I saw one for the first time today. Was a lot nicer looking than I thought it would. Especially the bonnet detail with those scoops.

Oh and it looked a fair bit wider than I expected

Not sure the Hovis message on the back of the lorry in front applies to the Tree Pin Plug Robin i saw this morning - Chap must be giving the car a shake down before he set's of on his hoildays - Towbar and roof rack attached.

 

[DaveDreads]

That really is rare, i've never even heard of a Robin Phoenix, probably still worthless though.

Wonder what luxuries the LX model had

I saw a 3 wheel Morgan of some sort on the way to work this morning. Old boy driving it looked like a WW2 bomber pilot. Full leathers, leather helmet and leather rimmed glasses. I’d be shitting myself driving it in traffic. Poor f**k was wedged between a van and greggs wagon, not sure either even knew he was there.

Couldn’t get a pic cuz driving but looked a lot like this

 

[CrippsCorner]

This strange old thing at work today...

 

[R3k1355]

Looks like a cheapo beach buggy, those rear lights are gopping.

I was at the Morgan factory the other week and they had all their cars on show. They are some serious bits of kit these three wheelers. Look really well made too.

 

[Steve1986]

The wheels are a bit Max Power but apart from that it's in great condition

I was surprised. I just spotted some pop up lights from miles away and thought it'd probably be worth a photo, then it got closer and I said the exact same thing you did

 

[terryc101]

Few from the local airfield meet.
