    Chris's book is well worth acquiring. Apart from a small pamphlet publication a few years back i would imagine its the only book on the topic. I have been building my own version of a Montier T roadster for 10 years or more - sadly it keeps getting sidelined as other builds take my interest.

We are very proud to be able to offer this wonderful car to market, it has been in the same family ownership since 1959, yes that's over sixty years of care and attention from possibly one of the most knowledgeable of all Morgan owners. It has an 1100cc Water Cooled Dog eared JAP engine that is in beautiful running condition, the body retains its original Ash and steel body panels along with all of the original chassis, bevel box and running gear. They really do not come much more correct and usable than this one. Priced at £45,000 with this history and fantastic patina, its hard to beat. Export no problem.

    Wow. The '28 Aero has always be a favorite of Morganeers. Such a lovely style body.
    That body was replaced in '33? by the Sports 2 seater as shown in my avatar.

    Is the Morgan passing or being passed?

    Messerschmitt KR200-Successor 196cc 1957
    This is what Messerschmitt and Fritz Fend had in mind as successor of the KR-200 later FMR-200 cabin scooter. This vehicle was designed and built in 1957. It also had three wheels and a side-hinged plexiglas dome, but then, according to the retro-future car style, with tailfins and narrow sidepods. The front had a fake air intake like a jet nozzle. The small front fenders were more profiled and the bodywork completed with a chrome strip. Again a 191cc single-cylinder two-stroke engine was mounted in the rear.
    Since the business was worse overall, the project was not pursued. It remained a prototype.

    Great! I have always loved the streamlined fuel tank on early cars; such a joke.

    That's one amazing car. More fun than an Model T with a blown Hemi in it. Makes every hair stand up just hearing it.

    When you sit in this Amilcar, your rear end is directly over chains and sprockets spinning at high speed and driven by a powerful v8, eh, what could go wrong?

    ...good point, Fred!
    Only, no need for fear, I would prefer such or any other Amilcar than any of the "modern" automobiles! Beside my love - Amilcar never had chains and sprockets at their rear end. All of the G.N. had sprockets and chains as final transmission, the same as many other cyclecars... Then, the the early models of Fraser-Nash, had that, too... Three-wheeler Morgans had some chain from the middle to the rear wheel?
    Nothing to fear - some wooden or aluminium plate for the seat would be enough...

    Today, some of the designers, constructors, drivers and racers of CycleKarts - do not have fear of chains and sprockets installed under the lower parts of thier body... Quite in a style of some British classic specials...

    The pre 1931 Morgans had 2 chains. One on each side of the rear wheel with different ratios. The chains were of equal length so you could swap them when the high gear one got worn and stretched.
    Love the cyclekarts!!!
    Bob, great pix of the JAP, my favorite car; just fabulous.
