Few modern vehicles deliver the sense of occasion, mechanical connection, and pure entertainment of the Morgan 3 Wheeler. With styling inspired by pre-war cyclecars, early aviation, and vintage racing machines, the 3 Wheeler combines unmistakable British character with a driving experience unlike virtually anything else on the road.
This exceptional 2018 example has traveled just 385 miles from new, making it a particularly compelling opportunity for the enthusiast or collector seeking a remarkably low-mileage Morgan 3 Wheeler.
At the heart of the car is its exposed 2.0-liter S&S V-Twin engine, prominently positioned between the front wheels and producing approximately 83 horsepower. Power is delivered to the single rear wheel through a five-speed manual transmission, giving the lightweight Morgan an engaging and wonderfully mechanical personality. With a dry weight of approximately 1,159 pounds, performance is far more spirited than the horsepower figure might suggest.
The experience begins before the car even moves. Climb into the intimate two-seat cockpit, engage the aircraft-inspired starter, and the large-displacement V-Twin comes to life immediately in front of you. From there, the combination of direct steering, open cockpit, manual gearbox, exposed front wheels, side-exit exhaust and minimal separation from the road turns even an ordinary drive into an event.
The design is equally distinctive. Morgan drew inspiration from its historic three-wheelers while incorporating details reminiscent of early military aircraft and period competition cars. The long aluminum-bodied fuselage, exposed engine, narrow front wheels and tapered tail give the car a silhouette that looks equally appropriate on a country road, at a concours gathering, or parked alongside far more expensive collector automobiles.
With only 385 miles, this example remains remarkably close to the experience Morgan intended when new. Its extremely limited use, highly original presentation and wonderfully unconventional engineering distinguish it from more commonly encountered modern sports cars.
The Morgan 3 Wheeler occupies a fascinating place in the collector market: modern enough to be usable yet sufficiently analog, unusual and charismatic to feel like something from another era. Morgan ultimately ended production of this generation of the 3 Wheeler, further ensuring its place as one of the company’s most memorable modern creations.
For the collector who already owns the conventional sports cars, this Morgan offers something entirely different — a machine that emphasizes experience over outright speed and personality over practicality.
