Overview

The Morgan 3 Wheeler is one of the most gloriously uncomplicated things you can put on a British road, an exposed V-twin, three wheels and a cockpit that borrows its mood from a piston-engined aircraft. Morgan built it as a rebellion against sanitised modern motoring, and it delivers exactly that: no frills, all thrills, and a grin every single time you thumb the starter.

This 2012 example wears its factory Willow Green beautifully, a colour that suits the car's playful character and sets it apart from the usual dark greens and blacks. The 2.0-litre S&S V-twin sits proudly out front, feeding a five-speed manual and driving the single rear wheel, and with just 525kg to shift there's plenty of performance to enjoy.

With around 10,000 miles from new, it has covered the gentle, sunny-day distances these cars are made for, and it shows in the presentation. The wire wheels, chrome exhausts and tan leather cockpit have all aged gracefully, and it looks every inch the event a 3 Wheeler should be.

It has also been looked after by Morgan specialists throughout its life, so you can climb straight in and start enjoying it. In short, this is a characterful, low-mileage 3 Wheeler in a standout colour, ready to reward its next owner from the very first drive.
