I have made a similar number of "Upgrades" to my Plus4 and doubt it will ever be "finished" it's what adds to the ownership experience and satisfaction IMHO. Suplex coming for me too!
Cheers!

Richard - it took me a while to realise this! But it does add to the satisfaction of ownership rather than seeing the Morgan as just another consumer item, which it isn't. One day it will be "finished" or "just right" (but then again, probably not).
Nigel They will NEVER be finished - that's the fun

Nigel A man after my own heart........ I totally agree with you. My 4/4 is the first car I've had that I want to keep until I pop my clogs. I'll probably never stop spending money on changing it but thats all part of the fun to me.....having a car that is very personal.

Good grief! How easily one forgets  I should have added all that other stuff to my list; round mirrors, MotoLita steering wheel, stainless rearview mirror, radio, aircon, sun visors, aftermarket shocks, stainless wires, hood cover, tonneau package, wire mesh grill, luggage rack, Morgan leather luggage, badge bar, fog,lights, front brake reaction stays, Panhard rod, Suplex suspension kit. (and when it is available the rear Suplex kit) All that as well as the sports exhaust system. Ahrrrrg! I can't afford to stop now

I keep a list of all the "little" and "big" jobs, changes and fixes I have done. In the first year it's extensive and still growing. I brought a car in good condition.... I love it. I like to go in to the garage in the evening and tinker....great way to unwind.

Also S/S chassis crossmember covers! How could I forget? But mine are not the usual Morgan bling, they are from "silverfoxsbclub" a UK Ebay seller, with a nice satin finish (and half the cost).

Ahrrrg! again. I forgot those too. We fitted them at the factory before I had even driven the car. Obviously a good number of the extras in my list were ordered and fitted before delivery but I think I can still count them. I just saw I forgot the walnut dash too.

Nigel,
I fully share your view on Morgan ownership. Make the car your own, much more satisfying.
