Long term, that finish will become a nightmare to keep right, unless you're Drew Pritchard, when imperfections are king.
Black wheels are the same...…...they never look clean for long, just like black shiny cars.
I may not appear to be lazy, but I prefer easy wipe finishes. So gloss paint every time, and stainless wires every time, although the new CX alloys do look good.

although the new CX alloys do look good. When searching for the perfect trad Morgan stainless wire wheels were a definite. If I bought a new plus four it would definitely have alloys, o, and it would be automatic, because it's not a trad, is it?

Tarka the Plus 8 has alloy wheels and is automatic. It looks like a Trad, which I love. It isn't a Trad, which I love. It is a Morgan, which I love.

I did toy with the idea of having a Matt bodied car with gloss wings and a shiny bonnet. Trying to replicate a leather body clad car. Then thought about how much time it would take to clean the car let alone having to use different shampoos and worrying about splashing the paintwork with the incorrect shampoos. I agree Dave easy clean, shiny paint. But I do like black wheels. I think the way to achieve the fabric body look would be to buy the car with the required gloss finish, then have the body wrapped with a leathercloth look matt vinyl wrap. It could look wonderful, and would be cheap to do and easy to look after. While you are at it you could have the bonnet wrapped in a polished aluminium look as well. Dark blue would work really well.... Hmm.

Exactly, it's why I would choose a different options list for my (fantasy) CX car, I also wouldn't have considered a car the colour of Tarka until I seen it, now I would, it's stunning. Might not look as good on a plus four though.
