Hi Everybody,
Last summer I had the great fortune to visit the Morgan factory and place an order for a Plus 4. So I have spent plenty of time during the past few months reading Talk Morgan and working out the options - the contributions have been really helpful.
Of course, the most tricky decision was choosing the colour. The classic shape lends itself well to two-tone, and I also think gives it an even more traditional feel. I was lent a few samples at the factory and the one colour that stood out was "Bentley Bronze" (ie a type of brown). This I've matched with "sport white", which is not really white, but a slightly paler version of ivory. Surprisingly there was no brown leather to match the bronze, but saddle brown seems to look fine. Now I'm a bit anxious about, in effect, having 3 colours - we shall see!! Actually it's now too late, as I've just heard that they have finished building it and it is waiting to go off to have the extras fitted, and will be ready for collection next Thursday. Can't wait.
I live now in Munich, so after flying to England with my daughter to pick up the car, I'll spend a couple of days in Shropshire (where I come from) before heading down to Dover on Easter Sunday. Just my luck that there could be a tanker driver strike next week.
It's quite a military exercise, as in the meantime my wife and son will drive up in our Volvo to meet us at Calais (there's limited room in the Morgan for bottles of the nice stuff you find en route back to Munich). We shall then spend a week driving back to Munich via Champagne, Alsace, Black Forest and Bavaria. I figure that in this time the car and myself will get to know each other pretty well!
