Summary

[edit]
Description

The early Morgan cars, built between 1911 and 1939, were 3 wheelers, and are therefore considered to be cyclecars. They avoided the British tax on cars by being classified as motorcycles These models used air-cooled or liquid-cooled variations of motorcycle engines. The engine was placed ahead of the axis of the front wheels in a chassis made of steel tubes brazed into cast lugs. Morgan established its reputation via competition such as winning the 1913 Cyclecar Grand Prix at Amiens in France. This became the basis for the 'Grand Prix' model of 1913 to 1926, from which evolved the 'Aero', and 'Sports' models
