Morgans
« on: June 21, 2016, 03:38:18 PM »
While visiting England I ran across a few Morgans that were out running around for the day. Thought some of you might like the pics.

I bet you didn't realise Morgan are putting them back into production - http://www.morgan-motor.co.uk/3-wheeler
2-litre V-twin engine, that should make the teeth rattle!
Not sure how long Morgan's order book is nowadays - it used to be several years, but I believe its shorter nowadays

I love the machines, but I admit I keep expecting to see horses...

That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

One the guys in our office turned up in one the other day with a gurt great 2 litre S&S X Wedge lump up front.



No power steering and no power brakes. Apparently if gives you a bit of a work out if you're "making progress" as they say  :thumb:

I've marked my interest with "domestic management" but reality says a Triking is probably more within budget http://trikingsportscars.co.uk/

PS sorry about the top box on the B11  :embarrassed:

I spotted this one at the Delta Diner in NW Wisconsin.  Minnesota plates.  Quite handsome in the flesh.
