Morgan’s three-wheelers were known for being well-designed and well-built, proving remarkably capable in racing with a Gold Medal in the 1911 London-Exeter-London Reliability Trial with HFS Morgan himself at the helm. Early Morgan three-wheelers were typically fitted with a front-mounted, air-cooled V-twin motorcycle engine powering the single rear wheel via a two or three-speed transmission and a chain final drive. Different models could seat one, two, or four people, and cars could be ordered with a folding roof for wet-weather driving.
This Morgan Family Runabout was purchased by the late vendor in 2004, purchased in restored condition, and used on many rallies and events in his ownership. The Morgan on offer benefits from the rarer engine of the Matchless Model X which has been rebuilt and is said to be in running order, work has been carried out by Ewan Cameron from Cameron Motorsport in Malvern. It has not been used for a few years and some recommissioning has been started and further work to finish before placing it back on the road. A great opportunity to own a rare survivor of the Morgan marque. It comes complete with a current V5C some old pictures of the car when purchased, receipts for when it was purchased, and a Morgan Certificate of Authenticity.
