The Appeal

The Morgan 3 Wheeler has become a cornerstone in the Malvern enterprise's repertoire; a spirited recapture of their iconic three-wheeled cyclecars first produced in 1910, offering that familiar agile, sharp handling and responsive personality that perfectly balances between modern performance and good, old-fashioned fun. Launched at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, this distinctive vehicle combines vintage aesthetics with modern engineering, featuring a front-mounted V-twin engine and the reliable Mazda MX-5 transmission driving the single rear wheel.

This 2012 example stands out with its tasteful duck egg blue paintwork and impressive specification. With just 4,697 miles on the odometer, it benefits from thoughtful upgrades, including the Stage 1 Garage 56 kit that not only increases power but also addresses the common issue with cracked exhausts that so often plagues a factory model.
Boasting a main dealer service history, this 3 Wheeler is now waiting for its lucky new owner, who in turn will receive a well-maintained, ultra-low-mileage example of Morgan's charismatic modern classic.
