Video: Morgan Three-Wheeler Drifting And Burnout

This is more 'tally ho!' than 'drifting, yo'...

---

If this video doesn't make you laugh then, to be quite frank, we suspect that you have no soul. It's the new and rather wonderful Morgan Three-Wheeler spinning up its lonely rear tyre in what we think is the Morgan factory car park.

But this is no hip-hop star style showing off; the donuts are more Mrs Hopkins's cafe than Krispy Kreme, while the burn-out, with the driver's deadpan expression and hurried wave puts us more in mind of a hurricane pilot taking off for a sortie. Which is, of course, exactly how it should be...

If this video has whetted your appetite, you can catch the Morgan Three-Wheeler in the metal at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend.

I can see Grandads all over the country doing this on ASDA car parks.

Seriously though, what a lovely car that is. If I had enough spare change I'd buy one in no time.

Awesome! Bet that leaves a nice pair of 11's!!!







Oh wait.....

...although...a pair of 11s would require four rear wheels

After going to Le Mans this year in a Grinnall Scorpion (with leather helmets and goggles) which was a real blast, I can see myself with one of these.....now how to convince SWMBO.

Brilliant! Love the sound of that thing too

Utter rubbish. It's against English decency law to drive a Morgan three wheeler without a leather flying helmet. Come back and do it again Morgan when suitably attired - leather flying jacket optional during the summer months.

How utterly wizard old boy!

Does the co-pilot have to hold the front brakes on, while the pilot opens the throttle and prepares for take off?

[louiebaby]

That's definitely the car park you use for factory visits.

I like that they're having some fun with it. I just wish I could fit in one, after my attempt at Geneva this year, I'm not even close.

That's the car park of the newly expanded Morgan factory site - they took over the adjacent land that was part of the recently closed Civil Service Sport Club and opened a new visitors centre / burnout area.

I live in Malvern and was passed by one of these on a fast local A road - it looked like fun.

[HenryRoyce]

Jolly good show!

[Maldini35]

God I want one!

[Streetrod]

I'm 6ft 2in and powerfully built, would I fit?

[Fetchez la vache]

These are not just doughnuts, these are Morgan 3 wheeler doughnuts...

Fab.u.lous darling

[don logan]

very good

[Wacky Racer]

tbh I think that's idiotic behaviour....

Kind of thing you'd expect from a 18 year old Barryboy chav.

Sorry.

Like the car though......

[soad]

Looks mega fun!

[P9UNK]

The only car on the market for me that would really instil a sense of excitement, danger adventure, and the expectation that if you were stopped the Police would be Russian or German, absolutely love it

That`s why I think it`s so cool!

That video wasn`t made by the same people that did the 1M promo was it! :-)
