It's not real, just a design exercise, but i think Morgan would sell a lot of these if they started producing it
anyone agree?

Maybe. But the Corbin Merlin didn't go anywhere.

I like the concept, but I am still attracted to the vintage look of a reverse trike like the Morgan, TriKing, and JZR.

Its kinda Cool. Different or, being less kind, odd. Does anybody else here see the striking similarity to the look at the back and a bumper car?
I would prefer an at least partially exposed back wheel to keep it from looking so heavy.
I won't fault the originality.
Dare to be different!
Side by sides are harder to proportion, looking fat at the back. Morgan types are able to look slim only by squeezing down the cockpit width to the point where two grown men wind up jammed shoulder to shoulder, arms hanging out the sides. T Rex, Vanderhall and even the 4 wheeled Lotus seven have the same problem. The narrow cockpit does help to keep mass centered, another problem for side by sides. They all look to have a narrower cockpit than ,for instance, an MG Midget.
If you look at any of the Leno you tube videos involving these cars, you can see what I mean.
Personally, I'm a bit narrow at hip and shoulder and could enjoy owning any of the vehicles mentioned above. A big guy might think more about it.
Jay doesn't seem to mind much though.
T-Rex with nose cone off.(not to imply this is Jay, don't know the identity.)
Looks as though this big fellow has to lean in just to see around the narrowly spaced pilar. Never mind the narrow tappering footwell and dinky control pedals. Pity a possible passenger.
