I honestly think that may well be the coolest car on the entire planet.
Coolest death trap.
I am building a replica of this car complete with the wooden frame and the aircraft fabric with the Dope sprayed to make it truly look and feel like an old aeroplane. I am using an MGB rear with those beautiful wire wheels. I am also using an opposed twin engine from a Cessna to power this through an MGB transmission with a clutch. It will also be fitted with a starter as well as a charging system and vintage looking lights with a 9 inch LED Spotlight inside the Grill above the engine to truly light up the night when needed. Eventually it will make the rounds to the cars and coffee as well as the car shows in FLA.
I agree. It has taken me several years since I first saw this cool car to source an opposed twin aircraft engine for the power plant. An MGB transmission that I am still working on casting an adapter out of aluminum in order to mate the flywheel and clutch plate so it works. The transmission will give 4 gears forward and one reverse. Connected through a balanced driveshaft to an MGB differential with beautiful MGB wire wheels and juice brakes. Yes brakes at least on the rear wheels. I am upgrading the front suspension to A-arms and coil over shocks. I am using the traditional frame that Morgan used connected via nut-serts to the Ash or Oak framing that will support the ceconite aircraft cloth sprayed with plasticizer . I am keeping the red color and making a dash and cockpit out of mahogany with stained oak and aircraft style gauges. I am so excited to take it to every show and contest I am able and I expect someone will want to buy it like the last one I made. I expect to be done within a month.
In essence a really elegant rat rod . I would love a shirt with this and the beast of Turin on it.
Holy crap, it starts drifting/wobble every possible moment
Thanks for an articulate and understated video.
that is a sweet ride you have. looks to be fast. thank you for the video
Would have liked to see it run on track more....
As I understand it , this is chain-drive and so it in effect has no Differential . It's locked solid which may account for the skill needed to drive it on the limit. Also the rear wheels are narrower than the front . This also leads to somewhat wayward handling . The biggest question is how much space do the drivers Cajones occupy? That must be quite something! Respect!!
Haven’t seen a four wheel Morgan before
Looks wicked!
There are some astoundingly beautiful four-wheel Morgans out there. Take a look at the Morgan 4+4 for example.
I'd say, most Morgan's are 4 wheel!
I would like to see more races which exclude vehicles which were TRAILERED to the meeting!
it is great to watch on hillclimbs too. nice to hear the driver speak they know what us anoraks want to hear,
I wonder if you might find Excelsior Comp H car racing tyres an improvement on the motorcycle tyres. I found them a big improvement on the front of my Morgan three wheeler from the Avon M/C tyres. The stiffer sidewalls make for far more responsive and accurate steering.
Duro hf308 is a 4 ply, not sure if it's available in the right diameters
I am starting a UA-cam channel with the building of a replica of this car. Instead of using a GN rear (none available in the US.) I am using an MG rear differential and beautiful spoked wire wheels. I am using an experimental aircraft opposed twin as the power plant possibly with a turbo.. I am setting up a machine shop and a forge in order to cast the aluminum adapter to link the motor and a 4 speed manual MG transmission. I am going to be able to cast any parts and then turn them down on the lathe or the mill. Depending on how the project turns out I may start building turn key replicas here in the States as well as kits. They will essentially be WWI airplanes without a prop or wings. I am going to use aircraft ceconite and spray it with plasticizer. It will be a wood over metal frame similar to both the Morgan and the Pembleton.
What a lovely thing.
Wow! Love this car! I wouldn’t want to crash with it though...
Is this the same Charlie Martin that was driving for Praga last year? Id so I see where the skills were developed!
That thing looks heIIa squirrelly! Eek!
Finally someone fixed that horrid bit of being a three wheeler.. yes I'm uncultured
awesome
The open bottom of the rear half looks like it lifts the rear end up at speed. I wonder if the lack of downforce is why this car is squirrelly around the track.
Mike K it’s squirrelly because there’s no diff so they have to chuck it in and correct it from there so that it doesn’t underwater into the barriers
What are the wheels? I love them, would like some for my car
there should be a goodwood game
OK, that is awesome.
It's running on methanol what's the compression ratio, and what kind of power/torque. Also what does it weigh
I can only find info from 2015 and it doesnt state what it makes now. it did make 55hp with a 996cc J.A.P JTOR V-twin it now has a 1316CC V-twin. im guessing around 70-80HP and probably 700lbs. With some digging, its the sam JAP engine just stroked and bored

It weight 2.4 tons empty. Full load at 8 tons. Speed between 3.5 and 4 kms /h, and no break. Autonomy ?12 minutes. The price ? about $220.000. But we are in 1770...
@@Pat69fr I think you're commenting the wrong video buddy.
Or maybe it's a joke..
@@C4H10N4O2 he's definitly wrong in everything xDD
It should be compared to your average morgan, same everything besides the rear.
@@invictuscrown4026 about 430 kg I think, maybe less
I love this
hey Morgan watch this.
looks better than 3wheeler.
BADASS!
looks like a vintage land speed record car
Cool beans
jUST DIVINE !
It looks cool but not a good car for the inexperienced. From what I saw of it in this video it appears to have handling issues.
Oh finally
Jeebus, no loose clothing near that open prop shaft 5mm from your arse 😱
A canvas canoe add front of a Morgan trike the back of a something and this is what you get hilarious.👍👍👍👍👍👍
Why is it wagging around on the straights?
It could be because the surface is damp so there is little grip, combined with hard, cold tyres. Because it's chain-drive, there's no differential to balance power delivery so when one rear wheel spins, the other one does too. I'm not going to cast aspersions at the chassis' flexibility but that can't help keep things straight. Who wants to go in a straight line, anyway?
If Jules Verne had designed a car it would look like this
looks edgy af
Well: at least it's British!!!
круто
Aaagggh!! Stop calling it canvas. Aircraft never used canvas.
@@andrewphillips4897 no parachutes used silk. Aircraft used cotton and linen!😁
In the end, it doesnt even matter....
Looks cool, but not a fan of wood being a car material
Morgan 4 wheeler lol
Most of them are.
Seems to spend a hell of a lot of time going sideways. Obviously the racing clips were selective but it looked more like a marriage made in hell rather than heaven. One things for sure, you'll be a bloody good driver once you've campaigned that for a season!
Nice Rat
Silly machine. Does EOR drive it or Piglet?
Looks sketch
Again with the creepy muzak. THUMBS DOWN
Neat car. But why do they have
a gay guy covering the story?
