Morgan Super 3: "It's Not Like Driving a Car, or a Motorcycle."

29 Jul

With the launch of a co-designed Super 3 Malle Rally Special, Morgan and Malle London are extending their fruitful partnership. Customers will receive the vehicle along with the entire Driver's Collection of Morgan x Malle clothing and accessories, as well as entry into one of the upcoming Malle rally events, which will take place in Great Britain, the Alps, or the Arctic.

The Super 3 Malle Rally Special was introduced at The Malle Mile Festival in Lincolnshire, and it represents the Malle London motto "Prepared To Go Lost" as well as the daring attitude of Super 3. The debut of the new special comes after a year of exploration and adventure with the two businesses, during which a specially ordered Super 3 Malle Rally Support Vehicle set out on expeditions around the UK and Europe.

The Super 3 Malle Rally Special comes with an invitation to a future Malle Rally, where owners may participate in a memorable week-long journey in their own vehicle. The Great Malle Rally in the UK, the Great Malle Mountain Rally in Europe, and the upcoming Great Malle Arctic Rally are some of these rallies. The UK rally, which spans 1,500 miles from the country's southernmost to its northernmost tip, is the country's longest motorcycle event. The European Adventure, a 1,500-mile motorcycle rally from Austria to Monaco that traverses six nations and some of the highest drivable roads in Europe, is the longest motorcycle rally to have ever tried the whole Alps mountain range.

There are three color options for the Super 3 Malle Rally Special, each of which reflects the brand colors of Malle and is prominently featured in the announcement's photos and video: yellow, red, and black. The specifically commissioned livery, which adorns the vehicle and is only available as part of the unique specification, is what gives the design its particular appeal. The two British enterprises collaborated to develop the livery, which has a topographic map honoring Malle's favorite British mountain road, a number roundel of your choice, Union Flag branding, and the motto "Prepared To Go Lost" on the rear boot lid. The roll hoops, nose cone, and exhaust all have a white finish.

As part of its regular specification, the special model has a large number of choices and extras. They have been carefully chosen to help the edition stand out visually and to prepare owners for exploration. Among the standout extras are cupholders, LED headlights (for EU versions only), heated seats, lockable storage, inside bungee cords, a Beeline navigation system, and LED headlights (for EU versions only).

The Morgan and Malle teams have driven thousands of miles to test and refine the features on the Super 3 Malle Rally Special, including a 4,000-mile, 12-day road trip. The car also has two Driver's Collection sets, which come with panniers, knee pads, step guards, and jackets by Malle x Morgan.

The Morgan x Malle Driver's Collection features a variety of apparel and auto accessories that Morgan and Malle London jointly created. Handmade from durable 10 oz. British waxed canvas that is wind- and water-resistant is the Malle x Morgan Jacket. It has many pockets that are adequately sized for keys and papers, a GPS headphone port, a storm flap opening, a poacher's bag, and a storm baffle around the neck. The interior is quilted for additional insulation. The Morgan x Malle Knee Protection, made to go with the jacket, is a must for using the Super 3 in bad weather. The knee protection, which is likewise handcrafted from durable 10 oz British waxed canvas, fits into the jacket's snap points at the waist by doubling as a catch. The Morgan x Malle Driver's Collection's wearable portion is completed by the jacket and knee guard, which are both offered in black or sand. Accessories created concurrently with the creation of Super 3 are also available in The Driver's Collection. The sideblades of the Super 3 may be equipped with weatherproof waxed canvas panniers that hold baggage with various compartments to segregate damp and dry clothes. Step guards that are placed for the captain and co-pilot make sure the seat is protected while boarding.

Priced at £54,995, the Super 3 Malle Rally Special (plus taxes and OTR). The cost includes the whole specification, every item from the Malle x Morgan Driver's Collection for the driver and co-driver, entry to your choice of Malle Rally, and VIP access to the Malle Mile and Malle Beach Race. Also, owners are invited to visit Morgan's ancient house in Malvern Link at Pickersleigh Road to meet the people that create each sports vehicle there using unique techniques that have been passed down through the centuries.

Jonathan Wells, Chief Design Officer, Morgan Motor Company, commented: “From the outset of Super 3’s design process, we had envisioned the vehicle embarking on incredible adventures all over the world. Through our collaboration with Malle London, we have been able to realise this vision and help equip owners to have their own adventures.

Throughout the last year, Malle has been able to prove the adventure credentials of Super 3, taking its Support Vehicle on numerous rallies and adventures in the UK and Europe. Following the success of those adventures, and the willingness to encourage more individuals to enjoy such journeys, the natural next step for our two companies was to collaborate on a dedicated Super 3 rally series.

This is the first special Super 3 that has been available to customers since the launch of the production model in February 2022. Complete with every accessory an owner could need, and with functional and striking design at its core, we have created the ideal special series.”

Robert Nightingale, Founder of Malle London, commented: “In 2022 we had the envious role of taking one of the first Super 3 prototypes out for a spin, and in true Malle fashion we drove it 3,000 miles over nine days on The Great Malle Rally, supporting 100 custom and classic motorcycles.

“The reception to Super 3 is always incredible, met with smiles and waves! It's not like driving a car, or a motorcycle. In the Super 3 our photography team were able to get closer to the rally riders than ever before, capturing amazing shots from an entirely new perspective. Super 3 continued to feature in all Malle events throughout the summer, then in late 2022 we collaborated with Morgan’s design team to build a custom ‘fit for purpose’ Support Vehicle for The Great Malle Mountain Rally, the longest motorcycle Alpine rally ever attempted.

“From Austria to Monaco, we travelled through six countries in six days, across all the highest mountain passes, up to 2,800m multiple times and back again! The Super 3 Support Vehicle covered 4,000 miles in 12 days. Including 728 miles in 24 hours, driven by myself.

“The Super 3 Malle Rally Special is born out of these wild adventures, inspired by our own experiences and the desire to make them available to more adventurers around the world. It is more than just a car or transportation it’s a real ‘money can’t buy’ experience. We can’t wait to welcome drivers of the Malle Rally Specials to future Malle rallies and as a VIP guest to future Malle races.”
