Morgan 3 Wheeler went to Australia

A car for a quick explosion on a sunny day

This car is crazy, crazy and stupid. But I still love it.

Right now, the Morgan 3 Wheeler is at the top of my 2015 wish list, beating even the Mercedes-AMG GT and the all-new Toyota HiLux.

This is directly related to the motorcycle-powered three-wheeler that was built over 100 years ago in Morgan's earliest days, with the claim that it could crack the "Ton" at 100 mph (160 km/h, give or take) . was the reference number for a serious high-speed car.

The whole purpose of 3 Wheeler is driving in the truest sense of the word.

It took Morgan importer Chris van Wyck more than four years to get the resurgent 3 Wheeler cleared for importation into Australia, and in the UK that meant some serious redesign work. The most obvious change is the new air intakes that give the car a mustache, but there are also proper mirrors, improved rollover protection, a reversing light and a padded steering wheel.

But the basic principles have remained the same: from the front-mounted motorcycle V-twin engine to a single rear drive wheel.

The whole purpose of 3 Wheeler is driving in the purest sense. It's not intended for family work, commuting, or anything else where the driver is really just another passenger.

This is a car for fast driving on a sunny day.

The 3 Wheeler is far from cheap, with a base price of $90,000.

The first Australian vehicles will be built at Morgan next month and it is highly likely that some of them will come with an optional RAF color scheme that replicates a World War I fighter.

Orders are currently being filled for the end of the year, and while the 3 Wheeler is far from cheap with a base price of $90,000, that's unlikely to deter anyone who wants to buy it.

In any case, such buyers will probably have a few mundane cars in the garage - Audis, BMWs, Mercedes and the like, maybe even a Porsche - for a few days until the 3 Wheeler arrives.

taken to training.
