I like it when a manufacturer sends someone that isn’t afraid to try to keep up with Jay or have some charisma - it makes it more fun for everyone. Well done, Morgan.

Not some out of touch old suit trying to push numbers 😂
I grew up with my parents, two sisters and grandma. I had my own bedroom, my sisters shared a bedroom, and my grandma had her own bedroom. And I was so upset and jealous that my sisters had each other to hang out with at bedtime that I would "sneak" into my grandma's bedroom every night and stay up WAY too late with my grandma watching TV, drinking soda, and eating junkfood. My grandma had three daughters and I was the only boy in two generations. I'd hang out in her room and we'd first watch MASH or Coach, and then I would fall asleep watching Jay Leno every night. She had such a crush on you, Mr. Leno (you won't read this, I bet). But if you do, you are part of the best memories of my life. Thank you, sir. (Also, I was a mechanic for 18 years before becoming a truck driver...haha)

Hats off to Morgan for sending someone who knows so much like Jonathan. Never get tired of Jay's stories no matter how many times I hear them...37 mph Mr. Leno. 😆
I'm 8 miles from the Morgan factory in Malvern Link. There's a local Morgan 3-wheeler club that meets in Ombersley, 6 miles in the opposite direction, every month. Even though I don't own a Morgan, I own a 1932 Morris Minor Two-Seater, they 'tolerate' me joining them on the Fruiterers Arms pub car park 😂

Concerning the rear storage..... "you can bring and extra shoe". Too funny! One of the best episodes yet....these two have so much fun together. Please...more like this Jay!
I have an unreasonable love for these "motorcars". I would totally daily drive one of these wearing old-school leather goggles, and I live in the Northwest Coast! I'm afraid I like the older models...I feel they have more charm, but the new one is still pretty damn cool. Thanks to Johnathan for bringing this by for us to see, and thanks to Jay and the Crew for another fun episode! ,✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

Nice conversatoin between the two of them, you are just smiling the whole time you are watching this.
The 3 wheel pot hole analogy is pure 100% fact.
A friend and I had the good fortune to visit the factory in Dec. 1979. The smell of wood in the factory was wonderful. The engines lined up,included Buick/Olds V8's on one side and 4 cyl. on the other side. I remember the old gentleman who meet us and gave us a tour was great,old employee I'm sure. I still have a few letters from Mr. Morgan from 78-79 explaining the wait time for a new Morgan was 2 years. A Morgan sure beat a EV.
We are so lucky that Johnny Carson or whoever it was that picked Jay Leno to be on The Tonight show did so Jay Leno is the car man. This was his true calling and this will be his legacy to the world.

I didn't like Leno then. I didn't think he was funny.... now I think his grandpa humor suits him well and can NOT have anything but respect for a man so willing to share the fruits of his wealth with those of us that could never afford such rare beauties as he keeps as well as his vast and deep knowledge of classic cars that only a true enthusiast would have. The very way he collects not just a vehicle but the history of the previous owners speaks volumes about his humility. I may not have thought he was funny but I'm sure glad that he was given that job to make the money he has spent pursuing a love of automobiles we all share. The man is likely far too busy playing in the shop but I hope someone tells him thank you for the millionth time anyway!

The Morgan dealership in San Francisco was run by a guy named Bill. The shop was anything but luxurious it was at the end of a shed (pier) that is 85 to 90% a fish company’s and it smells like it too. The original small Morgan sign is still hanging on the cyclone fence that doubles as the front wall, the sign has some handwritten words added to it as a memorial to Bill.

I always chuckle when I see Jay out for a drive, usually on the same route. Nobody seems to notice. People must say "Oh, that's just Jay again!" and go on about ther business.
Nice review, I truly appreciate the variety of vehicles Jay brings to his channel. No silly drag races, stunts or some giddy guy dancing around the car announcing - Look at what I just bought. Just an honest car review by people who know what they are talking about. I would love to see Jay’s channel and Harry’s Garage collaborate on a review.
What a great guest! It's so much better when the representative from the car company is a technical guy, rather than somebody from the marketing dept. who knows all the sales patter, but who Jay has to subtly try to correct about anything mechanical on their own car!
Looking great, Jay!! Such an amazingly weird "toy" car w a crazy History and a cute bloke to explain his baby... And always, Love you and your show!
So I looked up Morgan's site to see what four-wheelers they were offering now. Jay, Please, Please, PLEASE get a "Midsummer" car to review. I'm flabbergasted that Morgan come out with such a good looking design!
So glad they found a place to put some wood, the floor storage cover. Must have helped that "where does the wood go" meeting go faster. LOL.

I don’t want one of these, but derive immense satisfaction that it exists. Well done, gents.
I love when Jay ask a mechanics question like so how do you put air in the tire lol. Such a genuine car guy
In this age of dull SUV's , it's nice to see quirky design still has a place in the car industry. Great episode.

I had to laugh when they pulled out the Beeline as the 'satnav.' it's a decent system, I use it on my bike, but it's hilariously suited for the Morgan.
All 3 Morgans are really brilliant!! The first two are really interesting. The old one is just amazing in its originality the second Morgan with war plane decals is really cool!!! and the new one is an interesting modern idea of executing old style... I like all 3!!!
I drove those same canyon roads in July '18 in a rented 2018 yellow Mustang convertible. Good to see Jay back driving these roads in his videos. They're so much fun! Thanks, Jay!
Thanks for sharing this Morgan. Like you said not for everyone. But, looks fast and cool. 😎 Thanks for sharing Jay ! ❤️💯👊👍
Jay really gets motor us heads, what a gift to our community
Thank You Jay!
Love the three wheeler - I must get a go in this latest one....great video guys, I love the fact Jay is such an anglophile.....
A number of years ago we had a tour of the Morgan factory at Malvern. It was amazing, we could go anywhere, except the prototype and Le Mans area, and just chat to anyone. Wonderful PR.
I have been a fan of Morgan for many years. Four wheelers and the amazing Three wheelers. I love the new design. It's truly a car I would drive over the ugly, though well built Smart car...
The Morgan guy is just amazing, very charming and sincere ! Looks like he is having fun working there! 👏
I could honestly see myself owning one of them. It must be a blast to drive.

I've loved the Super 3 ever since I saw previews a year ago. That thing is really tugging at my bank account. It also doesn't help to see it the exact color combo I want. Dang. I can live in a tent, right?
Always great to watch Jay 😊 His enthusiasm comes over the same in every video
I love this car!
Absolutely love this Super 3!👍🏼👏🏻
Stunning design!😊 Great to see all 3 generations. I get the same feeling of 100mph when my wife drives her 1992 Mini. " Damn it woman, hit the brakes!" Terrifying 😅.
That’s a nice-revving engine!
My first car was a Morgan F-Type (small Ford engined) 3 wheeler - I had a race with a hearse on the way back from buying it - the hearse won! The men inside with top hats removed were willing me to over-take them through the glass but the Moggy just wouldn't do it. Later I fitted an aquaplane aluminium cylinder head and an SU carb. In England you could drive a 3 wheeler at 16 rather than 17 for a 4-wheeler in those days and they were cheaper to tax and insure.
I'd love to see more bikes on the channel. I know they don't do as well with views but I'd love to hear Jay's thoughts on a modern entry level sports bike. As cool as this car is I think a bike would be better for an overall experience, price and serviceability.
This is incredible. I never expected these to return
I lust for a Morgan Super 3. At 70 it's so much work to get suited up to ride one of my Moto Guzzi.
Pretty cool! What a unique vehicle. 🤘🤠

As a biker, I'm still a fan and capable of two wheeled motoring. Nonetheless, I cling to cherished memories of an MG Midget I once owned. Should I no longer be able to two wheel, this Morgan seems like a wonderful blend of motorcycles and British classic sports cars. Thumb up for that. To Morgan for creating a fabulous WTF is that vehicle, another thumb up. In short, two thumbs up Morgan! 👍👍
I really like this new Morgan, and the color combination is great the mustard yellow With the cream white looks It's very good.🇬🇧🙂
3 Wheels of Fun. Thanks Jay. 😎👍😎
Thank You,Sir.Jay Leno.♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️
My last comments where as they where talking about the Morgan, once that thing got out on the road it really did change my mind on the Dragon Engine its sounds great, it looks great and i really get it now! You could drive that thing all day and have huge fun in it and if you fancied a bit more power then hey presto wouldn't cost alot to up the power a bit but its probably enough already and economic! Yeah i really dig this now i want one!
You need that extra luggage rack for the other shoe😂
That green one is FIRE! 🔥 The bone/yellow one they drove is beautiful!
The Morgan thing has never really appealed to me with the exception of course of the Aero 8, but I like the look of this three wheeler it looks modern and quirky and that engine sounds characterful. Maybe when the children have left home :)
I’m a local, Morgan host a few classic car and bike meets at the factory in the summer months, it’s a great place to visit. The Morgan midsummer (pininfarina collab 4 wheeler) is a car to review if you get the chance, named after Midsummer hill in the Malvern hills.
Jay Leno is a national treasure.
I owned the previous M3W model and never drove it without my goggles! The little windscreens won’t stop all debris hitting you in the face and I had some hits on my goggles that most likely saved my eyes. Just hang the goggles inside when you get back. Still like the previous model much better.
Pod Racer comes to mind while watching the drive bys.
3 wheelers are big right now, I see them all the time....I guess after 100 years it finally caught on....so why wouldn't Morgan, the original, make a modern one, it still looks better than the new trikes, I like that they kept the narrow tires.
3 cylinders sound like straight sixes awesome! 👍🤠🤘
Great to listen to Jay on a Monday. It is a shame the Morgan looks an odd shape, I hope they make a slimmer version. I think Jonathan should also do his own KZread channel, he’s an interesting chap to listen to.
I miss my Morgan 4/4 50 years ago. Went to meet Peter Morgan, a gentleman.
Charming guest and car.
So cool! to see this just after I had visited the Morgan factory the day before Jay posted this 👌👍
The Morgan 3-wheeler's about 68" wide, and handles beautifully. I've driven a friend's on autotests, rallies, and a few hillclimb courses, and it's an absolute hoot [🦉] to throw round corners. So it's hard to understand why the proposed Aptera 3-wheeler [electric vehicle] currently in development is a monstrous 88" wide.😲
If you have a vehicle that you love and want to sell, there's no better way to introduce it than with Jay Leno. This looks very fun. I imagine it could be a very good platform for a historic highway tour across America. As long as it's not too hard to get in and out of.
Wonderful little machine
Since Jay's getting a new one I'll be glad to give the green one a home. Used to own a Harley but the S&S motor with 3 wheels would be great!
The car is G O R G E O U S and if space and cost weren't not issues I would have one tomorrow. Pretty special car.
Classic!
Hearing you speak about the way you feel like you are going so fast, is what I love about riding electric unicycles (EUC). You can be going 35mph, but you feel like Superman going 100mph...lol🤘🤣
This car is absolutely brilliant.
I noticed you didn't show getting into the Morgan. I bet that takes some doing. I love that they still hand-build them. What a wonderful thing.
I like Morgans, but the new one doesn't have as cool of front end as the older ones I like the chrome and engine showing in the first one!
Great little video!
Hi Jay - have you heard of Pembleton? They're a small family owned British car builder -they do a three wheeler like this but I prefer the T24 which has a wheel in each corner and just looks ace - please check it out

Hi Jay, A few weeks ago I got a speeding ticket. I noticed it when the speed trap caught me. I thought I was way toooooo fast, but today I payed omly 50 euros for being 9 miles too fast in my 2001 Morgan +8 Now I have to say: Thank you, Morgan!
I’m surprised jay didn’t know about the Beeline gps! It’s a brilliant little screen for minimalistic navigation.
How can you not love the Morgan 3 wheeler
That is cool, updated with a more reliable modern engine, but me personally would buy an older one just for the V-twin motorcycle engine.
I never have cared for three wheeled vehicles, but I love these Morgans. I agree that the older ones look better. Only thing I really don't care for is the headlights being so close together. Just a three wheeled bathtub. Looks like it would be a blast to drive.
