One of the best (if not the best) reviews of the Morgan I've watched: nice to see someone who understands the cars he's testing giving his review, not the same old string of cliches and complaints that its not modern or fast enough. Well done Chris for 'getting' what he's driving!
yes, everyone knows that these cars are made for fun experience and not for destroy the lap time... But reviews want obviously to talk about the lap time and that's a pity. But this one didn't the mistake
Some people are interested in the lap times because even though the cars are for FUN, they also want to get something that will let them NOT be lapped 5 times by EVERYONE on a track day, and it says something about how fast it is, and that is also about FUN.. It`s not a mistake, it`s a necessity, and it`s the consumers that continually ask for it if it`s left out ;)
This video explains exactly why I bought a caterham. Drove one and realised it was better than almost any other "sports" car I'd even driven. It's awesome and I love it.
Shrink1061 Yeah I have real problem explaining that to any of my friends who lust after exotics. They look at it and think it's so old fashioned. Their loss I guess.
This is what driving is about!! AWESOME!!! I wish that all reviewers had such enthusiasm for their job! You make anyone want to drive a car! Fast or slow....doesn't matter!! This is what all other car magazines and shows need to be like... I applaud you for this!!
Easily one of my most-favorite videos you've ever done Chris... Loved it, for SO many reasons that I can quickly and easily identify with. This is one of the main reasons why I travel over to the UK every year and embark upon a grand journey of the vast, varied, challenging and exciting UK road networks - Scotland included, of course.. ;) Thank you thank you thank you for making this video - hopefully it will properly open up the eyes and minds of driving enthusiasts... cheers.
The best film you've ever made for /Drive. Hands down. No need to wax eloquent about all the toys and gadgets (which can sound, at times, labored), just a simple fact: there is joy to be found driving vehicles that capture the essence of motoring. Thanks for letting us blokes who hadn't got a bean to their name live our dreams of motoring glory through you.
Good gracious me, that looks like fun that will have your face cramping in no time. Mine hurts just from watching. A smile is one expression that truly can get stuck on your face. Thank you Mr. Harris and thank you Production Gurus, some of those shots!...
I just enjoy this video so much. Thank chris to make so beautiful videos and bringing such extraordinary cars because often driving pleasure is confused whith speed, but these cars especially the morgan remind us that driving pleasure is just about,, well,, driving pleasure
Well done, Drive! Thank you, Chris Harris. No background music ruining the engine sound. Incredible hi-def footage, and slow motion capture. I have yet to find another automotive channel on TH-cam, or on TV.
I love these kinds of videos and these kinds of cars. I like to pretend I am driving a Morgan or a Caterham when I light up the rear wheels in my Jeep on a wet day. It may not be the most sophisticated driving machine, but it gets the job done in my opinion.
Chris is taking motoring journalism to another level with videos like this. We all love TG but this video makes any car enthusiast want to book a test drive right away.
Chris, your description and presentation are pure brilliance. I get a number of updates and I take a moment out of my day to view your latest offerings as soon as they arrive. Thank you.
Love the Brits adjectives and adverbs: absolutely brilliant, proper, binkingly, etc. And the way they are pronounced is, well, an absolute JOY! Great review, once again (or as this yank would say, pretty friggin' cool, man)
This video sums up why so many people love chris harris. He's so good at what he does. He's an amazing driver, he's so interesting, and he knows what he's talking about. I could live with more videos like this :P
Fantastic! I miss my Caterham 7, even though -- at 6'7"/202cm tall -- it made my Chiropractor a wealthy man. There are advantages to being diminutive and hirsute, my friend...
My favorite Chris Harris video [even more than the one with the E28 M5 or the Hammer Mercedes]. You sir, are a great car journalist. Thank you, Cheers!
Drove a Morgan Threewheeler this morning in the pouring rain. Even then, it's simply brilliant. Motoring / Driving unplugged. Loved it. Totally agreed with Chris here.
i think he got the 3 wheeler perfectly. its about show, experience, exposure (both fantastic and drastically terrible), and most importantly access to fun without ballistic speeds. chris, well done, this is why i clicked subscribe after your first video here.
Reminds me of my Frog-Eye Sprite I had in the early 70s. Now at 76 I ride a CanAm Spyder... also great fun especially in Germany where I can cruise at 150kmh.
Having been a passenger in a couple of Caterhams, I could practically smell the hot oil and feel my legs getting warm when this one appeared on screen! The Morgan's like a mechanical puppy. Love these two cars.
Chris Harris is the man! Great job with sound on this one - I can't imagine it is easy to capture audio in one of those things. You guys are getting better and better. Keep it up!
I bought a 230hp high-lift cam Zetec Caterham 7 last winter on a whim. Good whim it was, as the car is a total hoot to drive. Same power-weight ratio as a Viper (though admittedly not nearly as fast as my Gen 4 Viper ;) But still crazy fast and crazy fun. Kids literally scream in joy when you drive by in a car as ridiculous as a Lotus 7. And a total chic magnet! Driving an ordinary, exotic super car (Ferrari, or other) suggests to the world that you may need to (because of your other shortcomings)... but only gents completely secure in their manhood drive a car as silly as a Lotus 7. Just because it is stupid fun! And it's only a data-driven observation that I'm sharing that women love this car for some reason!...I'm sure that the girls, of course, also just recognize the pure joy in it. Everyone loves a 7 - the car sounds great, is stupid fast, and has no pretense.
Another phenomenal video guys, keep up the fantastic work. Absolutely love getting home and seeing a new DRIVE video. Chris, you're bloody brilliant. Keep it up. And oh, when he says about the sensation of controlling a machine. EXACTLY. That is what its all about. It's man controlling the beast. It's ancient.
Chris, you are spot on, and the fact that you regularly drive the best range of cars available on the market makes your review of the 3 Wheeler and the Seven even more thoughtful and interesting.
I still love clarkson, but Chris Harris is the best pure car journalist doing video reviews today. I would watch an hour long show of his stuff happily! Matt Farah is pretty great too!
I agree, he does a good review and gets it right with the help. I've watched many reviews and he'd be a trusted source for the more sporty cars. Thanks for mentioning my teeth, you know that was appreciated, life would be very boring if we were all perfect.
This is a very enjoyable report to watch, not only because of how fun the cars are but because of the quality of the report. If any of the guys on Top Gear BBC ever retire, I hope they will consider Chris Harris as a replacement.
Chris, you are, by far, THE best car reviewer on the internet or anywhere right now! Love these vids, and I love the fact that you love driving, not just driving stupidly fast. Although you are one excellent driver at hoon speeds!
Suercars are beautiful to look at, but they have never really intrigued me. Lightweight sports cars is what driving is ALL about!!! Quick, nimble, full of driver involvement. Nothing beats it. Thanks CH!
Amazing review Chris! Being a total car nut, I always try to justify my love for Caterhams and such bare-bones sports cars but never quite succeed. You have pointed out exactly what makes these cars so appealing to me:they manage to provide an extremely pure driving exprience! No lcd screens or boost gauges or gps systems to distract you from the experience...I shall own one one day!
AMAZING video chris (made my heart flutter even though i'm a 16 year old watching this video on a shity laptop in bed convalescing from an operated knee) Now if you think that Top Gear is a car show that is for us who love cars etc., you are getting it wrong. If you want to make a tv program it has to be for a wider audience to make money("car show" - Top Gear), ("car film" - fast and furious) This is where car shows belong; on the internet where we car nuts can communicate with each other.
Brilliant review and a lovely comparison between 2 iconic vehicles. Interesting to see him say drive the morgan slow but the caterham quick and have the same thrill. Conclusion you get to have a blast in a morgan a d keep your license. 😁 Well done Chris Harris 👍
I thought it was amazing the way you have managed to put your hat on and off in the Morgan almost instantly Chris, then you excelled yours self and removed the door and the mirror and put it that back on in similar magical fashion :D Amazing :D
I was trying to stop wanting a Caterham Seven... I was almost being reasonable... All gone now... I want want one again ASAP !! Badly ! Thanks Chris Harris.
The British may not have invented the 2 seat convertible but they pretty much perfected it. It's so odd how so many countries make such vastly different cars suited to their country. Here in the states we make high powered straight line machines or appliances, Japan makes high tech economical cars, Germans make luxury high speed touring cars, Brits make quick great handling roadsters. I find it unfair how people say cars from other countries (especially here) don't do this or that. We all know American cars don't handle very well, because we are a country obsessed with drag racing. You take a mustang and a jag and put them on a flat road and the mustang will walk away. Put them on a twisty road and the Jag will leave the mustang behind.
***** no, the engines in those cars are japanese, but the british have tuned the holy piss out of them. lotus uses the toyota 2zz and 2gr engines in their cars. the lancer evo and impreza both had their suspension designed by prodrive in the uk, and the gtr by mclaren i think. im not totally sure on that but i think i read that somewhere in a car magazine or heard it on a car show. but im not sure. the brits most definitely have a stranglehold on the luxury market with Rolls, Jag, Bentley before VW bought them, and Aston. The Germans do luxury very very well, but they can't compare to the English burled walnut and corinthian leather, with the lamb's wool mats
Yea they do. You can nitpick who owns who nowadays but cars made in Britain for Brits are perfect for twisty narrow little roads. They make what is fun, comfortable & well suited the the roads it's going to be on most. In America we make big cars suited for wide roads & long highway road trips. A Mustang is a real hassle to drive on a narrow winding road but it will go in a straight line & it's quite comfortable to hop in & drive 500 miles on the freeway. The little British car will eat up that little winding road but boy are little British cars uncomfortable on a long road trip. We make what suits us. You can't bash a little Lotus or other British car for being uncomfy on a road trip. They don't use them for that. You can't bash the Mustang for looking like a pregnant cow trying to go down a flight of stairs when it's on a narrow twisty road. We don't use then for that.
+twinscroll turbo James Martin talks about his Lotus Evora 400 and why Lotus decided to go for the Camry Engine. Reliability, ease of maintenance, reasonable parts prices and high cost of developing their own engines, coupled with the fact that using a Toyota engine gave them more money to spend on the chassis and interior. Matt Farrahs' review of the Evora 400 seems to justify their decision.
One of the best (if not the best) reviews of the Morgan I've watched: nice to see someone who understands the cars he's testing giving his review, not the same old string of cliches and complaints that its not modern or fast enough. Well done Chris for 'getting' what he's driving!

This is one of my most favorite Chris Harris segments. I agree 100% with everything he said, and I'd love to own both of these cars one day.
Me too
"motoring for the sake of motoring", beautifully said.
for the SHake of motoring)
This video explains exactly why I bought a caterham. Drove one and realised it was better than almost any other "sports" car I'd even driven. It's awesome and I love it.
Shrink1061 Yeah I have real problem explaining that to any of my friends who lust after exotics. They look at it and think it's so old fashioned. Their loss I guess.
Me too!
Me too, haha!
Thanks to Chris I knew the M3W 6 years ago...
Now I own one !!!
- Essence of driving -
Merci CHRIS HARRIS !!!
I definitely need to own a Caterham one day. Great episode...well done!
Can I ask you, do you own one now? :D
7 years later
the best part of Chris Harris videos is that when the engine sound is ON, there is no stupid music, big thanks to the editors for this.
That's we we love your videos: no matter the price or the year it was released, just cars we can all enjoy
Lovely cars!
Lovely sound
Lovely host!
Lovely roads!
Lovely scenary!
Lovely exra bit of video!
Lovely beard!
"In Morgan 34mph feels more alive than 120mph in a Porsche. Brilliant fun!" - Chris Harris always hits the nail on the very head :)
That is great Chris 15+ minutes of pure automotive joy ... I can watch car vids with Harris for hours...
Of all the cars in the world, I want a caterham the most
I like it for its simplicity but also The Veyron for its complexity ... I know which I am more like to own , believe me
@@georgeelmerdenbrough6906 The high power original Caterham are really pricey and import duties have no mercy. However, I will have one someday.
I've watched this film too many times now, I need a Caterham in my life.
I’ve watched almost every Caterham video and it’s almost like I’ve owned one already. I know it’s the right car.
This is what driving is about!! AWESOME!!! I wish that all reviewers had such enthusiasm for their job! You make anyone want to drive a car! Fast or slow....doesn't matter!! This is what all other car magazines and shows need to be like... I applaud you for this!!
Easily one of my most-favorite videos you've ever done Chris... Loved it, for SO many reasons that I can quickly and easily identify with.

Chris Harris you are an amazing man to drive the Morgans so brilliantly. You are also brilliant driving any other sports car.
The best film you've ever made for /Drive. Hands down. No need to wax eloquent about all the toys and gadgets (which can sound, at times, labored), just a simple fact: there is joy to be found driving vehicles that capture the essence of motoring. Thanks for letting us blokes who hadn't got a bean to their name live our dreams of motoring glory through you.
Good gracious me, that looks like fun that will have your face cramping in no time. Mine hurts just from watching. A smile is one expression that truly can get stuck on your face. Thank you Mr. Harris and thank you Production Gurus, some of those shots!...
Today Morgan announced the end of the 3 wheeler production. I feel lucky to own one. This review played a part in my purchase decision.
Give this man anything on four wheels and a camera and he can entertain the masses for years.
I just enjoy this video so much. Thank chris to make so beautiful videos and bringing such extraordinary cars because often driving pleasure is confused whith speed, but these cars especially the morgan remind us that driving pleasure is just about,, well,, driving pleasure
"Maybe I should own one?" "looks off into the bleak distance." lolol this car looks like a heartbreaker...love this video well done!
Well done, Drive! Thank you, Chris Harris. No background music ruining the engine sound. Incredible hi-def footage, and slow motion capture. I have yet to find another automotive channel on TH-cam, or on TV.
I love these kinds of videos and these kinds of cars. I like to pretend I am driving a Morgan or a Caterham when I light up the rear wheels in my Jeep on a wet day. It may not be the most sophisticated driving machine, but it gets the job done in my opinion.

Chris, you are best thing going in the automotive journalism world. FANTASTIC!
Maybe I should own one too! Fantastic video again, Chris. To think this content is free is amazing.
Chris, your description and presentation are pure brilliance. I get a number of updates and I take a moment out of my day to view your latest offerings as soon as they arrive.
Thank you.
This gave me chills. Chris took it to another level.
Harris captures the escence of car reviews, pure enthusiasm.
The three wheeler is not my cup of tea but the video was stellar.
You Brits , you are the masters of enginnering .And i am a DS Citroen lover.Sums it all.
Love the Brits adjectives and adverbs: absolutely brilliant, proper, binkingly, etc. And the way they are pronounced is, well, an absolute JOY! Great review, once again (or as this yank would say, pretty friggin' cool, man)
This video sums up why so many people love chris harris. He's so good at what he does. He's an amazing driver, he's so interesting, and he knows what he's talking about. I could live with more videos like this :P
Had to re visit this clip, this is what your exceptional at Mr Harris.
Three wonderful wheels in a magnificent landscape. What else!
Very well-written piece. I'll surely be watching this one again.
Fantastic! I miss my Caterham 7, even though -- at 6'7"/202cm tall -- it made my Chiropractor a wealthy man. There are advantages to being diminutive and hirsute, my friend...
Big thanks to Chris Harris! Such a pleasure to share your enthusiasm, knowledge, insight and FUN.
Keep 'em coming, please!
I like how you look for the good in cars rather than getting hung up on the bad; thumbs up!
one of his best videos ever... and thats a HUGE statement! gotta love chris and his passion for cars with soul
My favorite Chris Harris video [even more than the one with the E28 M5 or the Hammer Mercedes]. You sir, are a great car journalist. Thank you, Cheers!
I love reviews by Chris Harris, best, most enthusiastic car reviewer on TH-cam.
Drove a Morgan Threewheeler this morning in the pouring rain. Even then, it's simply brilliant. Motoring / Driving unplugged. Loved it. Totally agreed with Chris here.
With all that said the Morgan has a charm all its own 💖🇬🇧👍🏻✨🌹 cheers mate🍸
What an great review. Mr. Harris you're just brilliant! I think i'm gonna watch this couple times in a row. So good!
I really like this guy's delivery. He really knows how to wax lyrical off the cuff.
i think he got the 3 wheeler perfectly. its about show, experience, exposure (both fantastic and drastically terrible), and most importantly access to fun without ballistic speeds.
chris, well done, this is why i clicked subscribe after your first video here.
I just love that thought of doing what Chris said, rap out warm & cover 150 miles
Best car reviews in the world. I love chris harris
Fantastic cars and a fantastic presenter. Well done.
thanks chris for putting so much passion in your reviews, I can feel the driving experience!
Reminds me of my Frog-Eye Sprite I had in the early 70s. Now at 76 I ride a CanAm Spyder... also great fun especially in Germany where I can cruise at 150kmh.
you hit it spot on, I graduate college in 2years and this is definitely a toy I want to pick up shortly after.
Having been a passenger in a couple of Caterhams, I could practically smell the hot oil and feel my legs getting warm when this one appeared on screen! The Morgan's like a mechanical puppy. Love these two cars.
Awesome video, how does this not have more views and likes after 10 years is unbelievable
Brilliant Chris, brilliant! You are a prophet for all drivers!
Absolutely fantastic! Proper driving right there.
Chris Harris is the man! Great job with sound on this one - I can't imagine it is easy to capture audio in one of those things. You guys are getting better and better. Keep it up!

Amen. Owned a Birkin 7 for all the same reasons, brilliant car made even better with modern diffs and engines.
Another phenomenal video guys, keep up the fantastic work. Absolutely love getting home and seeing a new DRIVE video. Chris, you're bloody brilliant.
Keep it up. And oh, when he says about the sensation of controlling a machine. EXACTLY. That is what its all about. It's man controlling the beast. It's ancient.
Chris, you are spot on, and the fact that you regularly drive the best range of cars available on the market makes your review of the 3 Wheeler and the Seven even more thoughtful and interesting.
Hey Chris. Every production I've seen you in has been gold. Thanks for everything.
I still love clarkson, but Chris Harris is the best pure car journalist doing video reviews today. I would watch an hour long show of his stuff happily! Matt Farah is pretty great too!
Loved that. Want that Caterham, in those colours, on my drive - NOW!
I agree, he does a good review and gets it right with the help. I've watched many reviews and he'd be a trusted source for the more sporty cars.
Thanks for mentioning my teeth, you know that was appreciated, life would be very boring if we were all perfect.
Fantastic video, these cars are just brilliant to watch and are potentially realistically attainable for mere mortals
I'm a huge UK TopGear fan but this guy is genuinely brilliant and the other other car show I can watch!
The morgan always reminds me of the type of car Mr. Toad from the Wind in the Willows would drive
This video got me started on making my own 3 wheeler.
The face at 11:54 sum up the video perfectly. That wry smile shows the feeling of achievement.
A simply wonderful review of a couple of fantastic vehicles. Quite inspiring - makes me want to buy one of them (well, both really).
Lovely views and looks like a fun car to drive!
Brilliant as always, I hope DRIVE can keep you a little longer!
This is a very enjoyable report to watch, not only because of how fun the cars are but because of the quality of the report. If any of the guys on Top Gear BBC ever retire, I hope they will consider Chris Harris as a replacement.
11:53
That smiles says it all.
thought the exact same thing - you beat me to it by 7 years lol
This video had me smiling throughout. Well done Chris.
You made me cry ! Realy. I want more. (Incredible road too).
bravo chris. one of your best videos to date.
Chris, you are, by far, THE best car reviewer on the internet or anywhere right now! Love these vids, and I love the fact that you love driving, not just driving stupidly fast. Although you are one excellent driver at hoon speeds!
Suercars are beautiful to look at, but they have never really intrigued me. Lightweight sports cars is what driving is ALL about!!! Quick, nimble, full of driver involvement. Nothing beats it. Thanks CH!
I would be so happy to own either of these. Great video.
Amazing review Chris! Being a total car nut, I always try to justify my love for Caterhams and such bare-bones sports cars but never quite succeed. You have pointed out exactly what makes these cars so appealing to me:they manage to provide an extremely pure driving exprience! No lcd screens or boost gauges or gps systems to distract you from the experience...I shall own one one day!
I'm heading to the UK for 3 months this fall, these roads are calling my name.... :)
AMAZING video chris (made my heart flutter even though i'm a 16 year old watching this video on a shity laptop in bed convalescing from an operated knee)
Now if you think that Top Gear is a car show that is for us who love cars etc., you are getting it wrong.
If you want to make a tv program it has to be for a wider audience to make money("car show" - Top Gear), ("car film" - fast and furious)
This is where car shows belong; on the internet where we car nuts can communicate with each other.
chris!! your the best!! you just made me forced to bye my self a 7! i got to have one when i'm older..
"It's about the sensations of controlling a machine, not the speed with which you cover ground."
Exactly! Sportscar makers, take notice!
Fabulous film Chris. Totally sums up why I love my Caterham!
gotta love caterhams, but also realy like the morgan realy something different but very cool
Chirs, the best motoring journalist out there!
Congrats
Brilliant review and a lovely comparison between 2 iconic vehicles. Interesting to see him say drive the morgan slow but the caterham quick and have the same thrill. Conclusion you get to have a blast in a morgan a d keep your license. 😁
Well done Chris Harris 👍
I think Chris should try go it alone..for some reason I could listen to him talk about cars all day frickin long...You the man Chris
I want a Caterham so bad now !
Fantastic video, and I love that Ford engine sound
Love these videos. Absolutely excellent. Keep them coming.
both great cars! and building a kit car for yourself would be amazing. a real keeper. thanks Chris and /DRIVE
I love the way Harris moves his hand about the wheel when he is oversteering. So delicate, and in control. Lovely - 5:58
Great video. It is good to get back to motoring roots.
I thought it was amazing the way you have managed to put your hat on and off in the Morgan almost instantly Chris, then you excelled yours self and removed the door and the mirror and put it that back on in similar magical fashion :D Amazing :D
I was trying to stop wanting a Caterham Seven... I was almost being reasonable...
All gone now... I want want one again ASAP !! Badly ! Thanks Chris Harris.
Good review Chris, I ordered one for next spring 2016 . I wanted something different and basic and fun, this car has all three .
The British may not have invented the 2 seat convertible but they pretty much perfected it. It's so odd how so many countries make such vastly different cars suited to their country. Here in the states we make high powered straight line machines or appliances, Japan makes high tech economical cars, Germans make luxury high speed touring cars, Brits make quick great handling roadsters.

no, the engines in those cars are japanese, but the british have tuned the holy piss out of them. lotus uses the toyota 2zz and 2gr engines in their cars. the lancer evo and impreza both had their suspension designed by prodrive in the uk, and the gtr by mclaren i think. im not totally sure on that but i think i read that somewhere in a car magazine or heard it on a car show. but im not sure. the brits most definitely have a stranglehold on the luxury market with Rolls, Jag, Bentley before VW bought them, and Aston.
