he uploads about his automobiles. He really knows and loves cars.

I just love this car. My dad had 3 trikes: a red '36 Beetleback SS, a BRG '51 2-place barrelback, and a blue '51 4-place barrelback. I loved those cars - as well as the 4-wheel Morgans which dad was a dealer for in the 1950s. I myself own a '54 2-place +4. Bob Oker drove dad's '54 Morgan to a number of wins. Dad brought the first AC Bristol into the USA in '56 and Bob went on to win many races with that...

I've always wondered what these sound and drive like and now I know. Thanks Jay! :)

Watching your clips I know why you can't invite normal people to your garage. Every motorhead would die seeing all those incredible vehicles. but they would die happy! Love it!

I love the old 3 wheelers, they are the most beautiful and romantic cars out there. Gorgeous. This one sounds just like a 60 yr old lawnmower that is really low on compression

Beautiful car, err, motorcycle, err, vehicle (yeah, let's go with vehicle.) I read somewhere that Mr. Morris was racing these in club races in England and got banned. Not because it was a motorcycle, but because the cars in the class couldn't beat it. A lot of cars in the 1930s couldn't go 60 mph, much 80. Thanks Jay for keeping it on the road.

A guy in Massachusetts that I bought my Spitfire from, used to restore and race these and Morgan cars. I remember a picture of him and his passenger up on two wheels, taken just before they rolled. Very interesting guy.

Nothing like a Morgan...Thanks Jay

Such a thorough and humourous showcase. Having experience with a car really shows.

Such a fantastic little car. Thanks Jay, as always, for these reviews. Your self-deprecating humor only adds to the entertainment.

wow, i'm actually impressed with the audio quality considering the amount of wind, props to the sound guy.

Jay, you should really host Top Gear America once your show ends. Seems like it'd be a good post-retirement career.

'They just bury you in the whole car' Thanks for the smile

What a lovable and charming old thing. Morgan not bad either!

It seems that the simpler the car the more exciting it is to listen to J. thanks

'Snoopy vs the Red Baron' sprung to mind, seeing Jay in that thing.

He was really on with the jokes in this one. I especially liked his first; "You've heard of the smart car? this is the dumb car".. and he was right that rag top looks totally stupid! How about his last, if you have an accident they just lower the whole thing into the ground".. And the way that back end hops around? This is the funniest video he's made.

Can't beat the sound of that

Jay looks like the cad from an Agatha Christie murder-mystery in that car. The Morgan three-wheeler is the perfect embodiment of old England. I love the Brough Superior connection with the engine and what a beautiful noise! I've owned a few V-twin motorcycles and I know what Jay means by the machine gun sound of the motor when you gun it. Lots of more powerful vehicles in Jay's Garage, but none more charming. Bravo!

Its a matchless engine, brough merely bought in engines.. Though the rarer and more desirablenMontgomery mc,I've heard made their own, though I wouldnt stake my life on it

I own one for over 22 years, still have fun each time I drive in it.

Flying a world war 1 aeroplane, perfect description! Looks a lot of fun.

the sound is glorious

It looks like the most fun car that I would never want to own. Great episode.

When I was looking for a Morgan after I got out of the Army in 1969, I went to Sutton & Widdefield in West LA. They had several 3 wheelers out back and said that, if I wanted to test drive one, I’d have to crank it myself. Some USC football player came in and cranked it pushing down rather than pulling up. The car reversed cycle and the crank went back and broke the guy’s arm. I ended up buying a 4/4. LOL

Thank you sir, a long day at work and I was going to just rest when I got back to my place but after seeing your excitement about driving and riding it has put me in the mood to exercise my motorcycle too 👊🏻

This is so cool. Thanks Jay! He has an amazing collection and the cool thing that he does is that he shares it!

Great sound.

Looks like a lot of fun. And Morgan is producing the three wheeler again, i believe with a 1.7 liter v-twin.

thanks Jay cool cord , ,,my dad had one in toppenish wa when he was teen ager think it was1937 ,before he went to war, i have 1987 caddi allante way fun to drive thanks for sharring your cars. God bless

Jay has more fun with vehicles than anybody!

turned around and went back to argue with a cop that he deserved a ticket hahahha awesome

I think allMorgans are good looking this is definitely one of them ! i love the “Proper” Dash with the big Smith Guage for some strange reason Smith has always built my favorite style and looking Gauges , Simplistic and easy to read font and color contrast plus Quality looking

From one Boston guy to another, thank you for all the fun videos!

Pretty paint job. Classy complimentary colors. Much nicer than the one Hammond drove.

I love the Morgan. You done a excellent job making this video. I like how you take your collection out and drive them.

thanks again for these great uploads

its new years and you give us a beautiful old Morgan!!

Great to see! Jay Leno is an enthusiast to the core - top man!

Watching your videos has inspired me to fix up my 66 bridgestone 90 sport motorcycle I had it running a few years ago and its so much fun 10hp at 9k rpm 88cc two stroke its sounds so badass and will cruise nice at 55 with the 4 speed cyclical trani you can just keep kicking down or up through all the gears and neutral has its own position instead of being between 1st and 2nd the bike had 1998 miles on it when I got it and still has the original front tire the back tire was on it but I changed it and someone threw away the old one it should be in a museum it will run again if its the last thing I do

And now let's see Jay review the new Morgan Threewheeler. Blows the old one away. 1990cc, 80bhp (at wheel), 115mph and 0-60 in 4.5

Mr Leno comes over as a really nice man.

Love this video. Funky, and funny all in one. Nice job Jay and crew.

One of the only classic cars I really, really love.

Jay, Thanks so much for putting this up. My cousin John Leavens would be very proud to see what you have sone with the car. He certainly loved his.

Thanks for posting this Jay!

Thanks for this. I always wanted to know more about the three wheel Morgans.

Looks like a fun ride, something I would like to drive on a curvy road up here.

J your show is so much fun !!

He did !!! It 's amazing .

Saw one of these going down hwy 90 in deep west Texas a few years ago, Never knew what it was till now. Thanks.

Your videos are a true pleasure. You eventually deserve 100 fold more views.

Absolutely brilliant. Look at how much fun he's having! Lol

I didn't look at the title, and thought Jay was doing a review of the new one. Nope! This is Jay Leno, what was I thinking? Of course he'd have the original!

Jay i watch these vids reguarly I gotta so you have the BEST car collection ive ever seen!

Ohhhh my, how I'd love one of these!

You're my frikkin hero, Jay. Greetings from Georgetown, MA.

Jay, you are the best !

Happy New Year Jay, thanks for doing another fantastic video. Imran from Oldham, England.

Wacky and wonderful ride! Thanks Jay!

I used to have a Triumph Spitfire that felt like that. It had lowered suspension and was so low to the ground, that 60mph felt like 100mph. Great fun!

great little car, Jay is like a big kid i love it.

Scary and Fun, All at the same time... Boy, That rear end looks mighty sketchy... i'd have to think twice about driving that thing at 70 m.p.h... what a car!!!

Another great video!

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing! ;)
