Engine too good to be true 1 liter and 45 hp 70 years ago, most impressive. Is there something I should know about the twin-vee set up which accounts for this? Looks like a great one for the twisties, but I wonder about the actual characteristics of a 3 wheel, tricycles can be mighty tricky in fast corners. Still crazy cool.
Re: Engine too good to be true actualy this was probably a 2 stroke , or at least a twin. if it is 1 cyl it is really remarkable<!-- Signature -->
Re: Engine too good to be true It is actually a bike-motor (they still hav mure bhp/l)<!-- Signature -->
I actually saw one of these the other day I had no idea what the hell it was, it looked like something that had been cobbled up in someone's garage. It was on the street too, in regular traffic. Quite a sight!<!-- Signature -->
Re: I actually saw one of these the other day ok u shure it wasnt a trikey bike in the street?<!-- Signature -->
Re: I actually saw one of these the other day i know a guy that has one of these... he's in the process of restoring it but i hope to ride in it sometime (if he wont let me drive it)
Re: I actually saw one of these the other day yes. it just drages on the ground at the back... think about it smart guy
Re: I actually saw one of these the other day In holland (ASSEN) they race these things every year (some use methanol instead of regular fuel)<!-- Signature -->
it seems a ancient Grinall know you the Grinall??? a car of 3 whells (no, dont be a tricycle) this seems a anciente Grinall. do you agree??<!-- Signature -->
Which is the best 3 wheeled car (2 at front 1 at back) I would like to say the Ronnoco but beings it hasnt been built you cant exactly race it, lol (I'm attatching the Manta to this message)<!-- Signature -->
Re: Morgan Super Sports .V. Ronnoco Manta ooohhhh...... so thats what your avatar thing was... tis not bad, but it sure wouldnt have been around in 1933! <IMG SRC="http://www.supercars.net/servlets/cMsg/html/emoticons/smile.gif"> wouldnt be a fair competition<!-- Signature -->
fun as hell. This thing would kick ass for rippin' around. I'd call it more of a bike than a car. (I guess that would be trike.) Still, I'd like to build a little street legal rig like this. 45 horse was pretty respectable back then, then cosider the 895 lbs, it would perform well. a blast.<!-- Signature -->
Re: fun as hell. when was morgan founded? they've been around for quite some time now.<!-- Signature -->
Re: fun as hell. One word: Gangsta This would be the equivalent of those goofy ass lotus 'trikes' in the Cash Money rap videos, these would be a frickin blast to drive around town.<!-- Signature -->
Re: fun as hell. damn dude, three-wheelers are such an interesting concept, i love these styled cars! imagine dragging in one of these suckers... one obscenely huge rear tire! ;-) killer only downside i'd see would be some sort of instability, especially in a bumpy sort of track (kind of the reason 3-wheeled ATVs arent really around much anymore) beautiful car, as always =D<!-- Signature -->
Re: fun as hell. This would be the best, gobs of fun and legal speeds, oh I love it so!<!-- Signature -->
Re: fun as hell. looks like it would be fun to putt around in one of these. they look like a large classic three wheeled power wheels with a faster and stronger engine stuck inside it. dangerous, but fun.
