Hi Roger,

Excellent choice, whilst it is a while since I've had a trad I thought that I would let you have my 2p-worth. grin2

1. As Robbie says, I would go for the folding/reclining seats.

2. The PVC one leaks along the seams, for me the mohair/everflex one is the best choice.

3. They all scratch the bonnet and wear the paint imo, including the sheepskin ones that harbours grit. frown2

4. For me the Plus 8 type alloys look the best - the unsprung weight is much lower too.

5. I like a radio in a car and also the facility to connect an iPod is essential.

6. Robbie has covered this.

7. No treads with Defendall on the wings is the best solution for me; less unnecessary clutter.

8. No strong views either way.

9. They look good imho, again the Plus 8 look. flag

10. Two-tone paint, as you can see from my avatar I like it. Ivory/Claret sounds super. thumbs See this site for some other ideas.

11. Just over-riders..

12. Stick with the standard accelerator pedal.

13. Down to your choice really.

14. A clock is a good idea.

15. Don't have door handles, especially if you intend to drive it most of the time with the hood down. Again they clutter the profile and are not effective at keeping people out.

16. Do test drive one as this is the only way to find out.

The great thing about Morgan's is that you can personalise them to your own specification. In fact that is half the fun when ordering one, do enjoy the process and I am sure loads of other trad owners will be more than pleased to advise you too. wine

Cheers
Brian
