Morgan 3-wheeler and 4-wheeler: Illustrated History Books & Guides

Morgan Three-Wheeler

NEW

The cyclecar emerged in the early 1900s to meet demand for very low-cost personal transport. In 1910, the three-wheeled Morgan led this new movement and proved more successful than its rivals, outlasting all other specialist cyclecar makers after mass-produced cars such as the Austin Seven appeared in the early 1920s. Apart from the interruptions of two world wars, Morgan three-wheelers were built from 1910 to 1952 and returned to production after a revival in 2012.

This book examines the origins of these distinctive vehicles, explains how they work, and describes the family behind their creation. It covers all Morgan three-wheeler models, past and present, and reviews their notable sporting history. Many previously unpublished facts, figures, and photographs are included.

Author Stephen Clark bought his first Morgan in 1998 and later restored an early two-speed three-wheeler, which he has driven widely in the UK and France. Drawing on his experience as registrar and director of the Morgan Three-Wheeler Club, the book offers clear and informed guidance on this unique vehicle.

The Morgan 3 Wheeler: Back to the Future!

In the early 21st century, the Morgan Motor Company returned to its original layout with a new 3 Wheeler. Rising costs to meet strict US emissions and safety rules made selling four-wheel models impractical for a small maker, while the 3 Wheeler, classed as a motorcycle, avoided these limits. By chance, the American Liberty Ace, a modern take on the 1930s V-Twin Morgan Super Sports, became the starting point, and Morgan designed and engineered its version in a remarkably short time.

Management expected limited sales, but orders surged after the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. This book explains how that happened and why a car with an American engine and a Japanese gearbox remains unmistakably English.
It covers the reasons behind Morgan's return to its roots, the design, engineering and production process, the driving experience, strengths and weaknesses and later factory improvements, ownership considerations, factory options and aftermarket upgrades, other three-wheelers that reached or failed to reach production, the Morgan family dispute, the introduction of the Super 3, and possible future development.

Making a Morgan - 17 days of craftmanship: step-by-step from specification sheet to finished car

Morgan's car production is unique. Even today, the company relies on skilled craftsmanship at every stage of building its distinctive cars. Each Morgan can be customized to meet the customer's specific wishes.

"Making a Morgan" follows the creation of a traditional Morgan Plus 4, from the initial customer specification to the finished car - a process that, in this case, takes 17 days. The authors spent every day at the Pickersleigh Road factory in Malvern, building strong connections with the Morgan craftsmen and craftswomen. This close relationship allowed them to capture an intimate portrayal of the people who proudly build Morgans and the meticulous way they work.
The book includes around 380 images, featuring both new and archival photographs from the Morgan factory. It offers a rare look at a unique and distinctly British manufacturing tradition. For the first time in over 100 years of Morgan's history, the production process is documented in such depth.

Morgan at Le Mans

Morgan, one of Britain's smallest car manufacturers, took on giants like Ferrari, Porsche, and Mercedes at Le Mans, one of the world's most prestigious races. Despite their modest size, Morgan's journey at Le Mans is a tale of courage and determination, reminiscent of David versus Goliath.
In 2003, Morgan secured a spot in the race and, although their car retired in the eighteenth hour, they had outperformed Ferraris, MGs, and Porsches in the GT Class. Undeterred, Morgan returned in 2004 and successfully finished the race, celebrated by thousands of British fans who had traveled to support them.

This book, written by David Dowse - Morgan's press officer and the Le Mans racing team manager at the time - chronicles Morgan's remarkable story at Le Mans, capturing their spirit of resilience and passion for motorsport.
