I once drove a new one, a 2013 and they're just phenomenale. The sound, tha acceleration, the unwanted little drifts around the corners. Could do it every day for the rest of my life
Somehow, a Morgan vee-twin racing a decent course seems the essence of motor-sport. You can keep the red Italian stuff, and even the other Brit gear, the Moggie does it for me. The smell of Castrol R and burnt methanol and the sight of such a lovely thing drifting round the corners is “it”. Thank you for a great video. Les
I've seen these in person... As for several years, I lived two doors from Morgan West, in Santa Monica, Calif... I believe I may have seen, a darn good representation of nearly every era and model of Morgans...
I used to rappel out of helicopters to neutralize explosive devices and was involved in one too many accidents but I love the old airplanes. I fell in love with a certain one though. It is a 1928 Morgan RIP with a GN rear making it a special. It has aircraft fabric and plasticizer dope sprayed over it. I am in the states and that is the only one in existence that I am aware of so I am building one from scratch using an opposed twin experimental aircraft motor to which I cast and machined an adapter to an MGB 4 speed transmission giving it a reverse gear and then through a driveshaft to an MGB rear differential with juice brakes and those beautiful wire wheels. I am using as close to the color of the original red as I can find for the fabric. It will have a wooden and metal frame and be almost an exact replica . The differences will be mainly safety such as A-arm front suspension and a pumped and pressurized fuel cell. It will look like it just needs a prop and wings and it could lift off. I will be starting to video the build as soon as my equipment comes in.
@@JonasRosenven That video is a classic! 😄 The happiest pair of bald men ever recorded! Shame Matt went away from doing videos like these. He only does modern cars now, and stupid TV-like shows.
0:42 The first red car is the Alfa Romeo carazzata tz2. The carazzata is the transmission, and tz stands for tubular zagato, the one who made this aerodynamic body using plane aero physics.
Loved every part of this! Then sound of their engines, they way they handle. Looks like so much fun. What I don't understand is: They don't have headlights. Maybe you don't need them for this up hill run, and because it is held during the day. Other ones I have seen, old ones like these, almost always have headlights and tiny rear marker lights. I see them and imagine if they had wings,...like an old bi-plane, I could imagine them taking to the air. Marvelous,....keep 'em running, gentlemen!
I'd love to do a crazy project with a three wheeler. Like adding either a diffuser on both sides of the rear wheel, and/or massive rear splitter for downforce. Active rear splitters, to activate downforce on the inside when cornering. It would probably have a similar feel, like driving a side car. The goal would be to achieve as much grip on the rear, as a good 4 wheel sports car. Still, would also love to drive one, that's completely, intact original.
Those things could really go by the looks of things. Especially with the right driver. I'm pretty sure I watched a clip here on RUclips of Sue Darbyshire racing that Morgan...

What a glorious sound they make
Fantastic 3-Wheelers,the true essence of Morgan
I would really love to take a drive in one of those.
As i hear , the Morgan 3-Wheeler Is scary af to ride
@@elyasblondlet5862 makes me wanna drive it even more
@@adrianwelgemoed9562 if i Can ride a Morgan 3-wheler i' would do it too

These things are always amazing. Really has that feel of being sat in a vintage plane when in one.

Man, crashing and/or rolling in these things must be terrifying! Still amazing to see them raced!
Now that's a Hot Rod.
This video made my day (which didn't start great). Thanks! Love three-wheeled Moggies!

Listening to this video without looking reminds me of a vintage Harley Davidson. Gotta love that v twin power!
The "new" ones (2012 and so) which morgan built actually have v2 engines from the manufacturer that also builts engines for harley.

Correction, Alfa Romeo Giulia carazzata tz2
Love the prewar racing machines, great to see them flex, and as always amazing corner angles. entry and exit!!
i love this stuff. these guys are enjoying life. the sound of the engines is awesome
Hola que hermoso video, muy buen audio solo ruido de los motores, me encantó.los felicito. Desde Colonia Uruguay.
the Morgans sound glorious! brilliant
What a strange idle
I saw that the driver is pushing the pedal a little bit, that's probably the reason :)
It’s a narrow angle V with a lopey cam. It’s probably hard to keep it idling without it cutting out, hence the reving.
Quite possible the carbs don't have idle circuits...
@@paultinwell5557 that's the little bypass thingy right? A small opening that diverts air past the throttle valve?
Gddd-burr gdd-purr
Just brilliant... lovely sound...
I'm jealous....😭😭😅😅👍

To cool, what an experience that must be!
It is a Beautiful idle,music to the ear 👂

2 super cool ladies running up that hill! Good for you, lasses…
They sound glorious.
When 1 thumb-up just isn't enough.
Brilliant !
Now that looks like fun.
Love to see a modern version
4:18 gorgeous view
Epic machines, made to run to the mountain top. Cool sound and great video 19Bozzy92👍😎
bravo aux pilotes ...ça doit pas être simple à piloter ces engins...
Always loved morgans,
Cool car! It sounds like a motorcycle. Fascinating engine note!
Yup like Harley Davidson with V twin.
@@farhanpratama0285 Exactly!
Yup!
Супер техника 😍👍
A guy in Massachusetts that I bought my Spitfire from, used to restore these (and Moran cars) and race them.
excellent
I want to drive Morgan 3 wheeler someday.
It has the old designed Anzani engine :)
What a machine
スタートでホイルスピンしててかっちょ良すぎる👍👍
Вот это техника😍
EVERY time I see one of these I think of Peter Sellers, "The Party."
Nice car
The green one sounds like something out of War of the Worlds.
Great 😊
As much as I don't like positive camber, these look right with it. Can't really tell what kind of front suspension it has, though.
the way it snarls as the rpms fall...
100y old trikes🥰
Those things could really go by the looks of things. Especially with the right driver.
I'm pretty sure I watched a clip here on RUclips of Sue Darbyshire racing that Morgan...
Those daring girls certainly new to lean into the corners.
New??? Really? KNEW.
I once drove a need one
👌👌
I went thru a local drivethru behind one and in the passenger side was an airedale with goggles
👍👍👍👍
Nice car bro 😭
I would love to built one
70.....75....80....85....ARRRGGGHHH!
👍👍👍
I am sure that during the 50s some of these three wheelers were using Vincent 998 engines.
No
Matchless engines
Homer simpsom
I think I just had a Morgazm
I'm building one now from scratch with a supercharged V-Rod engine.
any old iron any old iron
I see him using a pump handle under the dash is that for fuel or oil. I am unfamiliar with this vehicle.
Pressurized tank instead of a fuel pump I guess.... and she not him, they both had female drivers.
No hand throttle?
sorry sir do you know the link to buy or want to sell the morgan aero engine since 1926
any old iron, any old iron.....
Sounds like a cat sitting on your lap!
What, no pall of blue smoke from the exhaust, or oil leaks? Can't possibly be British!
And what about the weight and horses? 😅
Must be strange driving that thing
I thought those things were front wheel drive. Thank you for the video
Oh they don't make cars like that anymore......oh they do
Ouah ! It's funny ! :o)
Oh Boy
that guy who is constantly revving his engine is a big show-off. How about adjusting the idling carburetor?
Not a huge fan of the engine noise but dope car
Best sound ever!
Its a V twin,
Notably called a motorcycle engine.
Eeeer
Funny shit, almost car 🤣
Weirdness
They sound glorious
