Goodwood FOS and Morgan Trike

[Paul Drawmer]

So, all the papers are fawning over the revamped Morgan Trike.

How very frustrating, if only a Blackjack Zero had been there, it knocks the Morgan trike for 6 in every department.

Apart from it looking like an ugly fish...

apart from the obvious like

being made from glassfibre not aluminium
having 75bhp as opposed to 110bhp
having a 4 speed old beetle gearbox
having fwd as opposed to rwd
not looking anywhere near as nice
not being made by a recognised brand using new components

Well, I see you have put your money where your mouth is! Fabulous, I really do applaud you, the Morgan needs to succeed, and people should buy frivolous cars. I'm sure you'll get a load of fun out of it.

I reckon the FWD of the Blackjack trike is a definite advantage.
Looks are purely subjective, and we prefer different things.
And you're right it's basically a kit.

But...I would choose the Blackjack Zero first over the Morgan. If I ever get one, we'll arrange a swop for a day to compare!

I think i would take the Triking over a morgan at half the price. Although the Blackjack zero is very nice indeed, i think of the more modern styled ones, i'd take a Rayvolution.

i really do not get this trike thing at all-i like morgan cars and can appreciate engineering etc but not for me
it sems to have generated a lot of sales for morgans though which can only be a good thing
