I LOVE Morgans! I had the chance a few years ago to drive a Morgan plus 4 on angeles crest highway. It was the slowest car I’ve ever driven on there, it felt like it was going to kill me, brakes were sketchy, and the front end of the car had no idea what the rear was doing. It was terrifying. And you know what? BEST CAR IVE EVER DRIVEN. I’ve never laughed and smiled so much driving before. It was clearly something built by a craftsman who had been day drinking and we’d probably have been friends if we got talking at a pub. Morgan’s are something special and I hope everyone gets a chance to drive one.
Oh my. My absolutely favorite car. As an Octogenarian my hope to own a Bentley is tied with my hope to own or at least drive this Morgan. I have lived through so many designs and configurations of cars over the years, but have never been as smitten as to when I first saw this car. The designers and engineers must be working for a very special company to allow this magnificent car to come to fruition. Any color. Any series of options is just fine. Lucky you for having the opportunity to drive this piece of art.
In 2015, Alex Roy drove the older version from LA to New York in 41 hours! Keep that in mind when he speaks about the driving dynamics on a freeway.😳 Still a wonderful vehicle though...😂
Nothing better then a Morgan for and episode on sunday morning with a cup of coffee. I tottaly agree with you about Aeromax or Super8, for me those are one of the most stunning cars out there. Been to a lot of shows but never seen one.
I live in the states and own a Vanderhall carmel and love it, but have a love for the Morgan. I love watching the videos on the Morgan. Nice video. Maybe one day I will have a Morgan.
Maybe I'm not that vapid, but my interest in something like the Morgan Super 3 is simply elemental driving fun. I realize people want to "stand out" and "look cool" but I'm hoping buyers prefer the former over the latter.
1.Man in four wheeled car. "hole in the road ahead, - avoid by driving with the wheels on either side of the hole". 2. Man in Morgan three wheeler "HELP -No escape! Ok, maybe more relevant for the third world roads in the UK at the moment. Great video by the way.
Thank you for the informative and honest review of this car. I was very interested in the Morgan 3W when it came out but the closer I looked into it the more I felt that it had serious design and craftsmanship issues. Anywhere near $77K for such a plasticky car is rather ridiculous. So I decided to build my own 3 wheeler that was much like a 1930's classic car and address the severe lack of storage. Same S&S 2L motor and Miata trans but shaft driven. Many other differences as well but the overall design and build would appeal to a classic car collector but with upgraded and modern mechanicals. See my avatar.
seems like there could be room for a storage space behind driver seat, or it's all the gas tank & back wheel ? what is the purpose of black "rack like" part over top of the back half ?
I´m 100% with you on the aero supersports. we need some mad gineous vibes given all is going on in the auto world. I love morgans, never drove one but i would have one just for the sake of looking at it in the garage. Eventually they will get into the EV bandwagon but until that happens the mix between gasoline engines and this body type is almost an unbeatable experience. quite enjoyed this video. more like this... and 911 too. Yesterday i saw a silver 992 Targa and even tough i don´t like that color for that model still looked amazing.
I’m surprised and couldn’t agree more why they never went to a BMW motorbike engine with shaft drive , as they seem to be going all out with their engines in the 4 wheel vehicles Also the inbound headlights look cheap and kit-car-ish, rather than outbound And deffo analogue gauges should be an option These used to be classed as bikes and you could drive on a bike licence But the law was changed not too long ago, so a trike, much loved by older bikers, or 3 wheeler can be driven without ever needing to get a bike licence Great to see you in rude health and keep up the tough slog that is RUclips👍🏻
Not a death trap getting thrashed around a Runway on a very Frosty morning Maybe not the best way to drive this car. All ways drive with in the vehicles limits
Understand not only the historical overview of the company but back ground of the changes to the Morgan. Since you offered not a wish list may I❓ How about mounting point sockets to receive the luggage racks. I vacation far less than I’d drive this for the pleasure and think it would appear nicer far more often than it’s utilitarian functionality would. 17:34
I've always loved Morgans, but that thing is UGLY, and overcomplicated. Side radiators and luggage racks look awful, if you ever need to use them, you bought the wrong vehicle!
Not sure if more torque is needed, or even safe. Only one tire, not much weight over it, thats not much traction. Biggest surprise: digital gauges - thats just not right! 👍
Not sure about any practical uses but that is likely the point and way less than Italians and lots of Germans Brands with exclusivity. That is something to actually brag about and getting better MPG to boot! This is why your fans watch, a review from an avant-garde perspective!
I completely agree regarding the gauges. It also needs wired wheels. Borranis or even Daytons would look better than the gray disks. Excellent work like always, M.
I would love to see Morgan build a three or four wheeler with the 1650cc straight six from BMW, the motorcycle engine... They sound and ride terrific with 165 horsepower. Put that in a nice and modern package and create a much much better looking car than the ugly Lotus Super7...! The Dutch brand Donkervoort is a good example of what I mean, look them up I'd suggest. But on topic, I really love this one and the comments above I do understand, but like the 'tone' of this video, I would have expected much more outspoken and shown enthusiasm about this exciting car. I mean..., at least half the video is contributed by summing up drawbacks or 'buts' with every positive aspect of this extraordinary car. It sounds simply decadent to me when I watch this video. If there wasn't mentioned by the reviewer that he loves Morgans, than you could start to almost believe that he hates this peace of 'costly' created workmanship. I missed the most important aspect of how the car feels in different types of situations for instance, the reason why you should buy a car like this in the first place. The reviewer did mention it in the beginning of the video with some words of his own, but the rest of the video was vastly filled with buts, drawbacks, missed opportunities and 'surprisingly' hidden costs that are bad for the customer... Yeah.., right.., like he never heard of that in his life, 😂, the person which has probably ridden the most exclusive cars in the world and gets them on his yard annually as a bonus. So..., I think enthusiasm works better for these types of vehicles than this 'tone' being applied here in this video. Thanks, cheers! Olaf
Morgans have the vintage look. Last 3 wheeler retained this but couldnt afford it ( £30k then ). This is around $78k to much for a peasant again. They are becoming far to ostentatious. Suitcases on sides , to much. Thanks . Dave
The Aptera is fascinating, but it's not necessarily an open-air, next-to-the-pavement thrill machine. Efficiency and presumed lengthy range are its main attributes. The only thing these two have in common is three wheels.
If you like the Morgan cars then check out Pembleton Cars, they make a super lightweight 3 wheeler with a V twin Motoguzzi engine, they are also in the UK
The dash looks like garbage,it would have to be a burled walnut dash with classic style gauges for me the rest of the car is growing on me,wire wheels would look nicer.
It's sad a p.c. liquid cooled 3 cylinder is needed. Three wheels mean you can't avoid any bump or pot hole. The narrowly placed headlights make it look like a motor cycle. It's cool though.
This surety is „something different“ compared to other (sports) cars. And certainly big fun for an hour or two on sunny weekend afternoons…but it has the usability and the safety of only a motorcycle…. And therefore it is too much money even when considering the low production numbers.
It's cool but not for me. The update could have been more youthful. To whom I assume most three wheelers go to. Would be interesting 🤔 to see them partner up with somebody big and do a run of automobiles with Morgan touches.
Interesting fun fact about the Morgan 3 Wheelers. They are indeed bought by a MUCH younger clientele. Which tells me the point of these cars is to lower the age of the folks who these cars appeal to . . .
I’m sorry but it reminds me of a rich man’s toy car that is only to be used on 2 lane country roads. I guess you could say “it isn’t my cup of tea”….pun intended.
I have watched a number of videos about this "new" Morgan 3 wheeler. To sum my feelings up. This new design is BUTT UGLY and totally ruins the heritage of the previous design, which was one of my all time favorites! OMG! The new styling is GODAWFUL! luggage racks tacked on to the Sides?! Slab side styling even without the luggage racks?! And the price, averaging 70 grand with just some basic options?! I absolutely LOVED the previous generation. But I HATE what they have done to a legend!
I tried commenting _"Morgan three wheeler!"_ several times on your Community post but I kept getting rejected. IDK if I angered somebody behind the YT curtain (which happens on a frequent basis now) but I'm curious if you saw _any_ of those attempted posts yesterday. FWIW, my comment appears on my screen and on my end. However, when I view in an Incognito window it only depicts two commentators.

Nevertheless, keep up the great work George and as always... Stay classy my friend.
26 thousand dollars *more* than a base model ford escape and it doesn't have doors, a roof, ac, seating for four, a fourth wheel, a spare, power windows, air bags, etc etc etc. Basically it's for people to chicken for a motorcycle and have more money than sense.

That has the same amount of horsepower and the same deficiencies as every other three-wheeler except the vanderhall. 100 plus horsepower negative rear wheel drive negative.! The vanderhall has close to 200 horsepower and it is front wheel drive. I don't know what this cost but I guarantee you it's going to be up there but with that said the vanderhall is not cheap either. The funny thing is Vander Hall looks like it can't get any engines anymore from Chevy so it's going all electric and a couple years what is the Morgan going to do remember we're not in a bubble everything has to be electric by 2030 plus so to invest $40,000 in this thing and to be only able to keep it for 6 years before it becomes obsolete not a good investment
Only new cars have to be electric in the UK. Any petrol cars out there can still be used after that date. There was something in the news this week saying the last petrol car in the UK is expected to be a Fiesta in 2128. Obviously this is wrong, it'll be a Toyota.
They destroyed the three-wheeler. Biggest disappointment in the auto world of the last decade. They took an icon and turned it over to the wrongest possible people. Criminal.
@@bw1376 There are motorcycles that weigh less then that (prob. sub 100 lbs.) with the rider attached and they have turbos. Besides dummy it was meant in jest, get a sense of humor, you'll enjoy life better. Think I'll go out and turbo a go-cart for you today.
Horrible story narration. Morgan does not and is not "Rebuilding a 113 year old car company..." My literature prof would say, "You should have something worthwhile to say before you say it..." Enough said.
This, like an Elise, does not need extra power . . . there is a certain balance that needs to be maintained for this equation to work. Add too much, it throws everything else off.

I agree with you on the gauges. This car needs analog gauges.
Anyone taking one of these remotely close to 130mph on the open road has a much bigger yam bag than me.
Love it though.
HA!
In 2015, Alex Roy drove the older version from LA to New York in 41 hours! Keep that in mind when he speaks about the driving dynamics on a freeway.😳 Still a wonderful vehicle though...😂
Surprising! But I’m glad you showed us!! Another quality review.
My pleasure!
"So, yes, they stand out, but in the process they also become a douche bag" Love it! 🤣
:)
You had me at Miata gearbox!❤ Always enjoy your Morgan episodes, they look like a hoot to drive.
Pretty sure the gearbox is/was the same as the five speed used in the Ford Ranger/Mazda pickup and the Ford Astrovan.
Nothing better then a Morgan for and episode on sunday morning with a cup of coffee. I tottaly agree with you about Aeromax or Super8, for me those are one of the most stunning cars out there. Been to a lot of shows but never seen one.
Outstanding! Far better than the other three-wheelers on offer here.
Without a doubt!
So many of them are FWD and when I found that out I lost interest in them very quickly. Morgan is the only one doing it right
I live in the states and own a Vanderhall carmel and love it, but have a love for the Morgan. I love watching the videos on the Morgan. Nice video. Maybe one day I will have a Morgan.
Save the Morgan Car Company !!! They deserve it !
My bucket list car is finally coming.
Maybe I'm not that vapid, but my interest in something like the Morgan Super 3 is simply elemental driving fun. I realize people want to "stand out" and "look cool" but I'm hoping buyers prefer the former over the latter.
No thank you. The V twin up front is essential for a 3 wheeler.
Small cars feel faster slow than big cars!
1.Man in four wheeled car. "hole in the road ahead, - avoid by driving with the wheels on either side of the hole".
2. Man in Morgan three wheeler "HELP -No escape!

Not a death trap getting thrashed around a Runway on a very Frosty morning Maybe not the best way to drive this car.

The three wheeler is not killing the driver, it's people not respecting the 3 wheeler. It's not a race car. It's made to enjoy the ride.
Have you heard of the Vanderhall Venice? You could buy two for that price.
It replaced a good looking car with something that looks like a kit car.

Good suggestion . . . Looks much better without the rack on the back . . .
Those bag racks on the side gotta go. There’s no top so it’s not like you’ll be traveling trans continental and need weeks of luggage anytime soon.

Love to get one. I wonder if the front end and drive line will be more reliable.
Being a Ford Ecoboost engine. I'm not hopeful. Known as the Ecoboom in the UK, as they go bang a lot.
I completely agree regarding the gauges. It also needs wired wheels. Borranis or even Daytons would look better than the gray disks.
Excellent work like always, M.
I suspect they will make other wheel choices available . . .
@@MotoManTV At a optional cost, of course 😄
Trailing 3rd wheels need a mechanism for sweeping the 'demon zone' middle of the lane. Leading 3rd wheels are forked.
Nice review, but a quibble - there's no reason a 3-wheeler need have any greater turning radius than a 4-wheeler.
I would love to see Morgan build a three or four wheeler with the 1650cc straight six from BMW, the motorcycle engine...
They sound and ride terrific with 165 horsepower.

It’s one thing to build a car like that, but what’s the market for that ?
I would go for the Aptera.
The Aptera is fascinating, but it's not necessarily an open-air, next-to-the-pavement thrill machine. Efficiency and presumed lengthy range are its main attributes. The only thing these two have in common is three wheels.
What a pity Morgan didn’t fit in the Miata engine
If you like the Morgan cars then check out Pembleton Cars, they make a super lightweight 3 wheeler with a V twin Motoguzzi engine, they are also in the UK
I like motorcycles, I like convertibles (esp Miatas). What's not to love?
That's all for import duties? Close to 5% ????
In Brazil it's closer to 125%
The dash looks like garbage,it would have to be a burled walnut dash with classic style gauges for me the rest of the car is growing on me,wire wheels would look nicer.

It's sad a p.c. liquid cooled 3 cylinder is needed.
Three wheels mean you can't avoid any bump or pot hole.
The narrowly placed headlights make it look like a motor cycle.
It's cool though.
Morgan has only been building three wheelers since 1909. They know what they're doing.
So few colours available? For decades you could have any colour available from their supplier (ICI?), over 40000 of them.
What? You can have it in any colour you like.
Rough road rough ride, da.
I'd add a roof to it too.

Very nice but unpractical and over priced .

I've driven one and it was great fun!
Hell no to the engine
Needs a turbo
This, like an Elise, does not need extra power . . . there is a certain balance that needs to be maintained for this equation to work. Add too much, it throws everything else off.
eh just buy a replica cobra, this moggie is too mod
As useless as electronic cigarettes.
So Morgan ruined the Morgan, typical.
Unreliable V-twin and regulations ruined the old Three Wheeler.
Congratulations to Morgan you have made what is probably one of the most ugly vehicles in existence. 🙏🏼
It's not as striking nor as pretty as its predecessor.
You ruined the car
Morgan ruined a classic.
This isn't the first time the company has used a Ford car engine on their three wheel vehicles.
