AVWWG - Morgan Motor Company launches final run of P101 limited-edition three-wheeler


Morgan Motor Company is known for their sports cars with wood chassis bits and their original vehicle, the three-wheeler. But the vehicle seen here, the P101, marks the end of an era. Morgan is going to halt production of it's three-wheeler in 2021. The current three-wheeler was updated in 2011. The P101 will be available with four distinct packages, the Belly Tank, The Dazzleship (below), the Aviator, and the Race Car each with their own graphics package that attaches to the Deep Black or Satin White Silver painted body. So why is this Another Vehicle We Won't Get (AVWWG) you ask? Well firstly there isn't much call for three-wheel vehicles in the US. Secondly there is the whole regulations and crash testing thing and thirdly Morgan is only going to make 33 examples which appear to be spoken for. Also, the P101 would set US owners back about $70k with current exchange rates, etc. so there's that. I could see a very few collectors wanting to add this special, limited-edition model that marks the end of three-wheeler production to their respective garages. Since Morgan is to continue sports car production, it will be interesting to see how the boutique automaker will handle the upcoming ICE ban in Europe and the UK. Morgan's sports cars use running gear sourced from various other companies, like BMW, so sourcing EV parts should be relatively easy. Just wanted to let you know that the automotive world was much more than just GM, Ford, Toyota, and now Tesla. Check out the media release and video after the jump. Enjoy!
