The Morgan Motor Company has put the finishing touches on the last modern Morgan 3 Wheeler that will roll off the line. It might not be the last one ever, though.
Morgan started out by making three-wheelers before WWI and in 2011, the company decided to bring back the design. Now, a decade later, the car is singing its swan song.
A P101 model, the series was limited to just 33 examples, we’ve known since 2020 that the car’s production would be coming to an end as the regulatory approval for its S&S V-twin engine is set to expire.

The brand‘s best-selling vehicle, more than 2,500 examples of these wood-framed models made over the course of their 10 years of production. Noted more for its sense of fun than its performance, the P101s were available with four special decal packs: The Belly Tank, the Aviator, the Race Car, and the Dazzleship seen in this video.
In its latest Euro 4 spec, it has a curb weight of just 585 kg (1,289 lbs) and its 68 hp (68.9 PS/50 kW) V-twin is able to get to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 7 seconds. The top speed is 115 mph (185 km/h) and an electric variant, the EV3, was previewed but never made it to production.
However, the EV3 may hold a clue to Morgan’s cryptic message at the end of the description for the video embedded below.
Reintroduced in 2011, the 3 Wheeler continued a legacy of three-wheeled Morgan cars that stretched back to our founding year of 1909. Watch this space for what comes next, as the company claims that ‘The Morgan 3 Wheeler will return’…”
Morgan has indicated it’s dedicated to electrification and in March 2020 said that it had “learned a great deal from the EV3 program, and that’s really fueling future project generations and future projects that are in play at the moment.”
Of course, that might not be the only avenue for electrification, so, for now, we will have to simply wait to see what Morgan has planned for the future.
