Parked opposite Newtown Motors. Link
This is a 21st-century version of the first vehicle made by the Morgan Motor Company of Malvern, in 1910. Affectionately (I think!) described by one commentator as looking like a bathtub on wheels and sounding like a lawn mower, the Morgan 3-wheeler harks back to the early days of motoring, with scant regard for many features found in most modern vehicles. However, the 2-litre 85 horsepower engine gives a speedy vehicle as it weighs only 500 kilogrammes. Estimated maximum acceleration is 0 to 60mph in 4½ seconds. Maximum speed is about 115mph.
