3 Wheeling with British style and American iron

In the case of this Morgan 3 Wheeler less is more. Its pre-war cockpit fighter styling and baritone soundtrack makes it one of my favorite automobiles.

Even with only 115 hp from a Harley-Davidson V-Twin engine, this 1,100 lbs roadster scoots to 60mph from 0 in around 4.5 seconds.

Listen to the mechanical delight the little Morgan bellows as it motors through the countryside. You can see more of it in this gallery.

Don't bite into the "water moccasin" id.  I'm not sure I would just have waited that long for it fall off.
