If you have yet to find that perfect present the craftsmen at the Morgan Motor Company might have just what you are looking for – the smallest Morgan ever.
Morgan Motorcars
In 1909, HFS Morgan designed and built the first Morgan 3 wheeler. Today, Morgans are still hand built in Malvern Link, Worcestershire with body substructures made of ash and chassis and bodies fabricated of metal (aluminum for the Aero 8).
Meets U.S. Emissions Standards
To help celebrate the anniversary of the first iconic 3-wheeler, the Morgan factory is introducing a limited run of 500 Centenary pedal cars. These 2/3 scale vehicles will be built alongside regular production Morgans and will share the same materials as their larger siblings – lightweight aluminum bodies with hand-formed louvers, tubular chassis and an imitation cast V-twin engine mounted forward of the front axle.
Morgan likens the 3-speed crank pedal cars to a recumbent bicycle and promises “exciting performance with low effort.” All Supersport Juniors (the official name) will come equipped with working lights and hand stitched adjustable seating.
August Production
The cost of the junior Morgan is £2,150 ($3,137.00 at today’s exchange rate) with the only option being a custom color/leather interior option for an additional £250.00 ($365.50). Once Morgan receives 200 deposits, production will be scheduled – which at this point is planned for August of 2009. But lest you think this is your chance to enjoy a Morgan on the cheap, the company has made it clear that the Supersport Junior is “suitable for 6 – 13 year olds.”
