Morgan Super 3
The Morgan Super 3 is Morgan's current open three-wheeler and the successor to the 3-Wheeler, which ended production in 2021. Unveiled in February 2022 and built by hand in Malvern, it is the first Morgan with a welded aluminium unibody - there is no ash-wood frame beneath the bodywork - powered by a Ford 1.5-litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder engine with 118bhp and 110 lb-ft, mated to a Mazda-sourced five-speed manual driving the rear wheel through a bevel gear and belt. With no roof, doors or windscreen as standard, it is sold in the UK as a fair-weather weekend toy rather than daily transport, priced from around £35,000 when new. Production volumes are tiny, so examples are rare on the used market, but the Ford mechanicals are familiar to any independent garage while the Morgan bodywork and trim need specialist attention. It suits buyers who want maximum theatre and minimum pretence and are happy to dress for the weather.

Common Faults & Reliability
These are the most common documented problems for the Morgan Super 3, sorted by their typical impact and frequency.
Brake Pedal Feel and Linkage Interference
low severityThe Super 3's unassisted pedal box layout offers modest pedal feedback, and the linkage geometry can cause the driver's right footwear to catch on adjacent brackets when pivoting rapidly between the accelerator and brake pedal. While braking effort is adequate once firmly applied, the tight pedal spacing and spongy early travel demand acclimatisation on twisty UK B-roads and can compromise braking confidence in wet conditions.
Fly Screen Distorts the View
low severityThe Super 3's optional polycarbonate aeroscreen is designed to deflect airflow and surface spray away from the cockpit, but early batch mouldings suffered from pronounced optical distortion around the curved outer edges that warps the driver's forward perspective. The reduced screen area also provides minimal deflection at UK national speed limits, causing heavy buffeting and road spray in the cockpit without protective eye goggles.
Pedal Box Housing Weld Defect and Master Cylinder Movement
high severityOn early-production 2023 Super 3 models, third-party manufactured pedal box housings were fabricated outside engineering drawing specifications with defective welds at the master cylinder mounting flange. Under repeated or hard emergency braking, weld fracture permits the master cylinder to deflect, breaking the hydraulic hose seal or binding the brake assembly so the pedal fails to return, creating a critical safety hazard.
