    I respect the traditional craftsmanship and construction of the Morgan. If they went with a tube chassis and a fiberglass body; us normal folk could afford one. Then again, that might dilute the throwback cool image.

    I used to work as a sheet metal worker making these Morgan 3 wheeler body panels and building them onto the ash frame. This is done in Coventry at an engineering company called Premier Group. Some of the panels can be a real pig to fabricate and put together. Premier also make some of the panels and the rear end of Morgan's Aero Supersport. If you search here on youtube 'premier 3 wheeler' the video will come up from when Premier made the 1000th 3 wheeler.

    In Normal, Illinois USA near Illinois State University is a one-man body shop. And in that shop are two 3-wheeled Morgans out of the 40's/50's ?? IDN. The body shop owner also has the original Pratt-Whitney wood ash plugs used for sand molds for pouring the cast iron bits for radial engines for the B-17 and other era aeroplanes that use these engines.

    Fifty thousand dollars for a V-Twin made in Wisconsin mated to a Miata transmission, a wooden frame and panel beaten alumin(i)um skin on motorcycle wheels? It's got the cool factor off the charts but I'm sorry, fifty thousand is too damn much. I'd save up and buy one for thirty but fifty? No way.

    yea certainly a rich mans toy, I would love one myself likewise, but simply not possible at the pricepoint. They seem to be selling them just fine though as they have waiting quite the waiting list at this point. Still, if I could have purchased this instead of my MX5 for the same pricepoint, I would own a M3W instead.

    Roger Lord thanks. I realized if the three wheeler was FWD, then a front differential would be needed, as the inside front wheel can naturally turn slower in a turn. As it’s a single RWD wheel, a differential wouldn’t be needed.
