It's Baaaaaack! The Classic Moggie (2009, traction, motorcycle, seats)

[KoobleKar]

The classic Moggie is back!



Is it a car, a pod racer - or a fighter plane? It's none of those; it's a genuine Morgan three-wheeler - not a replica! - and it's the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
The three-wheeler - immortalised by Peter Sellers in “The Party” - was built, with a variety of big V-twin motorcycle engines, from 1909 to 1953. Now the iconic design has been updated with 21st Century technology and classic aircraft styling cues to bring back a more carefree era when driving was fun and every journey an adventure.

That looks like an interesting product. I realize that due to its low weight the performance will be good regardless of what it's power plant is but it's still surprising to see such low output. I'm guessing routing power to a single rear wheel presents some major traction issues.

I am guess it willnever pass safety testig in US.

It's a motorcycle (only 3 wheels) so it'll pass just fine. It's a bit expensive, but barely more than the good replicas of the originals:

I think the original used a Moto Gussi motor.
I would rather have a Lotus 7 that seats 2.

they used a few differnt engines:



The S&S in the new ones is a good choice.

With the way gas prices are I'd love to have one. I like the first pic, gotta love the plane look and side pipes.

They wouldn't be selling it with USA graphics if they weren't planning on importing them to the USA. It also says they are approved for the UK and USA.

It's also a TWO seater.

Here's a couple videos about it:
