Once upon a time, I watched an episode of Top Gear test three track-day cars. Richard Hammond turned up in a Morgan 3-Wheeler. I had never seen or heard of the 3-Wheeler before, but I immediately developed an intense need to have one. This book describes my journey.his book is not a set of plans to build your own 3-Wheeler. A set of plans would require you to follow my build exactly, make the same compromises I made, and want exactly what I came up with. This book is, instead, a documentation of the process I went through to build my own 3-Wheeler. I encountered many new problems to solve in building my 3-Wheeler and I hope an examination of how I solved those problems will help you with your project.

In the early years of the 21st century, the Morgan Motor Company decided to return to the configuration of its origins, with a new 3 Wheeler. One reason for this decision was that it could no longer sell its four-wheelers in the USA, due to the costs of meeting increasingly restrictive legislation on emissions and accident safety becoming prohibitive for a small manufacturer. The 3 Wheeler, classed as a motorcycle, bypasses these complex requirements. By coincidence, an American three-wheeler, the Liberty Ace (itself a modernized recreation of the V-Twin Morgan Super Sports of the 1930s) was selected as the starting point. Morgan then designed and engineered the new model in an astonishingly short period. The management thought it might sell a few hundred 3 Wheelers; however, orders flooded in after its launch at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, leading to considerable complications. This is the story of how all that happened and how an eccentric sports car with an American engine and a Japanese gearbox is, nevertheless, quintessentially English.

Read Matthew Biberman's posts on the Penguin Blog. "If you believe it is possible to fall in love with a motorcycle, you will love this book." -Jay Leno When Big Sid had a heart attack and gave up the will to live, his son Matthew Biberman panicked. Impulsively, Matthew promised his father that they would build a Vincati together. This fusion of two legendary motorcycles, the Vincent Black Shadow and the Ducati GT, a Vincati was considered near-impossible to build. But if anyone could do it, Matthew knew his father could. Big Sid was the mechanic to see about repairing Vincents for nearly sixty years. But now, Sid was old, busted up and broke. Matthew, despite sharing his dad's passion, had become a Shakespearean scholar. The two men hadn't spoken in years-but called a truce to attempt a shared dream. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance meets Shop Class as Soulcraft, in this heartfelt memoir that shows how two very different men built a legendary motorcycle, and along the way, discovered what it means to be father and son.

The fabulous Morgan Plus 8 was introduced in 1968 and continued to be produced at Morgan’s factory in Malvern for 36 years. Assembled by hand using traditional methods, the Plus 8 had a uniquely nostalgic flavor and was, in many ways, the last of the traditional ‘hairy-chested’ British sports cars, combining old-fashioned styling with prodigious power. This beautifully produced book, chronicling the complete story of the Plus 8, will appeal to all sports car fans as well as to Morgan owners and enthusiasts.
