Auto Loud - November 2010

Making Plans for Nigel - Part 2

November 21st 2010 12:03
Nigel the Mini


UPDATE ON NIGEL!

Nigel has now arrived in the country and he is in the hands of the compliancing workshop. Only a minor amount of work was needed on the car to bring him up to standard so that was good news.

The whole process has been a long one and Autoloud is still a week or two away from actually driving him!


A cache of parts has been assembled form all points of the globe (thank you eBay!) at a substantiall reduced price over locally sourced parts. A Union Jack for the roof is the major item and a decent CD/MP3 compatible sound box will be fitted inside.

More updates to follow!

Morgan three wheeler exhumed!

November 21st 2010 11:45
Everything old is new again at Morgan.

Morgan three wheeler


The one family owner, Malvern based car company famous for the seemingly ageless range of Morgan sports and grand tourers has revealed plans to bring their historic three wheeler cyclecar back to life.

Entering production in the early 1930's and Last seen leaving the bottom shed at Malvern in 1952 the latest version is to be powered by a 1500cc (or 96 cubic inch for Hogsters) Harley Davidson engine, so the three wheeler will combine ageless classic looks with modern mechanicals. The best part is that with a weight of under 500kg the Morgan will technically be a motorbike in the eyes of the bureaucrats rather than a car!


Considering Morgan’s recent green credentials perhaps a small turbo diesel with a ton of torque should be a future consideration – that would be a pocket rocket!

Strictly a two seater, the classic Morgan looks like the factory dusted off the original plans from the 1930’s and decided not to change a thing – not a bad choice in Autoloud’s estimation.
