In this thrilling episode of Jay Leno's Garage, we delve into the fascinating world of the Morgan three-wheeler, a quirky creation born out of British law loopholes. With its unique classification as a cycle car to evade automobile tax, the Morgan stands out as a true rebel on the road. Jonathan Wells, the chief design officer, takes us on a journey through the rich history of the Morgan company, dating back to 1903, showcasing the unmatched craftsmanship that defines these iconic vehicles.
Jay Leno himself shares anecdotes about his own Morgan, reminiscing about the distinctive features like the matchless vwin engine and the optional reverse gear that added a touch of excitement to his driving experiences. The transition to a Ford engine in the latest model marks a significant shift, bringing in 120 brake horsepower and a whole new level of driving dynamics. The team's strategic placement of the engine behind the front wheels not only enhances performance but also adds a visual charm, staying true to the essence of the Morgan brand.
With a wider body, custom-designed tires, and a vintage tread pattern, the new Morgan three-wheeler blends classic elements with modern innovations, creating a vehicle that demands attention on the road. The introduction of paint clips for customization and accessory attachment adds a touch of versatility to this iconic ride, allowing enthusiasts to personalize their Morgan experience. From its rebellious origins to its cutting-edge design, the Morgan three-wheeler continues to captivate hearts and minds, embodying the spirit of automotive craftsmanship and innovation.
