3-Wheeler Gulf revealed
Le Mans inspired special edition from Morgan banishes November gloom
Limited to just 100 units, the 3-Wheeler Gulf Edition is inspired by Morgan's Le Mans Prototype, which races in the iconic colours.
In addition to the sky blue and orange paintwork, the 3-Wheeler Gulf Edition features orange-walled tyres and some new badging inside and out. The interior is largely identical to the regular car, albeit with some orange stitching on the steering wheel.
Mechanically, the Gulf Edition is unchanged any other 3-Wheeler. This means its 1990cc V-twin produces 115hp and 100lb ft, all of course sent to that solitary rear wheel.
The Morgan 3-Wheeler Gulf Edition will be sold at £29,162.50 plus VAT; call it £35,000. With the standard car available from £25,000 plus VAT, a large premium is certainly being attached by Morgan to a colour scheme. However, its limited edition status may also be used to justify some of the additional cost. And let's face it, if the 3-Wheeler appeals as a concept, why wouldn't you want a Gulf Edition?
The MOG's color scheme, yes,
The SuperDry's color scheme, why not,
The Gulf's color scheme, where is the motorsport historical link between morgan and gulf???
Instead of playing with paintbushes, they should develop a MOG motorsport 3 wheelers why upgrade power, suspensions, FIA rollbar/cage so that three wheeler fanatics can push the car limits on track and eventually race the thing...
A Shelsley Walsh (or Prescott) hillclimb limited edition would be just perfect.

There are a few other treats in there too, the orange front cowling and colour-coded screws for the fuel filler (in orange to match the stripes). It's little details that make all the difference.

"1990cc V-twin produces 81hp and 100lb ft"
I don't know much about V-twins, and assume that its a very light engine for an extremely lightweight vehicle - but that's a large displacement for such a small power output...
Is there really no other more economical solution to product a similar output, or am I missing something about the V-Twin configuration...?

Would I pay an extra 4 grand for that paint job? No. I'd pay extra to have it in a normal colour!

Drag cars run huge power, but as a result they have to be rebuilt every mile they cover...this is just the opposite of that.
Just a thought.
