My father, Vic Hyde owned this trike and climbed Pikes Peek around 1971 in it. As he passed away 12 yrs ago. I'm still trying to get documents belonging to certian vehicles he owned into the hands of those vehicles curent owners. He shipped FFK 393 to the US where it gave him great pleasure.

I owned a Morgan three wheeler barrel back, with a Matchless Air cooled V engine, registration BUA 597, around 1960. I was an engineering apprentice with Handley Page (Reading) at that time. Unfortunately I suffered a phosphor Bronze worm wheel failure and it was off the road until I could locate a new part. Being poor at that time I could not afford to keep the Morgan and also purchase additional daily transport and so sold it for the princely sum of £85. I have always regretted it and perhaps one day will own another Morgan although a three wheeler would be very difficult to find now. The purpose of my e-mail is to enquire whether BUA597 is still around, and if not what happened to it. It would be great to see it again and of course if it came up for sale. In addition I do have a couple of parts which I believe are parts for a three wheeler and I will post a picture of them in a seperate posting. I do not want any money for them but would just like to know that they had been of use to someone. Best Regards Tony Wickens Tony Wickens [tony@alwint.com]

Looking at your excellent website, (never appreciated so many different engines were used), I was wondering if any of your members knows of the whereabouts of a 1935 F2 three wheeler Registration number DLE 82 which was owned by my brother Robert Slade in the early 1960s. It is not listed on the RAC free web-site of DVLA numbers. It was red when bought from F W Douglas in Ealing North London, but was re-painted BRG & then white when last seen by me 40 years ago ! It had the E93 Ford 8 side valve engine and I remember spending many happy hours replacing the main drive shaft between the engine & gearbox because the clutch splines had been machined away by the centre-plate. It used to wear away with predictable reliability. Quite embarrassing to find yourself suddenly drive-less in the middle of rush hour traffic ! I also recall forgetting to do up the strap and the bonnet flying up obscuring the view ahead !! This apart, the handling was most impressive. It was sold on and replaced by a V8 Allard K2 talk about chalk & cheese. Is ‘Wells Fargo’ still going strong ? Best wishes to all members - happy motoring. Edward Slade Christchurch Dorset.

Subject: Super Sports Morgan CWP 173
I'm delighted to come across such a comprehensive website dedicated to the Morgan and was particularly fascinated to see pictures and reviews of a car I used to own with the registration CWP173. I bought this water cooled 990cc Matchless powered Super Sports Morgan in about 1963 and used it regularly until the 28th July 1966 when we both failed to negotiate Kings Corner on the approach to Dulverton in Somerset. This spill unfortunately left quite a few dents. I clearly remember the next meeting of the Morgan club at Tooley Street in London where various films, showing this car in happier days, were being screened - I was relegated to the dog house for some time. I'm relieved to see from some recent publications that CWP 173 is looking in fine form again. In the 60's, driving a Morgan sometimes attracted the attention of enthusiast pedestrians who would hail me, or get into conversation at a garage, and ask if I would like to have (yes have for free!) various ancient vehicles and motorcycles they'd planned to restore but somehow never got round to, or had restored and perhaps lost interest. At one time I had several very interesting vehicles acquired this way, as well as motorcycles, including a Brough, some KSS Velocettes and an Indian - does this sort of thing still happen!? I have also attached some pictures of a three-wheeler van I bought in London. I can't remember what make it was but it did have an Austin four-cylinder engine. It was a somewhat perilous vehicle to drive but we travelled several thousand miles together, most of them at about twenty-five miles an hour! When I moved back to London, this van and a host of other ancient vehicles were dispatched to a collector on a low loader, though the Indian went to somebody by the name of Eddy, who worked for F.H.Douglass in London (that was about 1967 when Douglass' traded in real Morgans). I have kept a couple of old and much thumbed Morgan brochures, and for some reason there still lurks a log book belonging to a 1936 Matchless powered Brough Superior, registration GV 4483, engine number BS/X4-4360, Frame number M8/1638, capacity 990cc. I'd love to hear from anybody knowing the whereabouts of any of these vehicles. Many thanks for creating such an interesting and easily navigable website. Best wishes Christopher Challen [chrischallen@metronet.co.uk]

Just wanted to say that every time I look at your site it just gets better and better . The presentation and editing is right on and it is the best Morgan Three-Wheeler site in the universe. My Compliments, Sincerely, John H. Sheally II [jsheally@mindspring.com]
Thanks John for the compliments! For those not so familiar with the big Morgan Community: John H. Sheally II made a famous run in a 1935 MX-4 Barrelback Super Sports by driving 3000+ miles from Virginia Beach to Los Angeles in less than 11 days. As a professional photojournalist he wrote a book on Morgans called "Morgans, Pride of the British" in which he also covered his run across the USA. In 1995 the Brumm Ltd from Italy used John's Super Sports MX-4 as source for a 1:43 scale model in an individually numbered limited edition of 7500. The model called "Across the USA in THAT?" is made from diecast metal with plastic trim accessories. Gerhard, webmaster of http://www.morgan3w.de [gk@morgan3w.de] John H.

Subject: Information on Aero RR3564
I have a photo of my late father sitting at the wheel of an Anzani powered Aero, taken I suppose in the 1930's. My best interpretation of the registration number is RR3564 (though the last two digits, especially the last, are a little indistinct). Does anyone have any history of this particular machine? If so, I'd love to hear it. Ian Collingwood [i.r.collingwood@btinternet.com]

I am trying to find out the previous history of a 1918 Grand Prix Morgan, registration CY3311, which was owned by my father until his recent death. Any information would be much appreciated: the earliest owner listed in the logbook was David Howell, who bought the car in 1965. Stuart Weeks [s.d.weeks@durham.ac.uk]

We recently bought a very nicely restored 1936 Super Sports from Bert Varady of Missouri. I'd like to find more about its history. UK registration was RV 9178. This car was owned by Ian Bland in the early 1970's, and sold to Ed Temple of Houston, TX in the late 70's. History before Ian's ownership would be much appreciated.

Subject: Where is F Super AHG 277
Where is AHG 277 I would dearly love to see the car again. I sold this car many years ago. It was brown with cream wheels and had an unsual access to the rear wheel. There were hinges at the bottom of the doors which allowed the whole of the rear end to be hinged up for access to the rear wheel gear box etc. It did not detract from the appearance of the car and a very good modification.

Subject: Morgan 3 wheeler Reg. No. CMF 197
Back in the 50's I was the very proud owner of a 1935 red Morgan SS 3 wheeler, barrelback, Reg. No. CMF 197 for some 2 years, in the London area. Unfortunately, my then wife's "tummy bump" forced it's sale. Now some 50 years and 17 vehicles later, I can safely say I have never enjoyed any vehicle as much. Would anybody know if that lovely beast is still exists? I would be grateful for any news. Thank you. Tony Elliott [jeepster1@ntlworld.com]

Subject: Brake drums for Morgan
I got some very interesting Emails from Tony Quinn (UK) regarding brake drums to use with Morris 8 hydraulic brakes in a Morgan 3-wheeler. Tony gave me the permission to publish it here. Thanks! Gerhard Kiessling [gk@morgan3w.de]
Dear Gerhard At long last I have some news. There seem to be two choices for 8 inch cast iron brake drums to use with Morris 8 hydraulic brakes. As you know the original Morris 8 drums are steel and don't give such good braking as cast iron. Having said that, I used the original steel drums on both an F4 and an MX4 Sports that I owned in the 1970s and found the brakes OK for all road use, hillclimbs and a Silverstone half hour trial. Anyway, you can use either Hillman Avenger rear drums or Vauxhall Viva HA and HB rear drums. Both are available new from Speedy Spares Ltd of 25 old Shoreham Street, Portslade, Sussex, BN41 1SP. Tel (44) 1273 412764. They have an excellent Internet site at http://www.speedyspares.co.uk, and it includes an on-line catalogue. The Avenger drums are about £20 each, but are a bit too wide at 1.75" and therefore unnecessarily heavy. The Viva drums are £29.50 each. The Viva drum is 1.5" wide and was recommended to me, as was the supplier, by Sue and George Darbyshire who race a very fast F4 in the Morgan Motor Co/Morgan Three Wheeler Club Challenge series. Both prices are plus VAT and postage. As the Morris 8 shoe is only 1.125" wide, I have ordered two Viva drums. They are wider than necessary when using Morris 8 brakes, so I have had 5mm machined off the outer edge. Also, they have a rather thin wall thickness where they bolt on to the hub, so on the advice of George Darbyshire I have a 5mm alloy plate sandwiching it to the hub to spread the load.

Subject: Cure for hydrualic brake problems (Pulling to one side)
Hi Last month, I had a curious problem with my recently acquired 1937 F2. On braking, it showed a worrying tendancy to swerve into the middle of of the road - not a pleasurable experience. I returned home, and set about finding the cause. At first, I thought that as Cissy (SSY 485) had been in storage for a few years the most likely explanation would be a seized wheel cylinder (Cissy has Morris 1000 drums & front backplates) I found a wheel cylinder to be stuck - Problem solved I thought.... The test run showed that the car still pulled to one side... I decided to change all four cylinders and brake shoes... When I dismantled the N/S brake - I noticed something odd about the shoes - they were scuffed across the shoe rather than along it. This led me to the conclusion that the back plate was moving. Indeed what had happened was that when the last owner had fitted the brakes - he had brazed a washer in so that the spindle would fit through - on tear down I discovered that this disc was now loose which allowed the backplate to move and cause the brake to become ineffective. Therefore 1) If you have a car which pulls to one side this may be a causal factor 2) Just because you want to enjoy your car - check everything you can think of - not just what you assume it to be, when attempting to solve a problem IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!

Subject: Where is F Super FFK 393?
My father, Vic Hyde, owned this trike. I believe it was one of the last trikes out of the factory. He packed a tent and drove it across the US climbing Pikes Peak along the way. I think he sold it in the early 80's. Amongst his archives I found FFK 393's British registration booklet with all the previous owners listed within, also, papers and bills from when he shipped it to the US from the UK. I've got a nice old raised number plate for the front of the trike too. Can anyone help me get this stuff back with it's machine? Paul Massnick [randa@lakenet.com]

Hello there. I'm Jerry Larke and I am writing this via my daughter's e-mail and Internet account. I own the Clive Lones Brooklands Aero (1929) Morgan which held 37 World and class records at Brooklands. It is still running very well and is in good shape and still very exciting and nostalgic to drive! It is used at many events during the year including the Brooklands reunion. I am also interested in Classic Motorcycle racing. Anyone interested in knowing more about the car, please contact me via this e-mail address: annalarke@gmail.com Look forward to hearing from you all! Kind regards, Jerry Larke [annalarke@gmail.com]
Jerry just gave me some beautiful photos of his car. You may see the pictures on my pages under: Photos / Photo Album No 4. Gerhard Kiessling [gk@morgan3w.de]
