And you can read Seán's full written review here: www.goodwood.com/grr/car-reviews/morgan/super-3/

Funny. He is quite correct. Until you have driven a Morgan three wheeler for at least 5000 miles you can't really comment. Number one if you chirp the rear wheel when gear changing you are not rev matching, which you need to do to keep momentum... blah blah, No 2 blah. Any motorcyclist will take to it in seconds because it is NOT A CAR... or a bike, but you drive it like one. When she scuffs her front wheel you put in the gas until the power brings you round and steer with that... more blah . If you like bikes but are feeling vulnerable or old then a Morgan will bring you endless joy. If you just want to LOVE EVERY drive then buy one. If you are expecting a car then forget it. You will need to tinker. Things will fall off. The bevel box (as of now) allegedly squeals like the old one. I could hear the familiar banging from the back over bumps. The lovely Mazda gear box is awesome and you can hear it whine and burr and resonate.especially at 100kph. You will need ear plugs on long drives. And goggles ate the very least. people will think that you are bonkers. You will be in a parade ALL the time. Photo stops will be a normal thing. You will need the right sort of wife (husband/partner/dog) because you HAVE to go touring. A Morgan is for folk who just love driving a proper motor car.... or motor thing...

I'm a motorcyclist - now mid 70s. I still ride my BMW GSA but I also have a 4 wheel Morgan Roadster. When the 3-Wheeler twin first came on the market, I was keen to get one (wish I had now!!) but decided the 4 wheeler with proper weather protection would be more usable than the 3-wheeler. I still think that, but figure that the latest 3-wheeler without the v-twin engine has lost a great deal of its appeal. But mainly, I want to say that I too have always considered the 3-wheeler to be a motorcycle! Compare it to a car and it is useless! Compare it to a motorcycle - and it is fantastic!

Cool, think I prefer this to it's predecessor. Sounds great too 👍

His smile says everything you need to know!!! ...and a fab backdrop of the view from the Malvern hills - Amazing!

As an aging motorbike rider I REALLY like the idea of blatting about in one of these!

I wish morgan the best, but it is a hard pass from me. So much so I bought a 16 3 Wheeler this weekend. I know things had to change, but the looks of the old one and the character of the v-twin far outweigh any performance enhancements the new one provides.

great review Alex superb intro to the new Morgan Super 3

I like it. I have a 3 wheel motorcycle by Bombardier. It’s fun, easy perfect for a mature person. The other 3 wheel car is a nonstarter but this one is just right. Send any extras you might have.

Looks like fun. I think you'd be wiser to wear eye protection though.

I was in the MX5 chasing you through the hills! 👀

0:50 The coolest wheels Morgan HAS EVER USED.

Would LOVE one of these, however, according to the local distributor, none of the new Morgan range is available in Australia due to not meeting local design rules. Given our ADR's are supposed to comply with the same rules for the EU,.. well, I think there's a little blurring of the truth somewhere.

Yep it’s the same with the American built 3 wheeler the VANDERHALL which has a modern look and far more performance, now you can get one in OZ as the approval will be given accordingly to the dealer in Melbourne. 😊🇦🇺

If it had a soft top as some (all?) early Morgan three wheelers did and Trikings, it could be a daily driver for the same people (me!) who has had a Lotus 7 as their only car. Even Lomax managed that. Ironically I built one of those but with aero screens and sold it because the wind battering made driving unpleasant unless it was warm. I’ve always driven soft tops with the roof down unless it was raining but the choice made the difference. I realise none of this applies if you have multiple cars and garaging for them. My garage is for bicycles!

I know of only two other things this can be compared to: The Polaris Slingshot and the Campagna T-Rex. And having seen a T-Rex do a 200 foot burnout, I can definitely say that the driving experience is totally different.

@robertm1692

The Slingshot is hideous looking. The T-Rex isn't that bad but still obese in comparison to the Morgan and even the Vanderhall.

This is what I want! Lots of fun!

You try to be angry or sad, after an inspired trip in that car! I love the three pot, creaks and cranks. Only thingm digi dials gotta go, and replacd by a couple of analogue Smith!

That is so beautiful! I’m not bananas about the Volvo wheels but I don’t think that will be the reason I won’t be buying one. I’ll have to save some pin money before I get worked up about aesthetic details.

4:50 I used to get that in my Micra - just take your foot off the throttle before you change gear. 🤔

Looks like loads of fun...The wheels are perfect. I think I'd fit a loader exhaust though.

Great video. Magnificent machine. ❤

Do you have to register this as a motorcycle in the US?

Morgan, please could you do us a "Super 2" with a 1200 cc horizontally opposed twin in front of the front axle, gearbox behind it driving the FRONT wheels and now you've got the halfshafts, inboard brakes to improve unsprung weight at the front (to nearly zero). It's such an obvious solution. Behind the seats, there'd be more space for luggage and a hood.

@1258-Eckhart

@@GoodwoodRR No, because in Morgan denomination, "Plus Four" = four cylinder sports, "Plus Six" = six cylinder, "Plus 8" = eight cylinder - Morgan names by cylinder-count. Otherwise a "Plus Eight" would need to be a rigid eight like the building-site Atkis. "Super 3" = three cylinder, "Super 2" would then be two. Hence the differentiation "Morgan THREE-WHEELER", here, wheels, not (as otherwise), cylinders.

Why not go full British and use the triple from the Rocket 3 ? I think of all the three wheelers that this one is the best in all metrics. It’s pretty, it’s powerful for its weight and it’s got a depth of heritage the Slingshot and Vanderhall won’t have for quite some time.

Wheels look like from a '30s Bugatti.

These engines are made to sound like half a six-cylinder, we have a Skoda citigo because of it. And driving almost as analog as an electronics free sportsbike from the 1990 or 2000 this car, a fun, yes! (Tires matter). And you should wear a helmet or at least glasses next time, please - a pain to see you without. These typ of cars are entirely unsafe like a motorbike? Yes, and that's why they haven't got airbags for instance. Airbags are of not much use with entirely unsafe vehicles. '(A rider wouldn't give up on riding his horse - because it's not made from plastics, but alive. Or carbon fiber. Too many new products today just seem to be plain dead to drive.')

High time Morgan did something better with the back end, why have just a plain skirt? - include some pleats & a tartan! : )

With most spped limits on our motorways at 50mph due to congestion and road works, a Morgan 3 wheeler is ideal.

Nice Threewheeler. Sounds like a Triumph Motorcycle.

1:02 it weights 50kg more than the 3-wheeler? But isn't _it_ the 3-wheeler? Not sure that statement made any sense, and it doesn't bode well for the rest of the video, sadly.
