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 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.
That guy has a great personality for sure.
I liked him, too. He should have talked more.
Not some out of touch old suit trying to push numbers 😂
I wish indian would build somethinh like this. They got the motorcycle engines. Polaris owns indian they build that 3 wheeler. A morgan competetor in a higher class of course. Chrome plating nit really a polaris slingshot style but the chrome is an indian thing 😂
Well said my friend.
Time for Jay to prove his love for British motors by finally featuring an Ariel Square Four. Come on Jay, you can do it.
Wishing for more bikes! Definitely Square Four is in order given his love for Edward Turner! The Daimler Dart and the Bonnie for example.
Two Edward Turner twins geared together? Linear power delivery, the most "motor"-like motorcycle engine? Uneven air cooling? Picture perfect exhaust pipes? What more do you, I mean Jay, needs for an interesting subject?
Naah, he owns Vincents and Broughs.
He featured many many many British cars and motorcycles over the years. It’s not his fault you haven’t been watching or paying attention.
If Jay had an Austin Allegro that would kill his love for British cars.
We miss what makes us happy! "Morgan" does that.Thank You,Sir.Jey Leno!
What a sweet little car! Have been a Morgan fan for many years.
I love the scared robot face it has 😄👍🏽
I commented it looks like a Pokemon!
long live 3 wheelers
long live jay leno garage and company
thank you jay leno for displaying and showcase of the pass present and inspiring future of generations of automobile “ Morgan Motors “
you are a real class act
thank you Morgan Motors
slow and steady
calm cool collected and funny 3 lol
I love when Jay ask a mechanics question like so how do you put air in the tire lol. Such a genuine car guy
Thanks for sharing this Morgan. Like you said not for everyone. But, looks fast and cool. 😎 Thanks for sharing Jay ! ❤️💯👊👍
You’re the man, Leno! ❤
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.
Jay, you're pretty funny. You should try your hand at comedy... "I still got one more good crash left in me"!!...😁
That's not a comedian saying it's a biker saying.
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.
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 😅.
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!
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.
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 really like this new Morgan, and the color combination is great the mustard yellow With the cream white looks It's very good.🇬🇧🙂
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!
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.
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! 👍👍
Wonderful little machine
What a cool machine.
I bet it bangs like a diahatsu charade when its straight piped!
One thing i may mention the British can built a sports car make no mistake😊 i really like this Morgan great design and thanks for the ride greetings from South Africa
Back in the day, in my TR3, you didn't put the top up as it was too difficult to see out the rear window. So, in cold weather, you woul jacket up, zip tht tonneau cover around you and away you go.
So it's essentially the fiesta st engine? But NA? Really interesting, im sure this performs much better than the older ones but that v twin mounted in the front is the way to go for the theater of the experience.
Jay. It looks like you are going down the road in a bathtub. Lol. 😂
Wonderful.. !
Wow, Morgan is in Malden! You gotta see the Monty Python episode about Malden.
Morgan is in Malvern, Worcestershire. Maldon is in Essex. North Malden, Old Malden, New Malden and Malden Rushett are all in Surrey.
the morganism is evolving
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.
Love this vehicle!!!! I would buy one if I could :)
😊I've had MGs and Rx-7,Toyota mr3,this looks cool and must be FUN.
1977 concept model "CHRYSLER LEBARON TURBINE" video please...
„One more crash to go!“? Please don‘t…. Enjoying your videos and the work you do
love how Nigel pokes fun of his own product.
You never know when you might need an extra left shoe. You can even bring an extra right one as well if you stuff it into the cubby under the passenger seat, or hang it off the side of the vehicle.
Great engine sound..but the old ones have Great class and historical linage
The company itself IS heritage, class, and tradition.
I believe it’s the fiesta ST engine (Dragon) without the turbo though of course
The guy is selling a very unusual car, and he keeps giving little surprised looks at how much Jay knows about the vehicles and their history.
Filling the rear tire is a hassle. They should build a little door in the top of the wheel cover so it can be filled from above.
Jay has become so iconic that the guests don't talk to him like a human, anymore. There is little discussion, just "whatever Jay sez". The Brit dude was trying to make an important point about the HP/mass ratio and Jay didn't catch it. The younger Jay would have gotten excited when he said 1300 lbs.
This Morgan gen has fantastic design cues- wheels and hubs, cowl, windshield.... but those flat sides are ridic. If they don't drop them immediately, they should at least sculpt them differently over time. They look like a painted sheet of plywood!
Reliant Robin enters the chat: Am I a joke to you?
Have you seen the Reliant Regal and Ant?
I know someone somewhere will see this. Please hurry up and get these on sale in Australia.
What a baller car
Id take the old one over the new one any day
Awesome
This is my friend Matts dream car!!
Hate the new look. The engine being outside up front was one of the defining characteristics of this car. The Pembleton V-sport is the one I’d go for now if I wanted an eccentric fun 3-wheeler car like this. Engine is still out front, and front wheel drive too, with a thicker back tyre so you don’t slide through corners all the time.
🤘🤩
Straight from the front, it looks a bit like a spider with the headlights as the eyes.
Sounds like the Broncos sport motor
In Australia you can’t buy any new Morgans as they are not yet legal.
Well, belts pop when you get the tiniest crap under the belt assembly..
If you can get the belt protected, it is probably better. Even lighter probably.
On a off road motorbike, a belt can be really annoing. Worst thing being you have to take off the rear wheel to get the belt on..
Kind of sucks this one does not have wood anywhere, I mean wood can be in the interior..
I think you could get a set of golf balls in the boot :]
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 😂
I was behind a group of 5 Caterham 7s going through Inverness today. They took off at speed heading for the quiet side of Loch Ness. Somebody must have told them about the empty twisty roads in that direction.
@@gordonmackenzie4512 G MAC ................it's the lure of every car guy ???
Oh, that's awesome!✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Good on 'em!
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. 😆
This guy Morgan sent matches the personality of the car. He is hugely British, totally odd, and 100% delightful.
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)
Lovely story.
Honestly, thank you for sharing!
great stuff
I love the car. using so many Miata parts, Why not the engine?😂😂😂
What a wonderful guest. Such a nice manner. Able to negotiate the progress in materials and engineering in a manner consistent with Morgan heritage.
Thank you for sharing with this wonderful story with the rest of us! Brought a tear to my eye
i honestly much prefer the 2012 design, much classier. this one seems neither here or there to me but HUGE CONGRATS to Morgan for being so bold. this is awesome as are all other morgans!!!! the only car company that excites me, try one for yourself
me too, I think this one's hideous.
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! ,✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
BUILD ONE! :)
Seriously, build something you want over the course of a year. Or just buy one
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.
The 3 wheel pot hole analogy is pure 100% fact.
I kept waiting for the designer to say "And Bob's your uncle., there you are!"
Robert Akroyd WAS my uncle. How did you know. 😉
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.
If you get the chance take a picture of that sign and post on google images.
@@williambarry8015 I have a picture as well as others I haven’t figured out how to upload them.
Isis Motors. My next-door neighbor worked there. They may have been working on importing propane-powered cars, if my recollection is correct. Mid-80s, anyway.
@@vecchiofalegname6149 I remember him converting them to gas but I thought it was propane to gas. It was a big deal to do, he had to do some crash testing and other things to satisfy the government.
@@56Spookdog Thanks. I remember there was some kind of conversion struggle that seemed to be never-ending. I *think* I remember the day they passed whatever it was. (My family had had two +4s, so I was interested. And I was driving a Triumph GT6 at the time: Working on it in the driveway was how I met my neighbor.)
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.
A true gem of a person.
NBC picked Leno; Carson wanted Letterman.
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!
@@petesmittLettermsn always seem too intellectual to me. Like he felt above others. His comedy always reflected that. Leno was easy going.
Glad he got the tonight show.
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.
Nice conversatoin between the two of them, you are just smiling the whole time you are watching this.
Beats the hell out of a slingshot IMHO.
Maybe Bombardier should be taking notes. edit: My mistake, Polaris
@@cyrilhudak4568 It's Polaris Slingshot, Bombardier makes the three-wheeled snowmobiles.
Looks better than a slingshot!
Slingshots are a piece of plastic junk
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.
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.
At least it's no longer a bulkhead!
Even so, as a bit of a Luddite, I do have an appreciation for a bit of wood in a motorcar...✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
agreed! i would have to get the wooden steering wheel @@scottimusgarrett15
The previous version with the S&S engine is the "right" bit of modern for me ... the new one is just a little less interesting.
I definitely prefer the prior generation - this version just lacks the charm, the oddball engine hanging out front.
Thank You Jay!
I love this car!
Terrible design in and out
2nd gen is timeless
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.
Nah. The V Twin sounded much better. I'd buy a used V Twin version over this.
This was an excellent episode. I had to laugh when I heard the test driver for Morgan was 90 years old.
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!
Dreadfully clunky design in comparison to its predecessors.
You need that extra luggage rack for the other shoe😂
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 could honestly see myself owning one of them. It must be a blast to drive.
when he said "bits and pieces" I thought for sure he was going to sat "bits and bobs"!
@@danielbuckner2167😂
But you poor asf😂
@KosherFinance These aren't that expensive, it's not a wraith
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 :)
When did Cushman start building Morgans? All kidding aside my oldest brother had a 1957 Morgan +4 and in my fantasies I won LeMans many times behind the wheel in the driveway.
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.....
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.😲
The world is a better place because Jay is in it…❤
It's an absolute shame they didnt use the 3 cylinder engine from the Triumph Rocket III.
the COJONES of Uncle Jay saying to the face of the chief designer that the older one is prettier...😆😆😆😆😆
I can't see myself buying any new "modern" car they're all so boring...but I could see myself buying one of these.
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?
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.
In this age of dull SUV's , it's nice to see quirky design still has a place in the car industry. Great episode.
Pretty cool! What a unique vehicle. 🤘🤠
oldest british car in production now thats sad from a brit that remembers just how big in manufacturing we used to be.
Older Morgan 3 wheelers were quirkie and cute, but this new one is pretty ugly IMHO.
Besides being impractical, it’s now ugly. At least the older ones have style.
