Title: 3 wheel/3cylinder airhead..car
Post by: nhmaf on August 20, 2012, 08:42:14 PM

Now this is something one doesnt see every day...
3 wheeled, 3 cylinder airhead (it does apparently use (3) R100 cylinders, but not much else from an R100)

I wonder what it will go for?

And then there is the more Practical (?) Morgan 3-wheeler.

The guy is grinning because he likes the taste of insects at speed thrown off by the pulverizing pulse of the Harley Davidson motor.  I tried to convince them to put a Ducati V-twin motor in it but to no joy.

Still parts are readily available and the motor should be easy to work on.  The price is a bit steep though....

You can now build these as a kit car again with a Motoguzzi drive train for considerable less than the Bona Fide Morgan.

JZR was the original Kit Car in the UK from years gone by.

Here is a lnk:
