2014 Morgan 3 Wheeler | Sunderland, Tyne & Wear

The Morgan 3 Wheeler is a modern take on the company's early cyclecars: two exposed front wheels, an open cockpit and a V-twin engine mounted out front for everyone to see. It weighs about half a tonne, which gives it a lively, direct feel. Top Gear named it Not-A-Car of the Year in 2011. This example is finished in green with a black interior, a sober pairing that lets the exposed engine and the open lines stand out. It has a 2.0-litre engine and seats two in a low cockpit with no roof, so driver and passenger are fully in view. For photography, fashion and editorial work, the engine and three-wheel layout give a strong subject from every angle. At events and in music videos or advertising, the unusual shape draws the eye without props. Film and TV productions can use the cyclecar form for period-flavoured scenes. A wedding arrival or a personal day out in an open car is just as easy to picture. The car is based in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear.
