wlaidlaw Posted July 31, 2017 Share #10087  Posted July 31, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Stuart,  Any thoughts as to why the 810 and 812, given their rarity and exotic specification, still don't fetch the big money, that say more pedestrian cars like Auburn reach.  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted July 31, 2017 Share #10088  Posted July 31, 2017 Very good, Günter. You're turn.  The Cord was an important and in many ways revolutionary streamlined beauty with front wheel drive and retracting headlights. Wilson is correct - it's a mystery why they are not more highly valued. Cord, Auburn and Duesenberg were all part of Cord's short-lived empire. This particular one is in Franshhoek, South Africa.   Welcome, dear visitor!

Graham (G4FUJ) Posted August 1, 2017 Share #10090  Posted August 1, 2017 Hehe, you show that to a Morgan owner! Morgan 3 Wheeler, S&S Cycles X-Wedge 60 degree V-twin 2.0 litre capacity. External trim - Superdry colour scheme. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 1, 2017 Share #10091  Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Sadly my 2012 Morgan three wheeler is still awaiting delivery of a new Mk.2 chassis from the UK and has been since May. I hate to think what might have happened had I happened to have an accident in this car. The chassis would have probably folded up around me. There was a similar incipient crack on the top main chassis rail on the other side in the mirror location. The cause is a combination of poor quality steel being used for the chassis tubing and poor design, leading to a stress concentration point where the loads from the badly designed front suspension/steering with a lot of kickback, meet the engine vibrations. At least Morgan are paying for the new chassis and the 90-100 hours of labour required for the changeover to be done in France, albeit only after a lot of argument and very grudgingly.  Wilson  PS Graham to be ultra pedantic, my S&S workshop manual says the engine is 56.25º but what is a few degrees between friends Welcome, dear visitor!

Graham (G4FUJ) Posted August 2, 2017 Share #10093 Â Posted August 2, 2017 Hello Wilson,, That's not good, but with the number of early 3W requiring the same "medication" I don't see how MMC could argue, except perhaps by offering to fetch the car back to Malvern for the factory to carry out the rebuild. Are you on the TalkMorgan forum by any chance? There is a section devoted to three wheelers. Â May be worth having the Centa compensator opened up while the car is apart to check the internal bushes/rollers. There have been a number of them failing recently. I hope your car is not off the road too long. And yes, 60 degree was a nominal figure Cheers, Graham (Who doesn't have any suitable photos for guess that car - at present).

And yes, 60 degree was a nominal figure Cheers, Graham (Who doesn't have any suitable photos for guess that car - at present).  Graham,  It was when the engine was out to fit the Centa Compensator, that the cracks were found. I had been hearing horrible noises for well over a year but until this spring, we had no local Morgan service agency. The previous people were hopeless and had effectively given up working on Morgans in 2015. I and a couple of other Morgan owners found a new suitable garage, RD Racing at the Paul Ricard circuit, who restore and rebody classic racing cars, e.g. lightweight E-types and Porsche 550 Spyders. We arranged for the main dealer Marcassus Sport to take them on as service agents with Morgan's approval. Otherwise it is a 1000km+ round trip to see Marcassus, the far side of Toulouse. The difficulties with Morgan were over where the chassis replacement should be done and if it were to be in the UK, who would pay for the two way transport. Morgan had completely forgotten that RD Racing had been appointed service agents. Luckily they have seen sense and are sending the chassis out to France at some point but via Marcassus not direct to RD Racing for reasons that totally escape me.  I recall the program where John Harvey-Jones, the ex-CEO of ICI, looked at Morgan's way of doing business and was tearing his hair out in frustration (not that he had much if I recall correctly). I have been dealing with Morgan since 1962, when I had a 1930 Aero Blackburne engined Aero SS three wheeler. They don't seem to have become much better since then.  Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham (G4FUJ) Posted August 3, 2017 Share #10097 Â Posted August 3, 2017 Noted Wilson, I have seen other comments about the lack of agents / servicing in southern France (and other locations). Not an easy situation and MMC regularly do not help. Getting a bit off topic, so I will not relate stories from the antipodes...
