No contemporaneous three wheelers had the Morgan's resistance to ground looping. Nice idea: Don't kill your customers. They might come back for another one.

With the exception of the Morgan - with its engine mounted forward of the yaw center - all two in front three wheelers tended to swap ends. If this was an easy problem to overcome, it would have done so decades ago.
