I have a huge dislike for 3 wheelers in general. Trikes are the most pointless forms of transport ever, managing to combine all the negatives of a car with all the negatives of a bike. I like these When are you changing your name back?

Diahatsu Bee I was looking for a Morgan, I suspect this is a replica, doesn't look quite right to be a Morgan to me. Bond Bug GMC concept from '64, I think it is. Velorex based Hoba Normal Velorex. Davis Divan Hehehe The list is almost endless.

Found some more gems. This one has too many wheels, but it *was* a Bond. This is the only three wheeler I know where the single wheel is not central. There's a peculiar design reason for it but I've forgotten what that is. Scott Sociable, 1922. A Berkeley and, I think, a Messerschmitt. A love this, apparently it's called a Phanomobile. What I can't find is a really excellently customised Velorex that had a green/gold fibreglass body. One of those things where you stumble across them and can't find them again :/

Yep I reckon your right wheels are too wide, engine sits too far back and it doesn't look like a matchless or a J (sorry censor wont let me enter the companys name) engine. Still cool though My workshop landlord has a genuine 1935 Morgan supersports and it is fairly different. His is a later car as it has a spare wheel. the earlier cars where unusual in that the wheels especially the rear where not easily removable apparently. They sound properly awesome in the flesh and are a hoot to be taken in even if 30mph feels more like 90mph ;D have a pic of Brians

I had a few taxi rides in these when on holiday in Srilanka years ago.. Absolutely terrifying and I was obsessed with the idea of buying one for ages ;D Excellent work on your fresh start/reinvention

What, J.A.P? I thought I better not as ive done enough annoying the mods recently J.A. Prestwich Industries, commonly abbreviated as J.A.P. I don't think anyone is going to confuse the name of a motorbike engine manufacturer for a potentially offensive term for the Japanese As for the relaunched Morgan, the story goes that a company in America called Liberty Ace was building replicas using a Harley Davidson V-twin mated to a Mazda 5 speed box. Morgan liked the idea so much that they decided to build their own version of their version. Or something. So the engine is likely to be a Harley Davidson engine, or, according to some reports (like this one in the Telegraph), a remanufactured J.A.P. engine. The press release states a target of 100bhp, so I reckon the Harley engine. It's definitely not a Hayabusa because that's a 1300cc 4 cylinder

Trikes with one wheel out front are almost always a fail in my book but one out back can be awesome.
