Book Description
The first Morgan era was of course the age of the Three-wheeler. HFS Morgan designed a fun car, the Morgan Runabout, for people with little money but a sense of adventure. He had a huge business success and in the 1920s the Morgan factory in Malvern was making 2500-3000 cars a year with a smaller number being built in France under the Darmont Morgan brand. Nevertheless each year production was always sold out in advance as customers were desperate for small cars. The Morgan was popular because it was one of the best and most reliable light cars you could buy. Stripped down a Morgan Three-wheeler also made a successful racing car. In 1913 a Morgan won the French Cyclecar Grand Prix and at Brooklands in the 1920s the JAP V twin engined Morgans were as fast as a Blower Bentley, completing a lap of the banked circuit at an average speed of over 100mph. Numerous records were broken in Morgan Three-wheelers, notably by Gwenda Stewart at Brooklands and Monthlery. In spite of this success on the racetracks, during the 1930s Morgan Three-wheeler sales fell off a cliff. By 1935 there were only 300 orders for the cars. The reason for this was the arrival of mass produced cars from Ford, Morris and Austin costing a similar price but offering more features for the money. All three-wheelers are reported on including the Grand Prix and F models. Also four-wheelers - the 4/4, Plus 4, Plus 4 Plus, Plus 8, Roadster, Aero 8, AeroMax, Aero America and the futuristic LIFECar. A total of 840 illustrated pages with 314 full colour. Hard Cover with genuine leather.

Book Description
For owners and would-be owners of three-wheeled Morgans, Ken Hill has created an invaluable ‘Bible’ which is absolutely packed with genuinely useful information. Ken sets the stage by detailing the history of the Morgan motor company, describes the marque’s motorsport record and then, with great thoroughness, chronicles the evolution of all three-wheeler models since 1910. Next comes practical advice on maintenance and repair – advice based on expert information produced when the three-wheelers were still in production. Part of the ‘Morgan experience’ is the extraordinary social scene that embraces the marque on a worldwide basis, so Ken devotes a whole chapter to Morgan clubs and their activities. The last part of the book is a series of appendices comprised of original specification, production changes, wiring diagrams, technical data sheets, details of specialists, distributors and manufacturers, details of Morgan miniature models and a record of factory sales literature. Altogether, this work is a unique source book of essential information for all Morgan three-wheeler owners and enthusiasts. The two other books in this series: Completely Morgan - Four-wheelers 1936-1968, and Completely Morgan – Four-wheelers 1968-1995, are also being reissued as part of Veloce’s Classic Reprint series.
