- Great fun, you can even touch the asphalt if you really want to (Brunchenn).
It's not the fastest, but certainly an experience around the Nurburgring.
10.08.2013 BTG Time: 11min23, I think a high 10 could be possible without traffic and in ideal conditions.
This is true bucketlist stuff :D
Why purchase a Morgan Three Wheeler you ask? Because the driver in this video had a smile on his face from the beginning of the lap to the end.... Great vehicle, i Hope Morgan never stops making these.

They stopped making this version with the S&S V twin, as the archaic engine could not be tuned to meet global emissions regulations. The new 3 Wheeler is going to use a 1.5 liter Ford 3 cylinder engine, and updated suspension, wheels, tires. It will also have updated styling. The V twin 3 Wheeler was inspired by WW2 era prop plane Fighters, wheras the new 3 cylinder 3 Wheeler will have styling inspired by post war fighter jets. So the new one will still have retro style, but be quicker and better balanced. I want one of each!
@@olivierschraepen5451 fuck
This car is pure driving fun. The sound of the gearbox and the motor. Simply perfect. This video makes me smile. And a super driver. Not too fast and not too slow.
I feel sorry for the single person who 'disliked' this video. What a boring soul you must be...
Indeed
It is still at 1 dislike 3 years later lol

I thoroughly enjoyed that lap, thank you very much
A lot of German hardware passing you there old chap! Need to get the old goggles on and have a pop at them old bean! Keep the side up and all that! Tally ho!
Love the smile on the drivers face. Says it all
Fantastic! I've been looking for a video of this vehicle lapping the ring, it's good to counterbalance all of the GT3's and BMWs!
I love the Morgan 3 wheelers, I'm here in the states, so I got a Vanderhall Carmel and love it. Nothing sounds better than the S+S engine.
Quel magnifique engin. La boite de vitesses a l'air d'être très rapide. Dommage de ne pas nous donner les indications de vitesse sur ce parcours.
ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, das die anderen in ihren Modernen Fahrzeugen mehr Spass hatten, als die Personen im Morgan 3 Wheeler... Wunderbar!! und Danke!
Love these 3 wheelers! Surprised at how quiet the exhaust is on this one.
No where near even being close to the fastest lap, but I guarantee that this was more fun and rewarding than almost any other vehicle! I've lapped Road American many times in a friend's 3 Wheeler. Very fun so long as one stays within the limits of the vehicle.
I saw one today, I almost fell out of the 1ton I drive around at work at the sight they exist in the USA.
I think if I were there ( have been many a time ) and saw you there , I'd much rather ask to have a lap in the Moggy than anything that was out on track with you; looks much more enjoyable .
It's very enjoyable due to the fact that it's completely different than anything else out there. The fact that you can touch the holy pavement of the nurburgring while driving on it, makes the experience completely different than any other car :D
Biggest issue with it is that if you do go on the nurburgring, it doesn't take you very long to realize that you are the smallest one out there, and very unprotected. If you then see the one and a half ton GT3 steaming up from behind at an alarming rate of knots, it does scare you now and then. Other than that, it's absolutely ace and should be experienced by everyone with a love of cars :)
This video was very fun to watch
how is Morgan doing in turns (as a 3 wheeler)
How, exactly, do you make a Miata 5-speed sound like straight cut gears?
+Dan Harmer probably that quaife differential that's located right between the driver and passenger.
@@jonnymiskatonic I think that you do not need to have a differential for just 1 wheel..
I love this M3W. I want to have one in my Garage. This, my Harley and a normal Car to drive to Work. More i dont need.
Certainly not the fastest lap, but sure looks like fun nonetheless
I owned a JZR replica Morgan , with a Honda CX500 engine . Got flies on my teeth from smiling so much , and I was told that my inside wheel lifted off on corners . How can you put a price on all that?
Could you do a 4 wheeled conversion? In theory I mean, the three wheels are what make the car after all...
Everything can always be done, you can even convert a Fiat 500 to a moped (jalopnik.com/theres-actually-a-decent-reason-why-germans-will-spend-1794673235). But doing so would be extremely difficult to do it properly as there is not a lot of space in the back, you would need a differential, a prop shaft to power the differential, and so on.
@@PJH1111 oke thanks
Hätte nicht gedacht,daß das Ding eine Temporunde auf dem alten Ring durchhält, denn die Klagen über die schlechte Fertigungsqualität sind nach erst sieben Jahren der neuen Produktion bereits Legion !
No big slicks no brakes.
Art of driving only🥳🍾👍
What a neat car.
The sound really is from 1934 isn't it?
I wish I had one !
That's why we like mechanics more than electronics.
Rustyrivet250 Yes it may be slower than modern cars with electonics. Isn't it a fun way to drive? After all, we can't totally rely on electronics.
Rustyrivet250 I see your point.With electronics, it can even detect the slipping of wheels with TCS. We don't even need brake rapidly as we got ABS.However, don't you want to get better control on your ride?
+Ken Yu Yes I do, but one of my excentric preferences is being alive.
Crazy, I know.
+Eggly Bagelface Yeah so do I.Think about this. F1 racer, LM racers, GT racers, etc are racing without electric assistance. That prove we can maximise the full potential as well as pleasure when the the car is off from assistance.
F#@%§ all those Porsches and BMW! Open cockpit, wind (and insects ...) in your face, and the sound of 2 cylinders ... that‘s life guys 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Many many many many people focus on outright performance these days. Cars today have become a numbers-game, instead of a drivers market. People seem to check what's the CO2, what's the 0-100 time, how much horsepower does it have, what's the fuel consumption? All questions that are totally irrelevant to a good, fun, drivers car. Sadly manufacturers have noticed this and are now trying their best to out-number the opposition constantly.
Nobody seems to care about the fact that a car like BMW's M2 CS weighs 1600kg without driver. And that's not a big car...
Nobody cares that you can't order a manual Ferrari anymore. Most people don't know that BMW, known for building engines, does not offer a naturally aspirated car anymore. The new C63S will be a 4-pot (BUT WITH POPS AND BANGS YEAAHHHH) instead of a V8. The car that I looked forward to the most in recent years: 991.2 GT3, is a boring machine as you can't exploit the power nor the chassis on normal road conditions without going to jail. Sure, it's lightning fast, but who the hell cares?
I've grown fond of small, lightweight and fantastic to drive cars. These are the cars that put a smile on your face, instead of a dent in your wallet just to be able to say that you own one and pose in it. You should always buy a car for yourself, and drive what you enjoy. Things like a Caterham, Lotus, Morgan, Jannerelly, ... those are the cars that you can enjoy for an hour on a public road after a stressful day, or for a week in the Scottish highlands. For most that don't live near a track and don't have the ambition to do trackdriving most of the time, that is what you need in life :)
Try the Gates Powergrip GT2 Belt/Pulley system. Better tooth shape, less horsepower loss, lower vibration and less noise.
+Patrick Mooney They make those that bolt up to the M3W?
That is a vintage race car today !
El dichoso M3 para quien lo quiera🤙
looks like a lot of fun
Looks like you were out on a Sunday jaunt, I think you could have pushed her a little harder, love the car though.
Yeah, he could have smashed up his £35,000 car.
I wish you could feel my jealousy through my phone.
Particolare triciclo...!
I really like the design of this vehicle it looks like a bullet
Nurning the lapbag ring
Pure, undiluted…terror
that's what we call a shit grab at 8.13
It is like driving a formula one car
Not at all
I actually wanted a Morgan until watching this vid... that whine would give me a migraine before I'd gone ten miles.
its not as bad in he flesh the mic must have been low down to reduce wind noise as I have never heard that louder whine from the cockpit
I kinda like it.
The first thousand or so M3s had the noisy Quaife transfer box (which is what you can hear), since then the problem has been sorted.
Take some asprin !
70....75......80....85....ARGGGGH!
lets build a ww2 aeroplane with wheels

Would have been faster if you threw out the dead weight. :P
Yikes!
nice run, but watching focus`es and fiesta`s FLYING by kinda ruins the fun of it for me..
