P101 marks the end of the Morgan 3 Wheeler

Morgan has confirmed that production of the current-generation 3 Wheeler will cease next year. To commemorate its demise, a limited edition called P101 has been created. 101 was the number of the project responsible for the reintroduction of a three-wheeled model over a decade ago, so the name is certainly apt.

The P101 – which is available with either Deep Black or Satin White Silver paintwork – boasts several unique features. Among them are a pair of auxiliary spot lamps, straight-cut ceramic-coated exhaust pipes (black on one side, white on the other), additional louvres, and low-drag body-coloured Aero-disc wheels.

Also fitted is a lightweight tonneau cover over the passenger seat. Being made from composite resin, this component is both naturally golden and translucent.

Morgan has designed a selection of four graphics packs to complete the P101’s special look: ‘Aviator’ is inspired by RAF aeroplanes of World War II, ‘Belly Tank’ pays homage to the home-made drop-tank-based cars first seen in the late 1940s at the Bonneville Salt Flats, ‘Dazzleship’ (shown in the images) evokes the conspicuous camouflage used on many ships and some aircraft during World War I, and ‘Race Car’ recalls the brand’s motorsport history.

Just 33 examples of the P101 are going to be built, and all have already been allocated to dealers in the UK, Europe and the USA.

Prices start from £45,000 (roughly €50,400 or US$59,800 at current exchange rates) excluding local taxes and on-the-road costs.

The 3 Wheeler story isn’t over though, because a completely new version is due to be launched sometime after 2021.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
