    A strange Morgan. The engine is actually two Scott 2 cylinder, 2 cycle water cooled motorcycle engines. They were connected by chain drive and used the Morgan clutch/3 speed gearbox.

    Interesting little car. I wonder what it did to the weight distribution and handling?A lot like tying 2 GM 6-71 engines together side by side with a single output.

    Well, not prezactly, Bob. 6-71's will run for a long, long time. A Scott will run for a while (until the crank breaks)

    David,
    Yes - it is the same model! Pity that steering/suspension isn't visible at films!

    Would of been nice to see the front end in action,
    Tricycles with 1 wheel at front remind me of the blue fiberglass invalid cars i used to see as a boy,
    They had the villiers 11e 2 stroke moter with electric start,"dynastart"
    They had 2 sets of points, the second used to run the moter backwards for reversing,
    I had one of these moters in my first ever motorcycle and geuss who wired up the wrong set of points to have a 4 gear reversing motorcycle...lol

    The reports said that it was front heavy so didn't handle well but was very smooth running. It was later changed to a Ford engine sticking out front. It has now been restored with the Scott engines. All info from the Mog 3 wheel forum.

    ^^^^^^^ I thought that they made die cast models. ;) Oh! That is actually Brumm and they are just a little bit smaller.

    Hello, Fred!
    Maybe original wasn't so HORRIBLE?
    The shown photo is the act of some modern "artist" that like to add colours to old black & white photos! As original auto isn't saved and there is not one original picture from a period (as I know) I suppose that Sonia Delaunay wasn't so crazy to paint two girls (herself, too), one auto and details of her villa - in the same ugly colours as shown on attached colourized photo? Meaning - her art could look crazy today, but that was the period of art deco and some of her works are magnificent even today. But such colours - hardly possible?

    One guy "reconstructed" his Citroen B2 in such pattern, but with different colours and even different size and position of rectangles...

    Even the most accepted version is that on original photo is shown Citroen, some French experts think that it must be something else: Peugeot, Renault or even less-known Donnet Zedel - all from the same class of French 5 CV automobiles...


    Ciao,
    Zoran
