Morgan 3-Wheeler (Modern)

Production Years: 2011 - 20213 Documented Faults

The modern Morgan 3-Wheeler, launched in 2011, is a joyous, eccentric revival of the company's origins, combining a tubular steel chassis, an ash wood frame, and an exposed S&S V-twin motorcycle engine. It offers a totally unfiltered, bug-in-the-teeth driving experience that feels faster at 40mph than most supercars do at 100mph. In the UK, it is highly prized as the ultimate eccentric weekend toy, guaranteeing smiles from both the driver and onlookers. Reliability is notoriously patchy; early cars suffered from severe chassis cracking, bevel box issues, and electrical faults. It is strictly for adventurous buyers who want a mechanical, tactile experience and are prepared to tinker.
