The Holy Trinity

The 3 Wheeler is an undeniably fun car. It’s fast, thrilling and addictive. V-Twin power, solid handling and heaps of style make for an irresistible blend that puts the 3 Wheeler in a league of its own.

Morgan’s 3 Wheeler defies categorisation. It’s a stripped-back sports car with an angry M V-Twin, but it’s also loveable and charming. The M3W has been a huge success story for Morgan, and MOG takes a look into the integral parts that we believe paved the way for its popularity. We travelled to three Holy Trinity churches in the Malvern area in order to test the three elements that makes the M3W the coolest Mog in the range.

POWER 

When choosing an engine, Morgan needed something reliable with the right power output and available in the right quantities. With no other motor manufacturer mounting a V-Twin on the front of a three-wheeled car, Morgan needed a company willing to do something different.

Morgan chose the S&S X-Wedge V-Twin for the 3 Wheeler, and boy was it a stroke of genius. Mark Cerrone, Head of the 3 Wheeler build and machine shop, explains why S&S have worked so well with Morgan. “There were other engines considered, Harley Davidson for example, but S&S were really keen to help out with the 3 Wheeler project. It’s unusual for a V-Twin to be mounted sideways so it was a risk for any manufacturer.
