The Morgan is back

[CarlS]

It's a genuine Morgan three-wheeler - not a replica! I have seen a few of the originals; but never driven one. I think this would be a neat toy. I would surely like to drive one of these.

That's absolutely AWESOME!!

I've seen quite a few of the originals mostly at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix held by the Vintage Racing Association. Other were at classic British car shows.

Unfortunately, I'll bet they'll never import those to the USA.

 

[CarlS]

No, I am sure they won't. But I would like to have one. I think they are really cool.

The California dealer was/is taking deposits on them. Not sure if it was because they are getting them or it was just wishful thinking.

Hmm, maybe they will be imported to the US. It looks like the price will be in the $30 K USD range.

 

[The Seeker]

With a bit more research, I do think they'll import them since it says they are street legal for the the UK and US markets.

 

[CarlS]

I can tell you that I would rather have one of those than one of the fancy trikes.

 

[CarlS]

Special graphics packs will also be available to accentuate the classic aircraft theme, including RAF or USAF roundels, oval racing numbers and stripes, a fearsome shark nose, chequered winner's bonnet, official national flags and the Morgan wings.

Looks like they will be imported.

That is awesome. I agree with you Carl. I would much rather have one of them than a trike.

[CarlS]

And the cost is not much more than a fancy trike.

I think I would like one in the paint scheme of the F4U Corsairs used by the Navy & USMC during WWII & Korea.

I would like one of any color!

I think the Morgan is really cool. I would like to have one. They are a little too expensive.

Carl can buy you one for your Birthday...right Carl???


By the way, they will be classified as "motorcycles" in the USA so they won't have to meet the same standards as an automobile does.

That then makes me wonder if you'd be required to wear a helmet in States that require helmets?

Man I have never seen these much less heard of them. These machines are SWEET!! I will take 3 of them please

That sounds like a lovely idea, for sure! I like it. But at over $30,000 for one, I'm not going to hold my breath!

YOU are in big trouble!!!

I really like the fact that they will be classed as motorcycles. If they were classified as automobiles, they could not be imported without the 5mph bumpers, airbags, and meeting automobile emission and noise standards.

Ron, they are sweet. While I have never driven or ridden in one, I have seen them. When I was a kid there were a couple of them in the Winter Park/Orlando area. These were obviously the originals.
