Thanks Peter. I will try working on them to see if they will budge.

Told that my spec is final and fixed now. If there are any last minute changes Morgan reserve the right to charge £100.00. Just as well I have decided on everything now

Just one last minute thought. Do you know what tyres are going to be fitted. For ground clearance I would strongly suggest 205/65 R15.
You also have the option of having a spare that is using the slimmer 4/4 wheel and tyre 165/80 R15 which has practically the same diameter as the 205/65 R15.
They are 10 mm higher than the 205/60 R15 tyres fitted to some cars. 10 mm can make a lot of difference over spped humps and such.
If you wanted to do so it may not be too late for this detail.

My car went into build on Friday and is now a rolling chassis, which is great news. I am going to the factory a week on Friday to have a look at the car just before it goes into trim. Hopefully I should have the car in about 4 or 5 weeks

Hi, looks like you snapped a phone of our 3.7 Roadster (June 2012 - so one of the first batch) when she was back at the factory for a few tweaks.
You are right - we modified a pin badge and used self adhesive tape to fill the gap in the centre dash. It looked a bit bare with nothing there - so glad you like it.
We also asked Morgan to upgrade the right hand switches as originally there were 3 blanks - not ideal. As you can see we have all 5 buttons now presesnt - although only a couple are wired in and live. Still, it looks much better.
Hope you have fun with your new Roadster, we love ours.....oh yes we also upgraded to the aero exhausts as the originals were silent. The aero exhausts give a nice rumble when powering on but are fine for crusing as we spend a fair amount of time in europe at c 80 mph plus , so dont want to be deafened, so the aeros are a nice compromise.

Any photos of yours Where abouts are you - in the UK? I had spotlights and the accompanying switch - along with the starter button on mine.
