Saw it at Geneva and FOS and thoroughly impressed. All the enthusiasm about Morgan's skill in conceiving the modern interpretation and developing it are a little generous though when you consider it's based on the Liberty Ace http://cycle-car.com/ which bought the license from Morgan some time ago. It took a small company in Seattle to develop it and see if it had a market, it did, so Morgan took the license back...

Still great news though.

Those are real beauties.

I'm not sure why but I'm finding the idea of a three wheeler increasing appealing.

Madder than a Goldfish with a Gatling.

I'm 6'4" and 15 stone, will I fit?
Sorry, but unless you're a freak with very short legs, no chance.

I'm 6'5" and the only way I got squeezed in was be depressing all the pedals at at the same time.

I bloody love this car, for me it was the star of the Festival of Speed this year.

Well done chaps!! clap
I tried one on at Geneva earlier this year. It gave a giggle to some of the on lookers. I didn't even get close.

Maybe when demand tails off a bit in a couple of years, they'll do a longer wheelbase version...

A couple of shots I took of the Morgan trikes at Goodwood Festival of Speed, one with the WWII fighter decals and the other with SuperDry branding

If you add up all the options on that Triking thing, to what one would consider to be a Morgan standard, it comes to about £20k, and you have to bolt it together yourself.

I'd rather pay £30k and have the real thing thanks...
