I seen them there today, absolutely fantastic! Detailing was very impressive, a lovely little car, and can imagine a dream to go for a blast on a Sunday morning.

going to the factory on sat , hopefully i will ge a drive in one !

[joncon]

spent saturday at the factory , drove the three wheeler.....
:-)
how much fun can you have going at the legal speed limit !!
what an awsome machine, so much fun.
being 6ft tall and size 11 shoe meant i fitted perfectly.
plenty of room in the footwell , a little snug fitting in the seat, but fire her up and wow !
she's slow turning over, those big cylinders catch and then a symphony of noise and vibration.
short throw box is awesome, steering direct and plenty of feel at low speed, never really had chance to open her up.
can't wait for another go !!

Does anyone know if the owner of the green one, "1560" is a PHer?

I think the M3W could be the car I will finally sell my corvette for

From bbc.co.uk/news:

Car maker Morgan announces 'record-breaking' orders

Worcestershire car maker Morgan has said a "record-breaking" start to 2012 will also lead to new jobs in the area.

The Malvern-based company has received 850 pre-orders for its new three-wheeled model, many from new markets.

The low-volume manufacturer has appointed new dealers in China and India and said it was looking to expand into other countries.

Production of Morgan's three-wheeler is expected to rise from 10 to 15 cars a week from March.

The new model was inspired by a classic three-wheel car manufactured by the company from 1909 to 1953, which won the French Grand Prix in 1913.

Morgan said an increase in production and sales would also lead to new jobs.

Thanks. I suspect he is busy - I think he is taking delivery of his M3W today, from what I saw on talkmorgan (which seems to be down today, now that I have finally been approved and can post there)

Do you need him? I can text him if necessary?

Thanks, just have some questions about his M3W and registering it in Belgium since I live here too. Nothing urgent.

hi Vspec,
that funny bloke from Surrey PM'd me to get on here

if you want a M3W before 2013: better have a good chat with the brussels dealer
he sold 30already and he can't promisse delivery-dates for more than 10 cars at the moment
MMC (factory) sold 850 of them!!!!!
order now and you won't drive it before 2014

you should try to jump on a cancellation or hope someone can't pay due to the crisis (how I got my Aeromax)

mine is delivered in Bxl late next week or a few days later
papers won't be here before end of january, but then things should go fast

as it is a motorcycle, normal insurance companies don't do full-omnium insurance,
I found a company that does (got friends who drive my cars when I havn't got the time
to bring them somewhere or on roadtrips so I absolutely needed it)

hope to be driving (depending on the weather) around valentines day

really nice,
if I did that with the flag of my region....I'ld found it burned down

[joncon]

looking good !

Thanks for the info 1560. Bad news (for me) on the waiting list but I guess its good news for residual values.

Re not being registered as a car; do I need a bike license in that case?

Might have to pay the dealer a visit. He's in Molenbeek, right? Not an area I usually venture to much.

I saw someone said there are already 7 in Belgium, do you know of any planned meetings that I could gatecrash?

One more question: is the Euro pricelist fixed, or do they change it as FX evolves? Is it possible to pay directly to the factory in sterling?

Vspec:
road registered as a motor cycle (probably)
driving licence = auto

only 1 threewheel delivered in .BE: dealers car

yes www.morgan-belgium.com is in Molenbeek,
same street as Delhaize headquarters
safe metro connection during the day
I often go through the less nice neighbourhood (both on my bicycle or my cars)

you can buy from factory but dealer is less happy when you go afterwards to his place for warranty or maintenance (wouldn't you???)

baseprice is around 39K€

7=n° of aeromaxes
st-truiden, 3 antwerp, 1 kempen, 1 walifornia and mine bxl-south
