The Morgan Super 3 is an solely impractical a few-wheeler built for driving satisfaction alternatively than outings to the grocery shop. That is unless of course you like wearing goggles to Kroger and only acquiring lunch.

Roof, windshield, doors. Nope, nope and nope. The small torpedo-formed car has seating for two passengers who are little and limber more than enough to clamber aboard.
