Morgan replica three wheelers,aero cycle cars,

Aero Cycle Cars manufactures the Aero Merlin, Beetleback and Barrelback model The Aero Cycle Car is a classic replica of the Morgan three wheeler. Aero Cycle Cars use Moto Guzzi engines, in a space frame chassis clad in aluminium. Aero Cycle Cars are uniquely handmade three wheelers recreating the flair and nostalgia of the 1930s.

The Aero Merlin is powered by

850/950/1064cc engines and we can build you a complete car in turn-key guise, fully tested and registered, or simply a rolling chassis...or you build it yourself. If you constructed airfix kits or used Meccano as a child (some of us still do both)...you can build one of these.

Why Aero Merlin? Not only did Morgan themselves call one of their own models "The Aero", but I decided long ago that the three wheeler fits in with my aviation interests in general, and my interest in all aeroplanes powered by the Rolls Royce Merlin engine. The company logo reflects Merlin the bird after which the Merlin engine was named of course, and Merlin, the "Arthurian" wizard.

You will receive the following, all fully fitted:
1) Epoxy powder coated chassis (beetle or barrelback) fitted with all bonded/riveted/bolted aluminium panels The main side panels will be fitted by cleko pins enabling you to remove/re-fit for additional build access. You will need to bond and rivet these side panels on eventually yourself.
2) All grp panels fitted (easily removable).
3) Bonnet panels with a total of 96 louvres, pre-formed and fitted, complete with full length stainless steel hinge.
4) All stainless steel brake lines fully fitted, including pedal box.
