Lot details

Registration No: HL 4282
Frame No: 1160 A
Engine No: LTOWC/S 39052F
CC: 1100
MOT: Exempt

  • Water-cooled JAP engine
  • Long term ownership and offered from a deceased estate
  • New tyres and tubes plus V5c document included
  • Subject last year to an extensive overhaul by Marque specialist
  • Bearing and Bevel box inspection and repairs where required
  • Engine and braking system overhaul

Progressively developed from 1909, HFS Morgan's ingenious Three-Wheeler ultimately played host to a variety of JAP, Matchless, Blackburne, Anzani and Ford powerplants. The Aero derivative soon became a favourite among sporting motorists, and with stark bodywork, impressive power-to-weight ratio and nimble handling were capable of embarrassing far more expensive machinery. Initially equipped with 980cc JAP V-twin side-valve engine allied to a two-speed manual transmission, it continued to evolve until production ceased in 1933.

Vendor Condition Ratings:

Engine: 'Good'
Cycle Parts: 'Good'
Paint & Brightwork: 'Average'
Transmission: 'Good'
Electrics: 'Average'
Frame & Suspension: 'Good'
