New updated and revised edition! In the early years of the 21st century, the Morgan Motor Company decided to return to the configuration of its origins, with a new 3 Wheeler, the M3W. One reason for this decision was that it could no longer sell its four-wheelers in the USA, due to the costs of meeting increasingly restrictive legislation on emissions and accident safety becoming prohibitive for a small manufacturer. The 3 Wheeler, classed as a motorcycle, bypasses these complex requirements. By coincidence, an American three-wheeler, the Liberty Ace (itself a modernised recreation of the V-Twin Morgan Super Sports of the 1930s) was selected as the starting point. Morgan then designed and engineered the new model in an astonishingly short period. The management thought it might sell a few hundred 3 Wheelers; however, orders flooded in after its launch at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, leading to considerable complications. This is the story of how all that happened and how the resulting car is so quintessentially and eccentrically English.
Peter Dron has worked as a writer and contributor to motoring magazines for almost four decades. A regular contributor to the Daily Telegraph’s Motoring section, his weekly column ran for seven years, during which time he wrote numerous features and new car appraisals – as well as contributing to many other publications. From 1976-83, he worked at Motor magazine, starting as a road tester, and ending as its feature editor, and after this, he was editor of Fast Lane magazine, launching the magazine in 1984, and leaving in 1991.
Peter has also been a successful racing driver … successful in the sense that it was entirely at the expense of other people!
