Up and over the Hardknott Pass in England's Lake District in a red Morgan Three Wheeler. Typical Lake District sunshine of course.

I did this drive myself in a three-wheeler, 45 years ago, but my three-wheeler was a less-than-brilliant Reliant Regal with a puny 700cc 30bhp engine. Had to stay in 1st gear most of the way and my passenger had to keep hold of the gear shift and force it to stay in position as otherwise it just kept jumping out of gear because of the strain of coping with the gradient. Not something I will ever forget!

I love the "chuff-chuff" sound it makes when you take your foot off the throttle. What a beautiful sounding engine!

1987, I was an exchange soldier from Australia with 120 other Aussie soldiers. We split up into 3 groups and my group went to the Lakes District, and we went over Hardknott pass, I still remember seeing the outline of the Roman Fort. It was absolutely brilliant. I only just came across this video because I love the Morgan cars, and dream of owning a three wheeler, but couldn’t believe it was going over the Pass.

This took me back to the 1960s when a pal of those days had a 3-wheeler Morgan (Matchless) and used to wear goggles and a flying helmet when driving it. I fondly recall us being stopped at lights in Trafalgar Square and being accosted by an excited young American voice "Hey, is THAT a Morgan?!" Not to mention roaring around our patch that took in the Isle of Dogs on what was then docklands - with the local yobs watching in gawking disbelief. Happy days!

One of my earliest memories is of my Dad driving over this pass with me and Mum in a 1964 Hillman Super Minx. It got over but he was annoyed because at one part he had to pull to the side to let a car past and he scraped his Sill on a boulder. I would love to have a go myself in a classic just to see how I could do. :)

Several times there the sheer steepness tried to stop the car. How did that feel not being able to get round one of those steep uphill corners and having to reverse. Gulp! Probably the best video of this pass I have seen so far. Trouble is unless you stop you can’t admire the views as all concentration is on what’s in front of you, maximum concentration.

Would be awesome to see it in cars like: New Beetles, Fiat 500, Honda E, Mitsuoka Rock Star (didn't know that one eh?), Alpine A110, Plymouth Prowler, Chrysler Cruiser, Fiat 124 Spider, Honda S660 and Mini Cooper. Uneven firing twin cylinder engines like these would be a perfect match. 😍

Having done this in a Ssanyong Korando. I had a job getting out of 2nd gear. Climbing humps where you can't see the road ahead for the bonnet. Then finding a hairpin bend right after. Better than a ride on the Big One in Blackpool! Lost count of gear changes.

I have been recording my driving in my '62 4/4 and was wondering: what brand of camera do you use, and do you have an external microphone for it? I noticed you have great engine sound quality with no overpowering wind noise. I haven't been happy with the sound quality from the cam I'm using...Great vid!

@Calum_RedThree 6 жыл бұрын

It was a GoPro Hero4 Black and I did use a separate sound recorder with a couple of Lavallier microphones fitted up with mini dead cat wind shields. The built in mic on the GoPro is pretty hopeless above walking pace but just using pretty much any microphone with a wind shield and the GoPro mic adaptor makes a huge difference and is a lot less hassle than the separate recorder.

Do you normally have to dog it like that to keep the engine cool? Maybe the audio is distorted but it just seems like if it were me I would keep it in a lower gear for longer.

@Calum_RedThree 6 жыл бұрын

These engines do produce lots of low rev torque. However, if you use it at low revs it knocks hell out of the rings, the bores and the main bearings. The manufacturers state that it shouldn't be subjected to any load below 2700 revs.

@BeingInTheMessiah 6 жыл бұрын

Must be I'm not interpreting the sound correctly then because it definitely sounds like the revs are too low.

@Calum_RedThree 6 жыл бұрын

Apologies, I misunderstood you...the engine always sounds like it is revving far lower than it really is on the recording

@AngryPrawn 7 жыл бұрын

Sounds loud enough. The combination of engine noise and wind noise can cause hearing damage over time. And even if it's not loud enough to cause damage, it can certainly accelerate fatigue over a long day of driving / riding.

@bodhispapa 6 жыл бұрын

I agree with AngryPawn...in my experience in an open roadster, the wind noise has great impact on the ears, even after a short time driving.

I think the wind would add to the earache. You would be very exposed.
