1932 Morgan Three-Wheeler. The oldest continuous British automobile manufacturer, the Morgan Motor Company was founded in 1909 by H.F.S. Morgan. A trained engineer, Morgan opened a garage business out of which he also sold cars and started one of England's first bus lines. After purchasing an early three-wheeled vehicle, Morgan decided to build one for personal use, with economy and speed as his ultimate goals.

The fact that Jay finds these vehicles, saves and restores them, then shares them with us over the internet shows what a kindhearted person he is. Hes is truly to be admired.

One of my oldest friends, Laurie Ball (an Aussie like me) had one of these in WWII when he was a navigator on a Lancaster Bomber in the UK. He said the Lanc was fun to fly in, but the Morgan three wheeler was closer to heaven. A brave man and greatly missed. Thanks Jay!

@thomashambly3718 6 лет назад

Sean Coyne my great uncle was in a Lancaster, he was actually on the raid that bombed the tirpitz, on his 27th mission, his Lancaster caught fire over Holland, he was a rear gunner so he didn't get out in time. He's currently in Holland somewhere, the funny thing is that they spelled the last name wrong on the memorial.

My grandpa had one of those 9 that came to Australia but he had the only one that was raced in a Grand Prix in Point Cook near Melbourne. He tells me it is the most fun car he ever had and regrets selling it everyday.

@johnburnsmorgan 11 лет назад

In the UK a three wheeled vehicle is classed as motor bike & sidecar. Jays knowledge of vehicles and knowledge of the period and how the cars were viewed at the time they were made is phenomenal. It is clear he enjoys driving the old cars that you "feel" the machine and the road simultaneously.

@falconoilcompany 10 лет назад

I happened to find this site by accident, and didn't realize until today, just how nice Mr Leno is. Ive never actually watched his show and never thought that he had a life beyond showbiz. Im glad that he has such a collection of important things, because engineering and the motor industry is such an important thing in todays throwaway world. Good luck to him, may he live long and prosper.

@chrisrefaei 11 лет назад

Jay leno"s Garage is the best show on RU-vid No other show comes close to the amount of content that he puts out with each one of his episodes. Its not just about the cars, its also about the amazing people that are behind the making of these works of art and amazing machinery, and the history of it all, and he grasps each and everyone of those points every time. Great Series Jay, keep up the Great work. I just wanted to let you know all of us enjoy your work and this hobby, thanks for sharing!

@MonteOlsen 11 лет назад

It would be fun just to watch Jay riding around town in his cars with a big smile on his face. Such a sight would certainly make me happy, too!

@Ozzienuck 10 лет назад

Thanks for that Jay. My Dad had a 1938 Super Sports 3 wheeler with the Matchless air cooled 1000cc engine. Same body style as your 32 model. Said it was the most exciting car he ever owned. Being a motorcycle racer and tuner in the 40s he'd managed to get about 90 hp out of the engine. They used to race these in motorcycle and sidecar events, carrying a passenger to hang off when necessary. Apparently the very top racing model had a Blackburn engine which I heard put out 130 hp, but that may be hearsay. Anyway, my Dad had to sell his and buy a lowly Austin 7when I came along in 1949. I don't think he ever forgave me.

I like these videos because it reminds me of taking long trips with my dad as a kid. He spends more time talking to you than he does paying attention to the road. Then you are in constant fear of him getting into an accident. Good times, good times.

@mdsavin 6 лет назад

I just love this car. My dad had 3 trikes: a red '36 Beetleback SS, a BRG '51 2-place barrelback, and a blue '51 4-place barrelback. I loved those cars - as well as the 4-wheel Morgans which dad was a dealer for in the 1950s. I myself own a '54 2-place +4. Bob Oker drove dad's '54 Morgan to a number of wins. Dad brought the first AC Bristol into the USA in '56 and Bob went on to win many races with that...

Jay looks like the cad from an Agatha Christie murder-mystery in that car. The Morgan three-wheeler is the perfect embodiment of old England. I love the Brough Superior connection with the engine and what a beautiful noise! I've owned a few V-twin motorcycles and I know what Jay means by the machine gun sound of the motor when you gun it. Lots of more powerful vehicles in Jay's Garage, but none more charming. Bravo!

Watching your videos has inspired me to fix up my 66 bridgestone 90 sport motorcycle I had it running a few years ago and its so much fun 10hp at 9k rpm 88cc two stroke its sounds so badass and will cruise nice at 55 with the 4 speed cyclical trani you can just keep kicking down or up through all the gears and neutral has its own position instead of being between 1st and 2nd the bike had 1998 miles on it when I got it and still has the original front tire the back tire was on it but I changed it and someone threw away the old one it should be in a museum it will run again if its the last thing I do

@jaimepowell5033 5 лет назад

Beautiful car, err, motorcycle, err, vehicle (yeah, let's go with vehicle.) I read somewhere that Mr. Morris was racing these in club races in England and got banned. Not because it was a motorcycle, but because the cars in the class couldn't beat it. A lot of cars in the 1930s couldn't go 60 mph, much 80. Thanks Jay for keeping it on the road.

@branzilla7833 9 лет назад

He was really on with the jokes in this one. I especially liked his first; "You've heard of the smart car? this is the dumb car".. and he was right that rag top looks totally stupid! How about his last, if you have an accident they just lower the whole thing into the ground".. And the way that back end hops around? This is the funniest video he's made.

@sabre2x135 4 года назад

I used to have a Triumph Spitfire that felt like that. It had lowered suspension and was so low to the ground, that 60mph felt like 100mph. Great fun!

@donelmore2540 4 года назад

When I was looking for a Morgan after I got out of the Army in 1969, I went to Sutton & Widdefield in West LA. They had several 3 wheelers out back and said that, if I wanted to test drive one, I’d have to crank it myself. Some USC football player came in and cranked it pushing down rather than pulling up. The car reversed cycle and the crank went back and broke the guy’s arm. I ended up buying a 4/4. LOL

@CAMacKenzie 8 лет назад

Several years ago I saw Jay Leno in North Hollywood driving another 3 wheeler--not a Morgan, but something that I believe was home-made in the 1920s or '30s. As I recall, it had a beam front axle and I remember reading later that was built from a motorcycle, so the engine was behind the seat. He was sitting off-center, like there was supposed to be room for 2, but I doubt that 2 the size of Jay would have even come close to fitting.

8 лет назад

+Colin MacKenzie that car was called the Shotwell. jay did a vid on it and posted it here.. I first saw it in a car magazine. it's a homebuilt car built by a teenager. motorcycle engine, handmade aluminum body and a bunch of salvaged car parts. the kid drove it 150,000 miles. pretty impressive. it is a two seater.

He bacame a Steam Turbine expert because in Vietnam he was a airplane mechanic U.S.Airforce and afterwards he needed a job turning wrenches only Porsche and Audi ,VW were using a lot of Turbo technology so they hired him because of the Turbine training the Air Force gave him and some certifications he was just happy to get out of Vietnam alive and wanted to start a normal life with his wife ! He was happy to be able to help you out and enjoyed that project
