Rebuilding a 113 year old car company, 3 wheels at a time: Morgan Super 3! 

UPDATE: Since the production of this episode, Morgan Motor Cars has updated the pricing. They are now no longer charging a 'Rest of the World' fee as contained in this episode. For more information on up today US pricing & specs, we highly suggest you contact Morgans West (morganwest.net/).

Anyone taking one of these remotely close to 130mph on the open road has a much bigger yam bag than me. Love it though.

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.

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...😂

I agree with you on the gauges. This car needs analog gauges.

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.

"So, yes, they stand out, but in the process they also become a douche bag" Love it! 🤣

Save the Morgan Car Company !!! They deserve it !

You had me at Miata gearbox!❤ Always enjoy your Morgan episodes, they look like a hoot to drive.

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.

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.

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.

Surprising! But I’m glad you showed us!! Another quality review.

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.

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.

Outstanding! Far better than the other three-wheelers on offer here.

My bucket list car is finally coming.

Great show! I've subscribed!

Found your scewdriver!!!

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 RU-vid👍🏻

I love the Morgan brand ❤❤

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

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 ?

From the front it looks like a spider without fangs..... What a beauty......

Small cars feel faster slow than big cars!

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.

Bis später, MotoMan!

I like the new Plymouth prowler!

Have you heard of the Vanderhall Venice? You could buy two for that price.

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! 👍

I like motorcycles, I like convertibles (esp Miatas). What's not to love?

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

Stand out review. Congratulations on 250k subscribers

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!

Sinceramente prefería el modelo anterior con su motor en v

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

Love to get one. I wonder if the front end and drive line will be more reliable.

Trailing 3rd wheels need a mechanism for sweeping the 'demon zone' middle of the lane. Leading 3rd wheels are forked.

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.

No thank you. The V twin up front is essential for a 3 wheeler.

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

Nice review, but a quibble - there's no reason a 3-wheeler need have any greater turning radius than a 4-wheeler.

Rough road rough ride, da.

Pembleton t24 look it up. You can get a twin engine.

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.

I would go for the Aptera.

They should only come in one colour 😂 British racing green

What a pity Morgan didn’t fit in the Miata engine

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. Apologies for being off-topic but I'm just trying to clean up this mess. Feels like YT is a dying platform if I am being brutally honest but I digress. Nevertheless, keep up the great work George and as always... Stay classy my friend.

It’s one thing to build a car like that, but what’s the market for that ?

cool car but they should have used the rocket 3 engine

15:33 Brake Failure lol

Nice, but I like the previous generation.

Pedantic, eh. I learned a new word today.

The very car that killed off BBCs Top Gear (By almost killing one of the presenters)

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.

That's all for import duties? Close to 5% ???? In Brazil it's closer to 125%

The US market headlight arrangement is awful

So few colours available? For decades you could have any colour available from their supplier (ICI?), over 40000 of them.

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.

By the way it's pronounced mawl vehn hilz not mal as in pal mull-vern hills is close enough maybe easier for amaricans to grasp

Go for the real thing and get a Pembleton!

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.

This was the car that flipped and severely injured, Top Gear presenter, Freddie Flintoff, who hasn’t been seen in public since the accident?

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.

The three cyl Ford has a really bad rep, unfortunately. There are videos about it here on YT

1909 not 1919.

So this or C8 corvette?

That engine is a headache, try charging the timing belt.

Get an Aptera

Just to get you to 100 comments...

It replaced a good looking car with something that looks like a kit car.

It is a rich man’s toy.

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

Toss a turbo charger on that thing and all your problems will be solved.

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.

Needs a turbo

Nah. Cool, but not remotely cool as the more "vintage" Morgan with the S&S motor.

Hell no to the engine

I hope the good times last if one can spend that type of money for what amounts to a Toy car. Very nice but unpractical and over priced .

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!

As useless as electronic cigarettes.

If I could afford a Morgan 3 wheeler I’d get a used V twin. This looks really boring. No spirit!

eh just buy a replica cobra, this moggie is too mod

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.

It's not as striking nor as pretty as its predecessor.

So Morgan ruined the Morgan, typical.

Congratulations to Morgan you have made what is probably one of the most ugly vehicles in existence. 🙏🏼

You've just got to be kidding, it's hideous. 🤢

You ruined the car

Morgan ruined a classic.

Awful car just awful.

I would like to be dead within the hour, what would you recommend......???

way over priced!

This was a good pick for your channel Motoman. 🩷👍🏾
