Description
For sale this rare and excellent 3 wheeler designed by Richard Oakes and built in 2008.
I'm only selling as I've ordered a new chariot and will need the garage space.
As a former owner of two Morgan 3 wheelers (a 2013 then 2017 model), I can vouch for the exceptional handling of the Blackjack Zero, the quality of its build, and the smile-on-face factor! It has taken me to France and across the UK and never let me down once! It's been regularly serviced by a motorcycle dealership which sold me my Moto Guzzi bikes and by a car mechanic for "car" related issues. I will happily share a PDF file of all services and MOTs done since 2019.
When I bought the Blackjack Zero in 2019 it had only about 1000miles on the clock and had been SORNed for sometime. Mileage now is near 21, 000 and the new MOT has no advisories and is valid to November 2024.
Give me a call to talk through the car or to give you a video walk through in more detail.
