The "that lot" that Henry refers to at 0:16 is us! We were riding a Seven Seater Circular Conference Bike (CoBi for short) from John O'Groats to Lands End for Cyclists Fighting Cancer and to break a Guinness World Record. Like the Morgan, the Conference Bike is another awesome machine with a reverse trike formation. Not a rational way to get from one end of the country to the other, but it is a fun one. The four wheels (Two together at the back) are basically space savers, the front brakes are from a VW Polo, the back brakes are motorcycle discs. The secret sauce is universal joints that run round the bottom of the frame and transmit the pedalling to the main drive train at the back. The person at the back steers, everyone else just holds on and pedals. The top speed is sliiiiightly slower than the Morgan, about 7mph on the flat though it can get up around 40mph on downhills. Our next plan for it is to try and set a speed record!

I love it. In a world where fun seems to be increasingly harder to find this little Morgan must surely deliver a lot of that if you were to find yourself behind the wheel of one. Useable power, questionable chassis dynamics and bomber style looks, imagine this on a good mountain pass, you'd have the time of your life.

Its great to see a car release where the car isnt the same old "hey, a new superfast overpowered overpriced super-whatever". and its a car based on an old and loved platform/design, and they didnt fall too far away from the old essence. the V twin is gone but hey... this car will still give you all the thrills you expect from a three wheeler.

Henry is such an engaging writer. That’s where the value of these videos is, mostly, for me.

Great review really impressed by the audio. Hats off to the tech who achieved this. A lesson for others who would have blown it out by the wind.

I get good results with an external small lavallier mic connected to my android phone running free audio app, wrapped in a sock, gaffer taped close to the exhaust.. obvs some experimentation to locate the optimal place.

Morgan's designers did a great job of dragging their 3-wheeler into the 21st century, whilst retaining at least a fair chunk of retro aesthetic. Their choice of colours and luggage set-up for the promo-vehicles were inspired too. Especially the salmon pink one!.

The V-twin had lots of low-revs torque (I spun the back wheel changing up into 4th when I tried one out), whereas this sounds as though it's screaming. To my mind the front of the Super 3 looks messy, and I really don't care for all those mounting points all over it.

Great that Morgan still comes up with these projects, and comforting to know that they're already planning an electric version. It hopefully points to a bright future for both Morgan and the prospect of a characterful enthusiast electric car market.

Loved the torque counter. It's that sort of thing that really sets the channel apart and shows you guys don't take yourselves too seriously. I LOVE the car too - i'd have one in a heartbeat.

Henry does a better show - while expertly driving the Super Three - than most people do from a chair in the studio.

Absolutely love this modern steampunk aesthetic, great sound too. So happy this exists

Filmed just down the road from where I live. So weird seeing my back roads on here

Not a commuter, clearly - but for cobweb blowing of a weekend? Gloriously ridiculous fun. I get the feeling that from the designers putting pen to paper, to the engineers and technicians at the factory putting them together on to the lucky custoners: everyone's got a smile on their face.

Judging by the amount of smile, that was a resounding success!

What a little gem of an interview. Every aspect of it is perfectly creative and perfectly executed. Fantastic job once again, Carfection.

Thank you for this. I both love and hate these things, with equal enthusiasm!

Saw and had a good look at one of thes three prototypes built at the Sir Jackie Stewart Classic last weekend in the Borders.. absolutely beautiful and the star of the show for my father and I.

Love it thank you Mr Catchpole. I have been waiting for a first drive video on this.

Henry is the king of alliterations :)

This man is elegance and roughness if they had a child👌

I honestly thought it was a huge mistake losing the old 2 cylinder but man this cars now perfect for a 2 car garage. This and an rs6 yes please

Great stuff Henry, the car looks outstanding. Many thanks.

Thanks Henry, that brought back memories of your year running a Caterham Seven as your daily driver. Time to crack out the sailing jacket!

Such a brilliant brilliant car. And Harry is unquestionably one of the best, more entertaining, truly passionate and nice motoring journalist out there, he gives you the feeling to be there, sitting beside him, hats off.

Such a unique looking car, every time I see the older model I chuckle a little.

I could own it for those front wheels. Gorgeous design.

Love it. Great review Henry!

Brilliant writing and commentary Henry!

Great video as always, Carfection, and congratulations on the 1M subs! I first saw the modern iteration of the Morgan 3-Wheeler at Goodwood FOS in 2011 and quite honestly it was the best looking and sounding car at the show for me. I’m not feeling quite the same way about this version, however, I will reserve judgment until I see and hear one in the flesh. Can’t wait!

Watched Henry review a McLaren Artura last night. Tonight the Morgan Super 3. I counted his smiles by mile and the Morgan won!!

Be there driven that. And loved every moment as did everyone who saw and giggled and laughter and smiled. Brakes could be a whole lot better but I managed to return it to Morgan Kent without a scratch. It sounds a whole lot better with the sports exhaust, engine sound being the only other area to work up. Loved it and loved getting back into my Exige after..yes ..would be great to own both.

Carfection is simply the best.

Utterly superb. I cannot express how much I enjoy this channel... :o)

Brilliant video, thanks greatly. Good old Morgan cars, coming up with this improvement on the three wheeler. Peace be unto you.

Hello, It is a beautiful ride. I wish to see the majority of people riding Morgan 3 Wheeler on the roads.

I want one so much 😭😫got to see a few of them on display on a trip at düsseldorf classic remise in Germany and was blown away by them. Previously i wanted a can am ryker or polaris Slingshot but too many people have them , this is more special. Great video 📹👍😊

Thanks Henry, it looks like a lot of fun!

How can you not love this?

I think a pot plant is a perfect accessory. Well done, Henry, great review. Thanks.

Nice sound what a surprise!!

Unfortunately we really don't see that many Morgan's in the US. Your much more likely to see a Ferrari or Lamborghini. As far as I know, there is only One Morgan dealer in all of the US. I hope to just get the chance to see one of these some day. I'm so glad that Morgan decided to continue production instead of killing it off. This looked like so much fun. Thank you.

3 cylinder engines sounds soooo good.

Great video Henry, doesn't sound a patch on the old v twin though

I fully agree with you !! I own a V TWIN equipped 3W... And definitely LOVE IT !

A MX-5 gearbox, that should be good, I really like my '16 Miata, very nice gearbox. I'd give serious attention to a Caterham in addition to this though. Either would be fun here on hilly and curvy New Hampshire roads, roads that are tighter than what I see in the video. I drive on a lot of dirt roads here, that single rear wheel should be lots of fun on those, every little bend should produce oversteer.

Sounds fabulous

Such a gorgeous car.

A 3 wheeler is not my cup of tea, however Henrys passionate review combined with his professionalism means all his reviews including this one are a joy to watch.

Plenty of room for a new paintbrush!😂 I cracked up.

Sounds nice with the 3 pot 👌🏻😎

The lack of sliding with the three wheel, left me feeling empty. Catchpole is great and I know he can push it!

Is it torquey?

Funny enjoyed this way more than the McLaren video - you captured the spirit of the Morgan! So enjoyable

Great review, love the enthusiasm, charming... Hey Morgan, how hard would it be to keep the front end unchanged but make it a 4 wheeler with similar narrow tyres & cycle wingss at the rear? That would be fun & open up a whole new market like those would just not buy a 3 wheeler for fear of rolling it.

@jaraldoe

Жыл бұрын

It would be really hard to roll the Morgan without being in a serious accident. The car is very low and wide (at the front) so the center of gravity is pretty low, the tires would lose grip before you reached a point where it would roll.

V twin sounds and feels and even looks better

I think if I already had a previous 3-Wheeler then I'd buy this as an addition, not a replacement. The internal 3cyl engine and slightly more retro-future design gives it quite a different character just as an object in general (I say having not driven either to check that side of things).

Long live the Great Morgan This is the antithesis of everything super high performance cars get wrong

Feel like the smaller steering wheel would make it seem a bit twitcher anyway, the big wheel definitely works

I will be always attached to old Morgan specially 2013-2014 models, actually saving for a used one here in the US. This design of this is beautiful though.

I love it! Could use the back wheels though 😉

Love it! I want one.

Hi, it does have the traditional intake wail of a triple engine which is a plus.

There's something about the front end of this that just seems a little unfinished - almost like part of its 'face' is missing. But hey, although I miss the view of the V Twin, I'm still glad that Morgan are producing these quirky little cars in a marketplace that's becoming increasingly generic and derivative.

If you play around with the configurator on their web site, you can pick a different colour for the front end metal castings, the front cowl, as well as add some road lights (I particularly like these). Depending on the colour scheme this goes a long way, I think.

There is something about the V twin Hanging of the front that lent the Mk1 much more visceral drama. I wonder why they changed supplier? Long story short , I would have a Mk1 but Mk 2 is somehow to tamed, I also think US customers would be freerer with their money with the S&S V twin.

I don't really think it's as good looking as the old one with the exposed engine. I think it's the one I'll get some day. I think this is missed opportunity to do more engine sourcing from BMW. I mean the BMW R18 is prettiest mc engine ever done looking for an good application. and I think this would have been suitable chassis. I mean it's heavy and most likely made it handle worse, however I don't think anyone cares as long as it looks and sounds good.
