Book Description
Once upon a time, I watched an episode of Top Gear test three track-day cars. Richard Hammond turned up in a Morgan 3-Wheeler. I had never seen or heard of the 3-Wheeler before, but I immediately developed an intense need to have one. This book describes my journey.his book is not a set of plans to build your own 3-Wheeler. A set of plans would require you to follow my build exactly, make the same compromises I made, and want exactly what I came up with. This book is, instead, a documentation of the process I went through to build my own 3-Wheeler. I encountered many new problems to solve in building my 3-Wheeler and I hope an examination of how I solved those problems will help you with your project.

Book Description
The fabulous Morgan Plus 8 was introduced in 1968 and continued to be produced at Morgan’s factory in Malvern for 36 years.

Making a Morgan
Author: Andreas Hensing
Publisher: Veloce Publishing
ISBN: 9781845848736
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In Making a Morgan the reader accompanies a very traditional model, a Morgan Plus 4, through it's build from customer's specification sheet to finished car. A process that, in this instance, will take 17 days. All Morgans can be bespoke, and the unique thing about 'our' car is that it will be built with a narrow frame front end that properly belongs to a 4/4 model. Invisible, except to Morgan cognoscenti, this non-standard front end means that the distance between the headlamps and the radiator grille is somewhat less than on the standard Plus 4 models. Most likely, this customer prefers understatement, but on the other hand didn't hold back when specifying the car's equipment: sports model without spare wheel, a 2-litre engine, polished wire-spoke wheels, door pockets, full leather interior in red, map light, hood, sidescreens, tonneau cover in black mohair, front and rear overriders on the bumpers, sun visors, and a radio with CD player. Oh, yes, before we forget, this car will be painted in the very traditional, dark, Irish Green paint, code L4069. Why there should be so many green Morgans is a mystery to us; after all, customers can choose from a palette of around 40,000 colours! Although the car will be delivered to a London Morgan dealership, what we have here is a model with left-hand drive steering. Most likely, the customer lives on the Continent. He, or she, doesn't know that a book is being written about their Morgan but, of course, the authors will see to it that the car's new owner gets an autographed copy of the book.
