I once drove a new one, a 2013 and they're just phenomenale. The sound, tha acceleration, the unwanted little drifts around the corners. Could do it every day for the rest of my life
Somehow, a Morgan vee-twin racing a decent course seems the essence of motor-sport. You can keep the red Italian stuff, and even the other Brit gear, the Moggie does it for me. The smell of Castrol R and burnt methanol and the sight of such a lovely thing drifting round the corners is “it”. Thank you for a great video. Les
I've seen these in person... As for several years, I lived two doors from Morgan West, in Santa Monica, Calif... I believe I may have seen, a darn good representation of nearly every era and model of Morgans...
I used to rappel out of helicopters to neutralize explosive devices and was involved in one too many accidents but I love the old airplanes. I fell in love with a certain one though. It is a 1928 Morgan RIP with a GN rear making it a special. It has aircraft fabric and plasticizer dope sprayed over it. I am in the states and that is the only one in existence that I am aware of so I am building one from scratch using an opposed twin experimental aircraft motor to which I cast and machined an adapter to an MGB 4 speed transmission giving it a reverse gear and then through a driveshaft to an MGB rear differential with juice brakes and those beautiful wire wheels. I am using as close to the color of the original red as I can find for the fabric. It will have a wooden and metal frame and be almost an exact replica . The differences will be mainly safety such as A-arm front suspension and a pumped and pressurized fuel cell. It will look like it just needs a prop and wings and it could lift off. I will be starting to video the build as soon as my equipment comes in.
@@JonasRosenven That video is a classic! 😄 The happiest pair of bald men ever recorded! Shame Matt went away from doing videos like these. He only does modern cars now, and stupid TV-like shows.
I'd love to do a crazy project with a three wheeler. Like adding either a diffuser on both sides of the rear wheel, and/or massive rear splitter for downforce. Active rear splitters, to activate downforce on the inside when cornering. It would probably have a similar feel, like driving a side car. The goal would be to achieve as much grip on the rear, as a good 4 wheel sports car. Still, would also love to drive one, that's completely, intact original.
Loved every part of this! Then sound of their engines, they way they handle. Looks like so much fun. What I don't understand is: They don't have headlights. Maybe you don't need them for this up hill run, and because it is held during the day. Other ones I have seen, old ones like these, almost always have headlights and tiny rear marker lights. I see them and imagine if they had wings,...like an old bi-plane, I could imagine them taking to the air. Marvelous,....keep 'em running, gentlemen!
0:42 The first red car is the Alfa Romeo carazzata tz2. The carazzata is the transmission, and tz stands for tubular zagato, the one who made this aerodynamic body using plane aero physics.
Those things could really go by the looks of things. Especially with the right driver. I'm pretty sure I watched a clip here on TH-cam of Sue Darbyshire racing that Morgan...

What a glorious sound they make

Fantastic 3-Wheelers,the true essence of Morgan

I would really love to take a drive in one of those.
As i hear , the Morgan 3-Wheeler Is scary af to ride
@@elyasblondlet5862 makes me wanna drive it even more
@@adrianwelgemoed9562 if i Can ride a Morgan 3-wheler i' would do it too
These things are always amazing. Really has that feel of being sat in a vintage plane when in one.

Man, crashing and/or rolling in these things must be terrifying! Still amazing to see them raced!
This video made my day (which didn't start great). Thanks! Love three-wheeled Moggies!

Love the prewar racing machines, great to see them flex, and as always amazing corner angles. entry and exit!!

Hola que hermoso video, muy buen audio solo ruido de los motores, me encantó.los felicito. Desde Colonia Uruguay.
Listening to this video without looking reminds me of a vintage Harley Davidson. Gotta love that v twin power!
The "new" ones (2012 and so) which morgan built actually have v2 engines from the manufacturer that also builts engines for harley.
@@hellriser4661 S&S
i love this stuff. these guys are enjoying life. the sound of the engines is awesome

the Morgans sound glorious! brilliant
0:42 The first red car is the Alfa Romeo carazzata tz2. The carazzata is the transmission, and tz stands for tubular zagato, the one who made this aerodynamic body using plane aero physics.
Correction, Alfa Romeo Giulia carazzata tz2
To cool, what an experience that must be!
Just brilliant... lovely sound...
I'm jealous....😭😭😅😅👍
2 super cool ladies running up that hill! Good for you, lasses…
When 1 thumb-up just isn't enough.
Brilliant !
It is a Beautiful idle,music to the ear 👂
What a strange idle
I saw that the driver is pushing the pedal a little bit, that's probably the reason :)
It’s a narrow angle V with a lopey cam. It’s probably hard to keep it idling without it cutting out, hence the reving.
Quite possible the carbs don't have idle circuits...
@@paultinwell5557 that's the little bypass thingy right? A small opening that diverts air past the throttle valve?
Gddd-burr gdd-purr
Now that's a Hot Rod.
A guy in Massachusetts that I bought my Spitfire from, used to restore these (and Moran cars) and race them.
bravo aux pilotes ...ça doit pas être simple à piloter ces engins...
They sound glorious.
The green one sounds like something out of War of the Worlds.
4:18 gorgeous view
Those things could really go by the looks of things. Especially with the right driver.
I'm pretty sure I watched a clip here on TH-cam of Sue Darbyshire racing that Morgan...
Now that looks like fun.
Love to see a modern version
Epic machines, made to run to the mountain top. Cool sound and great video 19Bozzy92👍😎
I want to drive Morgan 3 wheeler someday.
スタートでホイルスピンしててかっちょ良すぎる👍👍
EVERY time I see one of these I think of Peter Sellers, "The Party."
Cool car! It sounds like a motorcycle. Fascinating engine note!
Yup like Harley Davidson with V twin.
@@farhanpratama0285 Exactly!
I thought those things were front wheel drive. Thank you for the video
As much as I don't like positive camber, these look right with it. Can't really tell what kind of front suspension it has, though.
It has the old designed Anzani engine :)
the way it snarls as the rpms fall...
Yup!
I went thru a local drivethru behind one and in the passenger side was an airedale with goggles
Супер техника 😍👍
Always loved morgans,
excellent
Вот это техника😍
Great 😊
sorry sir do you know the link to buy or want to sell the morgan aero engine since 1926
Those daring girls certainly new to lean into the corners.
New??? Really? KNEW.
What a machine
Nice car
I once drove a need one
I would love to built one
I'm building one now from scratch with a supercharged V-Rod engine.
What, no pall of blue smoke from the exhaust, or oil leaks? Can't possibly be British!
Sounds like a cat sitting on your lap!
👌👌
👍👍👍👍
100y old trikes🥰
No hand throttle?
I see him using a pump handle under the dash is that for fuel or oil. I am unfamiliar with this vehicle.
Pressurized tank instead of a fuel pump I guess.... and she not him, they both had female drivers.
I think I just had a Morgazm
I am sure that during the 50s some of these three wheelers were using Vincent 998 engines.
No
Matchless engines
any old iron any old iron
👍👍👍
Nice car bro 😭
Must be strange driving that thing
And what about the weight and horses? 😅
70.....75....80....85....ARRRGGGHHH!
Oh they don't make cars like that anymore......oh they do
any old iron, any old iron.....
Homer simpsom
that guy who is constantly revving his engine is a big show-off. How about adjusting the idling carburetor?
Oh Boy
Ouah ! It's funny ! :o)
Not a huge fan of the engine noise but dope car
Best sound ever!
Its a V twin,
Notably called a motorcycle engine.
Eeeer
Funny shit, almost car 🤣
Weirdness
They sound glorious
