In the mid 1930s Morgan was one of the leaders in the three wheel vehicle market. As early as 1919 the Castle Motor Company was the first to make a serious attempt to rival the Morgan with their Castle Three. The Castle Motor Company was in Kidderminster, Worcestershire. The other were BSA, Coventry Victor, J.M.B., and Raleigh. The Triking or TriKing is another three wheel cycle car currently available in the UK. You can order a factory built or it is also available in kit form. Visit their site at http://trikingsportscars.co.uk/ - see below for a clickable link to the site.

Kearns was the inventor of the intermittent windshield wiper. He tried to sell it to the big three auto makers however none were interested. They did copy his idea and Kearns had to sue them. There is an interesting article online about him, his invention, and lawsuits with the auto makers. About the time of WWI, a French gentleman named Robert Darmont started his business as a importer of the Morgan 3 wheeler from England. After the war he obtained a license from Morgan to build the Morgan 3 wheeler in France. The Darmont-Morgan was born. The Morgan and Darmont-Morgan are basically identical, although one was built in France. Stewart Sandford, another French gentleman was selling the Morgan 3 wheeler in France. Stewart saw the need for a faster, more powerful 3 wheeler so he designed the Sandford 3 wheeler. It had a 4 cylinder Ruby engine in it. Very different from the Morgan. The Sandford is all steel with the engine fully enclosed. The Morgan F series 3 wheeler did have an enclosed engine.
