There is a good program on utube. “How it’s Made” that shows the Morgan 3 wheeler being built.A decked out 3 wheeler goes for $75,000. That’s why I had to build one ….. Or 2 or 3.I have had a lot of comments made when I drive up in a TD replica ….. But nothing like the 3 wheeler!I plan to do a book on how to build your own 3 wheeler if there…[Read more]

Engine is a Honda CX500 V twin. Ahead of it’s time , it lends itself to the 3 wheeler nicely. I use the rear end to propelThe machine.Have a second one started ….. Oh what fun to drive!

I am a builder …… I will sell the truck in the near future to fund the next project. I have a crazy need to build cars that I can not keep for storage reasons. If you can’t store it inside……you don’t need to keep it. I have recently been working on Morgan 3 wheel replicas that are Honda powered. I plan to peruse that avenue in the…[Read more]

Yes , all MGB running works. Get it worked on at any BMC shop using Moss Motors parts. I like to take old British cars and recycle them into something cool and useful. The kit car bodies lend themselvesTo being made into some totally new.

Sent pictures to Moss ……. Haven’t heard anything yet. I bet that being a kit car based truck they will decline a story.

Just used some 2″ x 3″ box tubing to build frame. Just looked at how original was built. You will have to extend a MG Midget 14″ to work on the TD body. mGB will have to extend 9″ to work. I have a TR6 in the shop now, so it will be a while on the nextTD!

Dash came with kit …….. this was an older (30) years ago kit …… “We don’t need no stinking door habdles on the out side” MGA’s didn’t have them ….. so I elected not to put then on. Keeps it looking smooth on the out side.

Engine , tranny & rear end are from 1971 MG Midget. Just had to build a frame. Midget engine is plenty to tool around the back roads here in central NC. MGB would be closer to the real TD engine. Learned a lot from this build ……. next one should be a lot quicker. By the way, I sold this car to a couple as a birthday present!Thanks for the kind…[Read more]
