There isn't a petrolhead out there who didn't sit down with a glossy auto magazine and though to himself "I'd love one of these Morgan 3 Wheelers". But, due to cost constraints and the fact that it's not practical, most people don't actually buy one.
We honestly have no idea how supercar spotter Shmee150 made his fortune, but he is now living the good life and owns quite a few cool rides as well. After selling his Audi R8 V10 Spider last year, he bought a McLaren 12C supercar and a Fiat 500c Abarth to run around London in. Of course, all that is history now that he's bought a 3 Wheeler.
Shmee150, by his real name Tim Burton, picked up the awesome machine from the Morgan Motor Company factory in Malvern. After that, he chose to do what any of us would: drive home on the windiest country roads he could find.
The Morgan 3 Wheeler is a car that really needs no introduction. Up front is an S&S V-twin motor displacing 1989cc and covered in chrome like a gigantic hood ornament. It's linked to a Mazda 5-speed gearbox that sends the power to the single wheel sends it to the road.
It's an amazing car to look at, though one that most will never experience. The standard price of this car is a whopping £26,000 before options like the £2,400 chrome package are added. Not many people can afford to spend this kind of money on what's essentially a toy.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
