Morgan continues to establish himself as the patron of old-fashioned automotive enjoyment. The brand comes with a successor to the crazy 3 Wheeler and today shows an extensive series of design sketches of what is perhaps the most impractical, uncomfortable car of 2022, which derives its right to exist from precisely these characteristics.
At the end of last year, autoland said goodbye to the Morgan 3 Wheeler, a three-wheeler with a V2 motorcycle block between the two front wheels. The spartan and archaic Englishman – of which you can rightly wonder whether it is a car at all – ensured that the corners of his mouth turned completely towards the ears with his stone-crushing driving experience. Refreshing, especially in the current car era. Fortunately, we don’t have to do without 3 Wheeler for long. Morgan announced the arrival of a successor to that puristic fun machine in September and is now showing the first design sketches of the new model.
Morgan presents us with two images and a teaser video in which dozens of design sketches of the successor to the 3 Wheeler can be seen. We emphatically do not write ‘the new 3 Wheeler’ because Morgan previously indicated that the model name is not yet fixed. By the way, no sketch shows the final design of the crazy new tricycle, although Morgan does indicate that they give an indication of what you can expect. We see various design proposals, with open and closed snouts and even with peculiar tents as a roof.
According to Morgan, the successor to the 3 Wheeler will be the car of the brand that is most adaptable to personal taste. The new tricycle will be presented next year. We already know that the V2 of the 3 Wheeler will be replaced by a naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine from Ford. Although the latest Morgans have BMW machines under the hood, Ford engines for older generations are not strange at all.
