Welcome to the high-fashion Morgan Super 3
Morgan collaborates with swimwear brand Orlebar Brown for a strange, rag-topped Super 3
This is a
Morgan Super 3, made in collaboration with high-end swimwear brand Orlebar Brown. And it arrives just in time for beach weather... in the southern hemisphere. Which is a rather long way from Morgan’s home in Malvern.
But it’s hard to argue that the Super 3 is particularly far from home for Morgan, given that it’s been in the business of maximum fun for minimal mechanical bits since 1909 – when Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan built a car for himself and experienced its potential first-hand.
And it’s that ‘minimal mechanical bits’ part of the equation that goes a long way to explaining the
four-decade run of Morgan three-wheelers up to the 1950s – and their return back in 2012. Although we’re sure the ‘maximum fun’ part didn’t hurt its cause, either.
You may notice it’s called the Super 3 now, rather than the more prosaic (but Ronseal-test-passing)
3-Wheeler, but the formula is broadly similar – two tyres for steering and one for power. The big change, as you may have noticed, is that the engine is now inside the bonnet, rather than in front of it. What will they think of next?
