Those that buy three-wheeled Morgans tend to be an intrepid bunch. The spirit of adventure demonstrated by owners of the 2012 3-Wheeler was usefully embraced by Morgan when it came to the Super 3 replacement, the new car kitted out with all manner of features and equipment to prepare it for whatever journey it would be taken on.
The Malle Rally Special is the ultimate representation of what can be achieved with the Super 3. Described by Morgan ‘embodying the escapism of Super 3’, the new car has been built with luggage and adventure accessory manufacturer Malle London. Ostensibly a maker of bike bits, Malle has been using a Super 3 as a support car for its UK and European rallies over the past year; this car is a version of that available for the public to buy.
To that end, it comes with extra features tested out over all manner of road trips, including one 4,000-mile, 12-day epic. That includes Beeline navigation, lockable storage, interior bungee cords and the rear luggage rack. All broadly familiar from the regular Super 3, but the new derivative also gets the Morgan x Malle Driver’s Collection as standard fit, including a waterproof and windproof wax jacket, a matching knee guard that’s a ‘must have for Super 3 use in inclement weather’, step guards, and canvas panniers with loads of compartments - so wet clothes stay separate to dry ones. They’ve really thought about this, the mad bunch.
A Malle Rally Special will be offered in yellow, red or black, with a bespoke livery that incorporates a topographic map of Malle’s favourite mountain road in Britain. There’s also Union Flag branding (of course), white accents and Malle’s ‘Prepared To Get Lost’ tagline.
Morgan’s Chief Design Officer Jonathan Wells said of the new look: “From the outset of Super 3’s design process we had envisioned the vehicle embarking on incredible adventures all over the world. Through our collaboration with Malle London, we have been able to realise this vision and help equip owners to have their own adventures… Complete with every accessory an owner could need, and with functional and striking design at its core, we have created the ideal special series.”
As part of this Super 3 deal, buyers will get entry to a Malle Rally of their choice: the Great Malle Rally in the UK, the European Great Malle Mountain Rally or even the Great Malle Arctic Rally. Best hope that jacket is warm. Entry to the Malle Mile and Beach Race is included, plus clobber for a passenger. Or co-pilot, rather. The price is £54,995 plus taxes and VAT - which is a lot however you cut it, especially given a standard Super 3 OTR of £43,165. But then as special editions go, the Malle Rally Special is a pretty cool looking one. And a rally could be quite fun…
