Morgan 3 Wheeler

Born in the workshops on Pickersleigh Road in Malvern, England, the Morgan 3-Wheeler traces its roots back to the early days of the automobile. As early as 1909, H.F.S. Morgan designed a motorized tricycle that was as stripped-down as it was efficient, immediately winning over drivers in search of pure thrills.

Legend has it that Albert Ball, a British flying ace decorated with the Victoria Cross during World War I, once remarked that driving his Morgan Three-Wheeler was “the closest thing to flying without leaving the ground.” After a hiatus of nearly sixty years, Morgan revived this legendary model in 2011 with disarming fidelity to the original.

Each model is the result of a forty-hour process: the aluminum panels are hand-formed and riveted onto a steam-bent ash frame, giving the body its distinctive aeronautical silhouette. At the heart of this 525-kg machine sits a 2.0-liter S&S V-twin engine whose chrome exhaust pipes emerge directly from the cylinders, propelling the tricycle to a top speed of 185 km/h with a 0-100 km/h time of 6 seconds.
