Narrator:
THE MORGAN MOTOR COMPANY

HAS BEEN BUILDING CARS
HERE AT MALVERN LINK

ON PICKERSLEIGH ROAD
IN MALVERN, ENGLAND,

FOR OVER 100 YEARS.

THE COMPANY WAS FOUNDED
BY HENRY MORGAN IN 1910.

THE FIRST CAR HE BUILT
WAS A 3-WHEELED VEHICLE

WHICH HE CALLED A RUNABOUT.

THIS IS AN EXACT REPLICA
OF THE FIRST PRODUCTION MODEL.

THE CARS WERE SOON SO POPULAR
THAT THE FACTORY IN MALVERN

HAD TROUBLE MEETING DEMAND.

THE 3 WHEELER WAS LIGHTWEIGHT,

FUN, AND INEXPENSIVE,

MAKING MOTORING MORE ACCESSIBLE
TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

IT WAS ALSO FAST.

BY 1914,
IT HAD ALREADY ESTABLISHED

10 BRITISH AND WORLD RECORDS.

THE NEW MORGAN 3 WHEELER
IS BASED ON

THE FAMOUS MORGAN SUPERSPORTS
FROM THE 1930s.

BUT WITH A HIGH
POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO

AND A TOP SPEED
OF 115 MILES PER HOUR,

THIS IS NO ANTIQUE.

IN A MORGAN 3 WHEELER,
THE SEATS ARE FIXED.

THAT MEANS IF A DRIVER WANTS

MORE COMFORTABLE ACCESS
TO THE PEDALS,

THEY ADJUST THE PEDALS,
NOT THE SEAT.

THIS CNC LASER DEVICE CUTS SLOTS
IN THE STEEL FLOOR PANELS.

THE SLOTS ALLOW
FOR DIFFERENT PEDAL POSITIONS,

DEPENDING ON THE HEIGHT
OF THE DRIVER.

THE MACHINE ALSO CUTS THE PANEL

WHERE THE SEAT BELTS GET
BOLTED DOWN BEHIND THE SEATS.

A WORKER NOW USES
A POWERFUL BENDING MACHINE

TO FORM ANOTHER PART.

THIS IS THE GEARBOX FIXING,

WHICH WILL BE MOUNTED
DIRECTLY TO THE CHASSIS.

THE EARLY MORGAN 3 WHEELERS

HAD JUST TWO GEARS
AND NO REVERSE.

WITH A REVERSE AND FIVE GEARS,

THE MODERN DAY VERSION
IS THOROUGHLY UP-TO-DATE.

NO MONOCOQUE
FOR THE MORGAN 3 WHEELER.

HERE, THEY MAKE THE CHASSIS
THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY.

A WORKER USES A BENDING MACHINE

TO SHAPE TUBES
FOR THE MAIN CHASSIS RAILS.

THESE TUBES ARE MADE
OF MILD STEEL,

ALSO KNOWN
AS PLAIN CARBON STEEL.

FROM THE VERY BEGINNING,
MORGAN 3 WHEELERS

HAVE BEEN KNOWN FOR
THEIR EXCEPTIONAL DURABILITY.

COMPETING ON
MUDDY, BUMPY COURSES

IN RELIABILITY TRIALS
DURING THE 1920s,

THE LIGHTWEIGHT, RUGGED
3 WHEELERS WERE SO FAST

RACE ORGANIZERS REQUIRED
THAT THEY START A LAP BEHIND

THEIR 4-WHEELED COMPETITION.

A BLADE RISES FROM A TABLE

TO CUT A TUBE
THAT'S BEEN CLAMPED DOWN.

THIS CUT,
CALLED A SCALLOP END,

WILL FIT TO ANOTHER TUBE
AT AN ANGLE.

WITH EACH COMPONENT OF THE CAR

METICULOUSLY AND INDIVIDUALLY
FORMED LIKE THIS,

IT'S NO WONDER CUSTOMERS MUST
WAIT AT LEAST A YEAR

FOR THEIR ORDER TO BE FILLED.

THE COMPONENTS FOR
THE REAR SECTION OF THE CHASSIS

HAVE BEEN FORMED AND PREPARED
FOR ASSEMBLY.

A TECHNICIAN NOW CLAMPS
EACH PART

IN A COMPLEX JIG SYSTEM

AND TACK WELDS THEM IN PLACE
AS HE GOES.

THE REAR SECTION OF THE CHASSIS
INCLUDES THE SEAT BELT MOUNTS,

THE REAR FUEL TANK
ATTACHMENT POINTS,

MOUNTING FOR THE ROLL HOOP BARS,

AND THE ATTACHMENT POINTS
FOR THE REAR SWING ARM.

SOME PARTS OF THE CHASSIS
STRUCTURE WILL BE EXPOSED.

THE MECHANICS OF THE VEHICLE
ARE PART OF ITS APPEARANCE,

SO IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
THAT THE TECHNICIAN

WELDS THE COMPONENTS TOGETHER

WITH A FOCUS ON AESTHETIC APPEAL
AS WELL AS STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY.

IN THIS SENSE, THE 3 WHEELER
RESEMBLES A MOTORCYCLE.

IN FACT, 3 WHEELERS ARE
OFFICIALLY CLASSED

AS MOTORCYCLES

AND EVEN USED TO BE CALLED
CYCLE CARS.

WITH THE REAR SECTION
FULLY ASSEMBLED,

IT'S NOW TIME TO UNITE IT
WITH THE REST OF THE CHASSIS.

THAT MEANS A BIGGER JIG.

THE TECHNICIAN CLAMPS
THE REAR SECTION

AND THEN BEGINS TO ADD
OTHER COMPONENTS.

HERE'S THE FLOOR PANEL WITH
THE DIFFERENT PEDAL POSITIONS.

NEXT IS THE FRONT ROLL BAR.

ONCE HE'S CLAMPED ALL
THE COMPONENTS FIRMLY IN PLACE,

HE BEGINS WELDING.

NO LONGER TACK WELDING,

HE USES A PENETRATIVE WELD
TO FUSE THE JOINTS TOGETHER.

THANKS TO A LOW CARBON CONTENT,

MILD STEEL WELDS EASILY.

ONCE COMPLETE, THE CHASSIS
IS READY FOR A BATH.

10 BATHS, IN FACT.

THIS IS A RUST-PROOFING PROCESS
CALLED AUTOPHORETIC COATING.

FIRST, THE CHASSIS MUST UNDERGO
A THOROUGH CLEANING PROCESS

BEFORE FINALLY DIPPING INTO

A VAT OF
PVDC RESIN-BASED LIQUID.

THIS MATERIAL PROTECTS EVERY
NOOK AND CRANNY OF THE STEEL.

FINALLY, A TECHNICIAN WEARING
A FULL BODY SUIT

AND EQUIPPED WITH
AN INDEPENDENT AIR SUPPLY

SPRAYS THE CHASSIS WITH
A COATING OF BLACK PAINT.

BRIGHT MULTIDIRECTIONAL LIGHTING

ENSURES HE DOESN'T MISS
ANYTHING.

THE CHASSIS IS NOW READY
FOR THE NEXT STEP.

Narrator: THERE AREN'T MANY CARS
THAT REQUIRE

A FULLY OPERATIONAL WOODSHOP

AND THE TECHNICAL SKILLS
OF A TRAINED CARPENTER.

THE HANDCRAFTED ASH WOOD FRAME
OF A MORGAN 3 WHEELER

IS ONE OF
ITS SIGNATURE ELEMENTS.

A CRAFTSMAN BEGINS THE PROCESS

OF LAMINATING TOGETHER
SECTIONS OF ASH.

ASH IS THE WOOD THAT MORGAN
HAS TRADITIONALLY USED

TO CREATE ITS CAR FRAMES.

THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S TOUGH,
STRONG, AND LIGHTWEIGHT.

THE WOODWORKER LAYERS
FIVE PLIES OF ASH.

HE PUTS GLUE BETWEEN EACH LAYER,

ENSURING THE ADHESIVE
IS EVENLY SPREAD.

ONCE IT'S GLUED TOGETHER,

HE PLACES THE 5-LAYER LAMINATE
ON A FORM.

HE BENDS IT TO MATCH
THE FORM SHAPE

AND SECURES IT FIRMLY IN PLACE
WITH STRAPS.

HE INSERTS THE FORM AND LAMINATE
INTO A LARGE VACUUM BAG

AND SEALS IT.

A PUMP SUCKS THE AIR
OUT OF THE BAG,

SQUEEZING THE LAMINATE
TIGHTLY TO THE FORM.

THIS ENSURES THE PLIES WILL CURE
IN THE EXACT SHAPE OF THE FORM.

THE CRAFTSMAN CREATES

EACH OF THE COMPONENTS
OF THE WOODEN FRAME

WITH PAINSTAKING ATTENTION
TO DETAIL.

THE WOODWORKER NOW BEGINS
THE ASSEMBLY PROCESS --

DRILLING, GLUING,

CLAMPING, AND SCREWING
THE PIECES TOGETHER.

HE CAREFULLY AND METHODICALLY
BUILDS THE FRAME.

WHILE
THE CURVED WOODEN STRUCTURE

IS REMINISCENT OF BOAT BUILDING,

THE DESIGNERS OF THE 3 WHEELER
ACTUALLY LOOKED TO AVIATION

FOR INSPIRATION.

AND THE COMPLETED CAR

DOES LOOK A BIT LIKE
AN OLD-FASHIONED AIRPLANE.

THIS NOD TO AVIATION HAS
HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE

FOR MORGAN.

DURING THE WORLD WAR I,

A FLYING ACE NAMED
CAPTAIN ALBERT BALL

DROVE A CUSTOM-MADE
GRAND PRIX 3 WHEELER.

HE SAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR WAS
THE NEAREST THING TO FLYING

WITHOUT LEAVING THE GROUND.

TRAGICALLY, CAPTAIN BALL
WAS SHOT DOWN AND KILLED.

TO COMMEMORATE HIM,

MORGAN CALLED THEIR NEXT MODEL
THE AERO.

HERE, WE SEE THE FRAME
BEGIN TO TAKE SHAPE.

THE CRAFTSMAN PLACES
THE BOTTOM SECTION

IN A PURPOSE BUILD JIG
AND WEDGES IT INTO PLACE.

HE THEN ATTACHES A STABILIZING
BAR TO THE FRONT SECTION.

THIS STABILIZER TEMPORARILY
MAINTAINS THE FORM OF THE FRAME.

IT WILL LATER BE REMOVED WHEN
THE FINISHED FRAMEWORK AND BODY

ARE FITTED TO THE CAR.

WITH THE BOTTOM SECTION
COMPLETE,

IT'S NOW TIME FOR THE WOODWORKER
TO BEGIN ADDING

THE TOP AND SIDES.

NEXT, HE INSTALLS
A CURVED SECTION

THAT WILL SUPPORT
THE FRONT BULKHEAD.

HE WILL INSTALL
A SECOND CURVED SECTION

WHICH WILL FORM PART OF WHAT
THE MANUFACTURERS CALL

THE REAR CLAMSHELL.

THE FRAME NEEDS A SKIN.

HERE, WORKERS FORM
THE ALUMINUM BODY PANELS

FOR THE 3 WHEELER.

THIS DEVICE USES THREE ROLLERS

THAT HAVE BEEN CALIBRATED
TO BEND A PANEL

TO A SPECIFIED CURVE.

NEXT, A WORKER USES
A HAND-POWERED TOOL

TO CREATE A SHARPER CURVE
AT ONE END OF THE PIECE.

THIS SIDE PANEL WILL WRAP AROUND
ONE SIDE OF THE CAR,

FROM THE FRONT TO THE TAIL.

BEFORE THE PANELS
CAN BE ATTACHED,

A CRAFTSMAN APPLIES A SPECIAL
ADHESIVE TO THE WOOD FRAME.

IT'S A 2-PART
LIQUID RESIN POWDER HARDENER,

SPECIFICALLY FORMULATED
FOR LAMINATING CURVED PANELS.

LIKE SQUIRES PUTTING ARMOR
ON A KNIGHT,

TWO TECHNICIANS BEGIN CAREFULLY
INSTALLING THE ALUMINUM PANELS

ON THE FRAME.

THIS IS THE MAIN PART
OF THE BODY.

TO ENSURE A TIGHT BOND,

THEY SECURE THE METAL
TO THE WOOD

WITH CLOSELY SPACED CLAMPS.

TAKING NO CHANCES, THEY ALSO
SCREW THE PANELS IN PLACE.

THIS HELPS TIGHTEN THE BOND

BETWEEN WOOD, ADHESIVE,
AND METAL.

NEXT, THEY ADD
THE FRONT SECTION,

WHERE THE ENGINE WILL
EVENTUALLY SIT.

THE TECHNICIANS INSTALL
THE SIDE PANELS

IN THE SAME MANNER.

THE PANELS FEATURE
THREE LOUVERS ON EACH SIDE.

THESE LOUVERS
ARE DECORATIVE FEATURES

WHICH RESEMBLE THE LOOK OF
THE EARLIER MORGAN 3 WHEELERS.

THE WORKER BRINGS
THE REAR TRUNK LID TO THE CAR

AND ATTACHES IT.

THEN IT'S TIME TO INSTALL
THE HOOD,

WHICH HAS A FRONTPIECE
CALLED A COWL.

THE WINGED
MORGAN 3 WHEELER EMBLEM

IS THE FINISHING TOUCH.

Narrator: EVERY DETAIL
OF THE MORGAN 3 WHEELER

HAS BEEN CONSIDERED.

NOT ONLY DOES THE CAR LOOK LIKE
A SMALL AIRPLANE ON WHEELS,

THE LEATHER USED TO UPHOLSTER IT
COMES FROM A MANUFACTURER

THAT SUPPLIES
THE AVIATION INDUSTRY.

A CRAFTSMAN BEGINS THE PROCESS

OF CREATING THE COVER
FOR THE UPPER SEAT BACK.

USING A TEMPLATE, HE CUTS OUT
THE SHAPE REQUIRED.

NEXT, HE STARTS MARKING OUT
A QUILTING PATTERN.

WHEN CUSTOMERS ORDER
THEIR 3 WHEELERS,

THEY CAN CHOOSE FROM A VARIETY
OF DIFFERENT UPHOLSTERY OPTIONS.

NOT ONLY CAN THEY SPECIFY
THE COLOR THEY WANT,

THEY CAN REQUEST
SPECIAL STITCHING PATTERNS.

QUILTED LEATHER
IS A POPULAR CHOICE.

EVEN THOUGH THE 3 WHEELER
IS A TINY CAR,

IT TAKES TWO HIDES
TO FULLY UPHOLSTER ONE VEHICLE.

MORGAN SOURCES
A PORTION OF THEIR LEATHER

FROM A COMPANY
COMMITTED TO MANUFACTURING

WITH A LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT.

THEY PROCESS THE HIDES LEFT OVER
FROM COMMERCIAL ABATTOIRS

AND USE WASTE PRODUCTS

THAT WOULD OTHERWISE
GO INTO A LANDFILL

TO GENERATE HEAT AND STEAM
FOR DRYING LEATHER

AND HEATING WATER.

THEY ALSO TURN SKIN GREASE
BYPRODUCT INTO FUEL OIL.

TO QUILT LEATHER,
YOU NEED A GOOD BACKING.

THE CRAFTSMAN PLACES
THE PIECE OF LEATHER

OVER A PIECE
OF THIN FOAM BACKING.

HE WILL THEN SPRAY AN ADHESIVE

ON THE UNFINISHED SIDE
OF THE LEATHER

IN ORDER TO GLUE IT TO THE FOAM.

LEATHER IS
THE MATERIAL OF CHOICE

FOR UPHOLSTERING CARS,

THANKS TO ITS UNIQUE QUALITIES
OF COMFORT AND DURABILITY.

WHEN CUTTING THE BACKING,

HE LEAVES A MARGIN
THAT WILL BE TRIMMED LATER.

ONCE HE'S FINISHED
THIS OPERATION,

THE MATERIAL WILL BE READY
TO HEAD TO THE SEWING AREA,

WHERE QUILTING CAN BEGIN.

THIS CRAFTSMAN STITCHES
THE PATTERN OUTLINED IN WHITE.

WORKING BY EYE,
HE MUST TAKE CARE

NOT TO DEVIATE FROM THE DESIGN.

BESIDES COMFORT AND DURABILITY,

LEATHER HAS A LONG LIST
OF PROPERTIES

THAT MAKE IT POPULAR
WITH CAR MANUFACTURERS.

NOT ONLY DOES IT HAVE
A HIGH TENSILE STRENGTH,

IT'S ALSO RESISTANT TO TEARING,
PUNCTURE, ABRASION,

FIRE, AND MILDEW.

IT'S WARM IN WINTER
AND COOL IN SUMMER.

THANKS TO ITS ABILITY TO HOLD
LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER,

IT CAN ABSORB PERSPIRATION
AND LATER LET IT DISSIPATE.

WHEN THE STITCHING PROCESS
IS COMPLETE,

THE QUILTED LEATHER PIECE
RETURNS HERE.

THE CRAFTSMAN PREPARES
THE STRUCTURAL COMPONENT

OF THE UPPER SEAT BACK.

LIKE THE REST OF
THE MORGAN 3 WHEELER FRAME,

IT'S MADE OF WOOD.

THE WORKER SPRAYS AN ADHESIVE
ON THE WOOD,

WHICH WILL ALLOW HIM TO ATTACH
A PIECE OF SEAT FOAM

FOR CUSHIONING.

HE THEN CAREFULLY TRIMS THE FOAM

SO THAT IT CONFORMS TO THE SHAPE
OF THE WOOD'S SUBSTRATE.

THIS CUTOUT IN THE HEADREST

WILL ACCOMMODATE
THE SEAT BELT SYSTEM.

IT'S NOW TIME
FOR THE FINAL STEP

OF MOUNTING THE QUILTED LEATHER
ONTO THE SUBSTRATE.

MARKING THE BACKING TO ENSURE

THAT IT REMAINS
PERFECTLY ALIGNED WITH THE WOOD,

THE CRAFTSMAN SLOWLY AND
CAREFULLY ATTACHES THE LEATHER

WITH DOZENS OF STAPLES.

FOR THIS TASK, HE USES A GUN
POWERED BY COMPRESSED AIR.

IT TAKES
APPROXIMATELY NINE HOURS

TO FULLY PREPARE THE UPHOLSTERY
FOR A MORGAN 3 WHEELER.

THE LEATHER WORKER NEEDS
2 1/2 HOURS

JUST TO CUT ALL THE PIECES OUT.

THE SEWING AND STITCHING
REQUIRES ANOTHER 4 HOURS,

FOLLOWED BY 3 1/2 HOURS
FOR THIS FINAL STEP

OF MOUNTING THE LEATHER
ON THE SUBSTRATE.

THE CORNERS DEMAND
SPECIAL ATTENTION

AND A SPECIAL TECHNIQUE.

THIS ENTIRE OPERATION

CALLS FOR PATIENCE, SKILL,
AND CONCENTRATION.

THE LEATHER MUST FOLLOW

THE CONTOURS OF THE SUBSTRATE
PERFECTLY.

NO CREASES OR BULGES ALLOWED.

Narrator: SEEN WITHOUT
ITS WHEELS OR ENGINE,

THE MORGAN 3 WHEELER LOOKS LIKE

THE COCKPIT OF
A WORLD WAR I FIGHTER PLANE,

AND THAT'S NO ACCIDENT.

COMING UP, WE'LL SEE
ALL THE CUSTOM COMPONENTS

BROUGHT TOGETHER TO FORM
A FINISHED CAR.

STARTING WITH THE CHASSIS,
A TECHNICIAN BEGINS INSTALLING

ALL OF
THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

THIS INCLUDES THE LEADS TO
THE COIL PACK AND SPARK PLUGS,

AS WELL AS THE WIRING LOOM,
FUSE BOX, AND MAIN FUSE.

MORGAN HAS ENGINEERED
THE 3 WHEELER

TO START IMMEDIATELY,

EVEN AFTER LONG STRETCHES
PARKED IN A GARAGE.

THE TECHNICIAN NOW INSTALLS
THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION.

THE ENGINE IS A V-TWIN X-WEDGE
FROM S&S,

A LEGENDARY MANUFACTURER
OF MOTORCYCLE ENGINES.

WITH A TOP SPEED
OF 115 MILES PER HOUR,

IT HAS A MAXIMUM TORQUE
OF 103 FOOT-POUNDS

AT 3,250 RPMs.

THE POWERFUL BATTERY WILL
HOLD ITS CHARGE FOR MONTHS.

LIKE A MOTORCYCLE, THE 3 WHEELER
HAS SOMETHING CALLED

REAR SWINGARM SUSPENSION.

THIS SYSTEM GRIPS THE AXLE
OF THE REAR WHEEL

AND PIVOTS UP AND DOWN

AT THE POINT WHERE IT ATTACHES
TO THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE.

ONCE THE SWINGARM AND WHEEL
ARE IN PLACE,

THE TECHNICIAN INSTALLS
THE REAR KEVLAR DRIVE BELT

ON THE ALUMINUM SPROCKET.

THIS SYSTEM ALSO CLOSELY
RESEMBLES A MOTORCYCLE.

ROTATING THE BACK WHEEL TURNS
THE BEVEL BOX AND PROP SHAFT.

NEXT, IT'S TIME FOR
THE PEDAL BOX ASSEMBLY --

THE ACCELERATOR, CLUTCH,
AND BRAKE.

ONCE THEY'RE IN, THE TECHNICIAN
CONNECTS THEIR HOSES

AND TESTS THEM TO MAKE SURE
THEY'RE MOVING CORRECTLY.

NOW THE LEATHER UPHOLSTERED
GEARBOX COVER

GOES OVER THE 5-SPEED
MAZDA SPORTS TRANSMISSION.

THE TECHNICIAN WORKS
THE STICK SHIFT

THROUGH ITS SLEEVE
AND ADDS THE KNOB.

THE NEXT UPHOLSTERED COMPONENT
COVERS THE PROP SHAFT.

THEN THE DOOR PANELS GO ON,

FOLLOWED BY THE LOWER AND UPPER
SEAT BACKING AND CUSHIONS.

THE DETAILED,
TIME-CONSUMING WORK

DONE IN THE LEATHER DEPARTMENT
IS FINALLY ON DISPLAY.

THE SEATING DESIGN IS SNUG
BUT COMFORTABLE.

THEN IT'S TIME TO PUT TOGETHER
THE DASHBOARD.

THE DISPLAYS AND SWITCHES HERE
ARE DIRECTLY INSPIRED

BY OLD-FASHIONED
AIRPLANE COCKPITS.

TO FASTEN THE BODY
TO THE STRUCTURE,

THEY WILL DRILL THROUGH
THE ALUMINUM PANELS

TO THE STEEL CHASSIS TUBING,

USING JUST TWO ATTACHMENT POINTS
IN THE FRONT,

TWO IN THE BACK,

AND FOUR ON EACH SIDE.

EACH SIDE OF THE 3 WHEELER

FEATURES
AN EXPOSED EXHAUST PIPE.

THE TECHNICIAN MOUNTS
THE OIL TANK IN ITS BRACKETS.

THEN HE INSTALLS THE FRONT WHEEL
ON ITS HUB ASSEMBLY.

THE WIRE SPOKES
AND SINGLE WHEEL NUT

MAY RESEMBLE THE STYLE OF
MORGAN'S ORIGINAL 3 WHEELERS,

BUT THEY FUNCTION AS DURABLE,

THOROUGHLY UP-TO-DATE
COMPONENTS.

NOW IT'S TIME
FOR THE STEEL ROLL HOOPS

WITH THEIR LEATHER HEADRESTS.

THE ROUNDED HOOD
WITH ITS SIGNATURE FRONT COWL

IS THE NEXT COMPONENT.

THIS IS THE LINER
FOR THE SMALL TRUNK AREA

JUST ABOVE THE FUEL TANK.

HERE
IN THE FINISHING DEPARTMENT,

A WORKER USES A ROTARY POLISHER
TO BUFF THE SURFACE OF THE CAR.

THE CAR IS PAINTED
THE FAMOUS RACING GREEN,

ONCE SEEN ON ALL BRITISH CARS

COMPETING IN
EUROPEAN SPORTING EVENTS.

GIVEN HOW MANY RACES
THE ORIGINAL 3 WHEELERS WON,

IT'S NO WONDER THIS COLOR
IS A POPULAR CHOICE.

WITH A MAXIMUM TORQUE
OF 103 FOOT-POUNDS

AT 3,250 RPMs,

THE MORGAN 3 WHEELER IS
A POWERFUL CAR FOR ITS SIZE,

BUT IT ONLY WEIGHS IN
AT 1,160 POUNDS,

A FACTOR THAT CONTRIBUTES TO
ITS IMPRESSIVE FUEL EFFICIENCY

OF 25 MILES PER GALLON.

IN OTHER WORDS,
DESPITE ITS VINTAGE APPEAL,

THIS IS A THOROUGHLY MODERN
SPORTS CAR

BUILT FOR THE 21st CENTURY.

BUT THEN AGAIN, MAYBE
HENRY MORGAN'S CLEVER IDEA

JUST NEVER GOT OLD.

FITTING A MOTORCYCLE ENGINE
AND A TRANSMISSION

ONTO A LIGHTWEIGHT CHASSIS
WITH THREE WHEELS

MIGHT BE ONE OF THE BEST WAYS
OF COMBINING FUEL EFFICIENCY

WITH THE CAR LOVER'S DREAM
OF FLYING ON THE ROAD.
