Getting ready to spec out a 3Wer! Flying to Scottsdale AZ to meet with a dealer next month.
Is there a place to go the see cars in all the standard colors?
There are so many great pics posted here, but it's never clear whether the colors are stock or custom - same goes for the custom leather options...
Do the dealers have color swatches available on site?
Any advice appreciated!

Thanks Krod
Not particularly impressed with digital reproduction of the colors on the website - especially for the custom "bespoke" leather...
I heard that the leather options are the same as the Rolls Royce options? Anyone know if there's truth to those rumors?
Thanks,
Greg

I think you'll find they are standard colour from the Andrew Muirhead range. I was in a loss upholsters recently and they had the same range as MMC

Hi Greg!
I submitted my specs less than two weeks ago, so I believe I know how you feel. Choosing colors is frustrating but also a lot of fun.
Contact Muirhead! They will send you leather samples, no questions asked. They were four times as large as the samples my dealer gave me, as well. A big help.
As for custom/bespoke - just get what you want, it is "only" 1500 bucks extra. A no brainer, if you ask me.
Have fun and make sure to show us pictures, ok?
Nik
M3W, now!!!

When you think what you are spending it is worth flying over here rather than to Scottsdale and going for an arranged tour of the Maorgan factory. You will see a vast array of body and leather colours as well as lots of special touches you will not see on any website and then you will feel confident in your choice. Malvern is only 3 hours from London Heathrow. It's what I did and I have no regrets about my choice.

Malvern is only 3 hours from London Heathrow. It's what I did and I have no regrets about my choice. Greg I second that idea. Visiting the factory, as a Morgan owner or customer, is a very special experience. You see the cars built, experience the enthusiasm of the men and women who build them and get a feel for the history of the company. Also it gives you the chance to spend a few days in Malvern and the Malvern Hills, a truly beautiful place and the inspiration for the composer Edward Elgar You would be made very welcome and I am sure have the chance to meet a few TMers.

If you can find the time a visit over to Malvern is a v good idea - you would love the whole experience - and see lots of car in different colours/colour combinations. let me know if can be of any help - if you do come over - I live about 1 hour from the factory Neil

Greg ... You would be made very welcome and I am sure have the chance to meet a few TMers.  Bud __________ 2003 - 4/4 If you do come over, give us a bit of notice, I'm sure a few 'local' TMers would be happy to meet you/tour around with you (6 visits so far and I still get a buzz going around the factory). I'm quite happy to gave you a quick blat around the Malverns (this is a GOOD thing, nowt to be worried about  ), subject to my train driving roster, although you may prefer going with Neil (M3Boy) as he has the "correct" number of wheels  for you! Cheers Jeremy
