Title: Three wheels on my wagon
Post by: Nickbat on 01 March 2011, 20:07:46: "The Worcestershire-based Morgan Motor Company has launched a new three-wheeler sports car..."

I reckon that the choice of name for the vehicle was crucial to their marketing strategy. Indeed, I bet that it took a lot of meetings, discussion and focus group opinion.

Well, I can now reveal the result:

"The new car is called the Morgan 3 Wheeler."

Pure class. ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

I did get distracted during the news item on TG on Sunday ( >:(), so I must have missed it.

Apologies. :-[

As an aside, though Steve, Brian Clutterbuck, chairman of the Three Wheeler Club, "hopes the new design will appeal to a younger generation of traditional car lovers."

So when are you ordering yours, mate? ;) :P

However...

Head of Morgan Motors, Charles Morgan, said the idea was partly inspired by the rising costs of running a car.

.. so paying 25K :o for a bathtub with a bike engine on the front will help? :-/
