Morgans at Le Mans (the real stuff, not rebadged OAK/Pesca)

[vincegail]

Just watched this excellent clip of Fifth Gear on the Morgan 3-Wheeler:

This must be, even at the price it sells for, one of the most fun per pound cars out there.
Any PH-ers planning on making the trip down to La Sarthe in one of these?
I hope to see a lot of them!

I want one imagine the trip down the D338 or whatever the road is called now, on a nice sunny day!!!

there are not many of them on the road, only seen one and there is a major morgan dealer not far from me

[vincegail]

In the clip they were just manufacturing nr. 227. Don't know when it was recorded, but 230 sold and delivered seems to be a reasonable guess.

Not a 3 wheeler but just about a proper Morgan from a few years back.

And then imagine the same journey in the pouring rain!

This episode was on discovery earlier so watched it again. Really does look great fun

I see the Morgan factory are hiring out the 3 wheeler for the summer period. I might have to take a weekend off work

And it not the warmest or driest of weekends.

Going to Le Mans in my Morgan 4/4, staying at Bleu Sud, but 4/4 means 4 wheels 4 cylinders

[vincegail]

Morgans in all forms are marvellous in my book, but I have even a softer spot for the 3-Wheeler than for the 4/4 or +8, Aeromax (ie. all the 4-wheel cars). But still, love your car!

No 3-wheelers present? If they can stand the torrential rains at the Classic last year, surely a few can make it to Le Mans this June?

The Morgan club in France is very strong, they always seem to have plenty of interesting cars at the CBW including a couple of french reg 3 wheelers
