As a company car, it’s about as far away as you can get from a Foxtons mini.
For a start, it’s not green, it’s not branded and it only has three wheels.
But apparently the customers of Capital & Coastal, an agent on the south coast, absolutely love it and the public positively look out for the company’s Morgan 3 Wheeler when it hits the road.
Needless to say that the man who mostly gets to drive it, director Michael Riley, loves it too.
The former head of sales for Savills and head of operations for Romans, says the retro-style, crowd-pleasing car is doing wonders for his business.
Riley said Capital & Coastal chose the car because they are a niche agency that wanted something that would support their brand positioning, and would “turn heads, like our properties”.
He said: “What better way to view properties and their stunning south-coast surrounds than blasting along (within the speed limit) with the sea air in your hair, being chauffeur-driven in one of Britain’s most iconic cars?”
Riley also takes the car, described in one motoring review as “a happy pill on wheels”, to open-house events and parks it outside as an additional attraction. Sounds like love to us! Still a bit close to the Tarmac, though.
