Morgan 3-wheelers were manufactured in various forms from the company’s inception in 1910 right through until 1952.

The design incorporated a simple tubular chassis, with patented independent sliding pillar front suspension, and with the rear driving wheel pivoted off the gearbox and suspended on two quarter elliptic leaf springs.

The motor cycle type engine and clutch was bolted to the front of the chassis, and was connected by a drive shaft to the gearbox in front of the rear wheel.
