The Morgan Motor Company was founded in 1910 with the specific aim of building three-wheeled “cycle cars”. With a front-mounted engine powering the single rear wheel, they quickly became known for manufacturing well-designed and well-built vehicles, proving very capable in the racing world.

Whilst early Morgan three-wheelers were typically powered by an air-cooled V-twin motorcycle engine, the F series - introduced in 1933 at the Olympia Motor Cycle Show - was a comprehensively improved three-wheeler with a brand new pressed steel chassis, a revised body and a more powerful in line 4-cylinder, water-cooled sidevalve engine from the Ford Model Y. The F Sports (or Super) - as here – followed for the 1936 season, with a 2-seater body and optional larger 1172 cc (10hp) engine, giving more sprightly performance.

Whilst we know very little of this Morgans’ early history, we do know that following its initial registration in December 1935, it featured as the roadtest model used in Motor Cycling magazine in January 1936. Described as “A Fast and Comfortable Sports Three-wheeler”, the vehicle achieved a top speed of 74mph on test.

The last owner acquired this vehicle in 1997 since which time, it has been used regularly and enthusiast maintained in very good order (holding an annual MOT certificate up to 2012).
