Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New updated and revised edition! In the early years of the 21st century, the Morgan Motor Company decided to return to the configuration of its origins, with a new 3 Wheeler. One reason for this decision was that it could no longer sell its four-wheelers in the USA, due to the costs of meeting increasingly restrictive legislation on emissions and accident safety becoming prohibitive for a small manufacturer. The 3 Wheeler, classed as a motorcycle, bypasses these complex requirements. By coincidence, an American three-wheeler, the Liberty Ace (itself a modernised recreation of the V-Twin Morgan Super Sports of the 1930s) was selected as the starting point. Morgan then designed and engineered the new model in an astonishingly short period. The management thought it might sell a few hundred 3 Wheelers; however, orders flooded in after its launch at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, leading to considerable complications. This is the story of how all that happened and how an eccentric sports car with an American engine and a Japanese gearbox is, nevertheless, quintessentially English.

Download or read book Behind the Scenes in the Vintage Years written by “Torrens” Arthur Bourne and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Bourne was at the centre of British motorcycling from 1923-1951. This is his fascinating story. Back in the 1920s, there were more motor cyclists than car drivers, records were being broken every month at the Brooklands race track in Surrey, roads were empty and motorbikes constantly broke down. Arthur Bourne, who used the pseudonym ‘Torrens’ for readers of the best-selling weekly The Motor Cycle, was in the thick of the game. He had the good luck to be Engineer to The Auto-Cycle Union and the-then, not yet 26, editor of a famous motorcycling journal. This is his story of what it was like to ride hundreds of miles round Britain on reliability trials – essential for manufacturers to claim that their bikes were worth buying – and how he provided weekly guidance for thousands of youngsters on two wheels. He writes of Brooklands, and of TT races on the lsle of Man; of his encouragement to young engineers like Edward Turner and Phil Vincent; and of how, in the Second World War, he enabled the airborne forces at Arnhem to be equipped with lightweight motorcycles that could be dropped by parachute or flown in by glider. For anyone interested in motorbikes and the people who rode them, when British manufacturing was at its apogee, this is a unique testimony. Motor cycles were fashionable. The Duke of York, later to be George V1 and his wife Elizabeth, later known as Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, were among the enthusiasts. lt was an exciting era, recalled by ‘Torrens’ near the end of his life, in a good journalist’s prose. Behind the Scenes in the Vintage Years is a unique and fascinating record of an unrepeatable era in British motorcycling and engineering history. It contains many black and white pictures which bring this area of the past to life.

Book excerpt: For owners and would-be owners of three-wheeled Morgans, Ken Hill has created an invaluable ‘Bible’ which is absolutely packed with genuinely useful information. Ken sets the stage by detailing the history of the Morgan motor company, describes the marque’s motorsport record and then, with great thoroughness, chronicles the evolution of all three-wheeler models since 1910. Next comes practical advice on maintenance and repair – advice based on expert information produced when the three-wheelers were still in production. Part of the ‘Morgan experience’ is the extraordinary social scene that embraces the marque on a worldwide basis, so Ken devotes a whole chapter to Morgan clubs and their activities. The last part of the book is a series of appendices comprised of original specification, production changes, wiring diagrams, technical data sheets, details of specialists, distributors and manufacturers, details of Morgan miniature models and a record of factory sales literature. Altogether, this work is a unique source book of essential information for all Morgan three-wheeler owners and enthusiasts. The two other books in this series: Completely Morgan - Four-wheelers 1936-1968, and Completely Morgan – Four-wheelers 1968-1995, are also being reissued as part of Veloce’s Classic Reprint series.

Download or read book Three-Wheelers written by Ken Hill and published by Shire Publications. This book was released on 2011-09-20 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is generally accepted that Karl Benz was the inventor of the motor car in 1885 but it is less well known that his car was a three-wheeler. Starting with the developments in the early years, this book puts three-wheelers in their historical context and describes the companies which produced them. For the first twenty-five years three and four wheel designs were developed side by side but the three-wheeler had severe bodywork limitations and four wheels gave a far more stable platform on which to build. Motoring at this time was limited to the wealthy and manufacturers began to realise that there was potentially an enormous market for cars at a reasonable price. For twenty years the light car, cyclecar, three-wheeler and motorcycle competed for this market until they were eclipsed by the mass-produced, £100 motor car. Since the Second World War many attempts have been made to revive the three-wheeler but the days when one in ten of vehicles on the road was a three-wheeler have gone.

Book excerpt: The first Morgan era was of course the age of the Three-wheeler. HFS Morgan designed a fun car, the Morgan Runabout, for people with little money but a sense of adventure. He had a huge business success and in the 1920s the Morgan factory in Malvern was making 2500-3000 cars a year with a smaller number being built in France under the Darmont Morgan brand. Nevertheless each year production was always sold out in advance as customers were desperate for small cars. The Morgan was popular because it was one of the best and most reliable light cars you could buy. Stripped down a Morgan Three-wheeler also made a successful racing car. In 1913 a Morgan won the French Cyclecar Grand Prix and at Brooklands in the 1920s the JAP V twin engined Morgans were as fast as a Blower Bentley, completing a lap of the banked circuit at an average speed of over 100mph. Numerous records were broken in Morgan Three-wheelers, notably by Gwenda Stewart at Brooklands and Monthlery. In spite of this success on the racetracks, during the 1930s Morgan Three-wheeler sales fell off a cliff. By 1935 there were only 300 orders for the cars. The reason for this was the arrival of mass produced cars from Ford, Morris and Austin costing a similar price but offering more features for the money. All three-wheelers are reported on including the Grand Prix and F models. Also four-wheelers - the 4/4, Plus 4, Plus 4 Plus, Plus 8, Roadster, Aero 8, AeroMax, Aero America and the futuristic LIFECar. A total of 840 illustrated pages with 314 full colour. Hard Cover with genuine leather.

Book excerpt: Amateur road racer, raconteur and car guy extraordinaire, Anatoly Arutunoff tells a lifetime of his favorite true first person stories. From his youth in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, to participation at the real Targa Florio, to eventually winning the SCCA runoffs in his Morgan 4/4, to more recent times on the historic rally circuit Toly makes you think you were there sharing all the adventures and camaraderie. There are intriguing family moments, the exuberance of youth and brushes with greats such as Redman, Clark and Moss plus many lesser known players from the past sixty years who collectively molded the sports car culture that has always surrounded the author. Written in an uncomplicated and light-hearted style the reader will either renew a relationship or discover a new friend in a man who suggests, “All the car stuff I’ve done is a sort of cross-section of what you would have done, if you’d been young in the sixties and had the money.” Ride with Toly on the roads and racetracks in America and Europe and share in an experience that is truly “One Off!”

Download or read book Morgan 3-Wheeler Gold Portfolio, 1910-52 written by and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H.F.S. Morgan's original intention was to produce a cheap, economy car. The basic design of the first Morgan consisted of a light tubular frame with a front-mounted V-twin motorcycle engine and three wheels. Refinements such as front wheel brakes and underslung rear springs were added over the years and by 1933 a three-speed gearbox was available. The engine was not enclosed until the F-type appeared in 1934 with a Ford engine under a conventional bonnet. Despite the original intention of economy the power to weight ratio lent itself to competition work and with various modifications Morgans competed successfully during the 1930s. This is a book of contemporary road tests. Specification and technical data, new model introductions, competition use, history, tuning and maintenance, travel. Models covered include: 1100 Aero, 980 Family, Super Sports, Sports two-Seater, Family, 4-cylinder, V-Twin Sports, F Super.
