Thought I'd post a couple of photos of the interior. My aluminum guy is simply an artist. Hand formed everything. Each rivet was hammered in by hand. He reproduced various body parts in aluminum. I hope to have additional photos to share once it's back home.

artist indeed. i'm not even going to ask what it cost to do the interior that way as i can't even begin to fathom the labor that goes in to that kind of craftsmanship.

That is a truly beautiful machine you have created there  All that remains to do is "Drive it like you stole it "  avoiding  .

Love it- looks a bit 'steampunk' with all those rivets and brass surrounds. BTW, I see you have no rubbers on the pedals, I recently used some of that rough faced adhesive tape on my brake, as the rubber kept falling off. Gerry.

Beautiful work, It is a shame Morgan themselves have not offered bespoke interiors. All the traditional skills on offer at the factory this must be a possibility.
