A great vintage machine this - it's built from the Entex 1:16 scale kit pretty much out-of-box, except for some engine wiring. I was always fascinated by this car as it had only three wheels, and was powered by a Matchless 1000cc motorcycle engine. The three wheelers were raced and usually won their class. This model is painted dark green with red wire wheels. The seat is covered with a thin "leather" stick-on vinyl that came with the kit. I think this has since been re-released under the brand of "Minicraft"?

Very nice. I used to see one of these racing at the Histric Winton event in the early `80s. It was bright yellow.

Steve I saw one of these Morgans race at the Arthur's Seat Hillclimbs back in the nineties, and it beat cars more powerful than itself? The little old girl still had a sting in it's tail.
