. Morgans were nice. With a V-twin. The e-Morgan just doesn't ring any bells for me.

I DROVE A 1947 MORGAN F-SERIES TRIKE A FEW YEARS AGO .
I THOUGHT IS WAS A GREAT LITTLE MACHINE WITHOUT THE V-TWIN

That 3rd headlight that up in what would be the grill just looks out of place.
It should either have another one to balance it out, or mount it more towards center.
But keeping with tradition; it does have the wire wheels (those wheels are such a joy to clean) NOT!!

That's the EU version. Remember the US regulations I posted about? Well, Morgan never did get an exemption.
The prototype version with the light to the right of center is also in violation of the US federal regulations.
Because of all the problems the NHTSA was, and still is, giving Morgan about their other models...

Yes, there is a second hole all ready for the second light.

Making the lights equally balanced and horizontally disposed along the centerline.
With the distance between those two lights no more than 200mm (8 inches).
Which brings the vehicle into compliance with the S10.17 regulations.

Here's the production two-seater Morgan EV3 with a legal US headlamp configuration.

I AGREE AND APPARENTLY SO DOES MORGAN .
HERE IS ANOTHER VERSION THAT ADDRESSES BOTH ISSUES .

Soon as I opened this page and saw these latest version; all I could picture is cartoon character; like Mr. Frog

Looks like they also did a major change to the windscreen; lots taller.
I kind of like the solid wheels; still with a single knock-off
