1938 Morgan 3-wheeler Super Sports rolling chassis project coming up.
It has the original log book and an old Blue V5 registration document.
50 pictures on the website.
Available with the fitted SV 990cc Matchless MX engine, or without.
Build your own body type (barrel back or beetle back) as it only comes with the original bonnet and rear cover.

See the description and pics here: https://thetimingchest.com/product/morgan-super-sports-3-wheeler-project-with-matchless-water-cooled-mx-engine/

Talk to me about the price as you can buy it without the engine if preferred.

Early 3 Jet brass Binks carb with a fl**ge mount.
Does anyone know which motorcycles would use a lightweight Binks 3 jet with 1.5" between the studs?

Coming up for sale. Ideal engine for a cycle car project or the right Morgan three wheeler.

Early water cooled J*P 50 degree twin with good matching cases, decent barrels and all of the contents of the timing chest. It has the crank, con-rods and two pistons. Although, the big end and gudgeon pins will need replacing at the least.

We are still comparing notes regarding the date of this engine as the early numbers didn't really make a lot of sense (when compared to 1920 onwards).

It's either the 980cc engine that was offered between 1912-1919. If that's the case, then it would suit a Grand Prix Morgan.

Or, it's a K-series (1918-1927). In this case, it also suits a Morgan.

Both engine types had a STD bore of 85.7, which matches this engine.

The stamped number is 29/7/###X (The sequential number is available to anyone who is interested enough to buy the engine).

Loads more pictures available and the advert will be on the web site in a couple of days.
