Inside this Morgan, all the charms of English design, despite the limited space.

The Regal, made by the Reliant Motor Co Ltd, could be driven as it appears in this picture, open to the sky, but also on rainy days thanks to a canvas that made it waterproof.

Again, the fact that this car had only three wheels made things easier for buyers who didn't need a license to drive it. But beware: the MKIII was equipped with a 747-cc 4-cylinder engine and a 4-speed manual transmission, and it could reach speeds of up to 100 km/h.

A total of 2,787 units were assembled between 1956 and 1958.

Inside, as if space wasn’t already tight enough, a central channel separates the two available seats. Note also the position of the steering wheel; the Regal was an English car.
