H F S Morgan’s first three-wheeler of 1910 coincided with an upsurge of interest in cyclecars.

Of simple construction with front-mounted motorcycle engine and two-speed chain transmission, the Morgan was light, fast, and economical to run.

V-twin engines from a wide variety of manufacturers were employed, though those from J A Prestwich predominated.

Competition from small sportscars forced the adoption of a three-speeds-and-reverse gearbox in 1931, the last two-speed model leaving the factory the following year.

A more refined version the F4 with 8hp Ford Model Y four-cylinder power unit appeared soon after, later forming the basis of the first four-wheeled Morgan.

The F4 three-wheeler was last catalogued in 1950.

This Morgan F4 was acquired by the Eric Houseley Collection around 18-20 years ago and used as daily transport in the summer months.

Described as a “good, reliable, fun car”, it is offered without documents.
