The iconic British car manufacturer Morgan has unveiled a special edition of its Super 3, aptly named the Super 3 Origins.
This collection, comprising nine unique models, pays tribute to the original inspirations that led to the creation of the Super 3. From space rockets to pop art, each model embodies a distinct theme that influenced the design of the Super 3.
Priced from £47,995 (420,332 DKK), these limited editions are now available for order, offering collectors a unique blend of automotive history, art, and innovation.
The Evolution of the Super 3
Launched in 2022, the Super 3 marks a significant milestone in Morgan’s storied history of three-wheeled vehicles, a legacy that dates back to 1909 when the company was founded.
Over the years, the Super 3 has seen numerous enhancements, including a new chain drive mechanism and the development of advanced front fenders.
The Super 3 Origins collection features an array of eclectic versions, each limited to just nine units.
These unique vehicles are distinguished by select colors, intricate paintwork details, custom liveries, bespoke features, and exclusive accessories.
The inspirations behind these models range from the dawn of the jet age to the space race, from pop art to American cruisers, tanks, 1980s technology, and science fiction.
