I remember reading several years ago that the three wheel Morgan used basically a Harley Davidson motorcycle engine for a while. They may still do I'm not sure though.
On 'How Do They Do It' on the Science channel they have a segment of where they show how the Morgan is built. Not the three wheeled one but the 4 wheel model that uses a lot of wood in the manufacturing of it. The basic car is built with wood with a metal skin. Pretty neat to see the craftsmanship that goes into a Morgan. If you ever get a chance to watch it please do as its awesome.
