Wow!  This has to be my favourite view of the car (if not the background  ):  Why have the trads got their hoods up??

Wow! This has to be my favourite view of the car (if not the background ): I always thought that Liquid Mercury was the best colour silver for Maxes and their immediate relatives, but having seen this car in the flesh on a sunny day I must say it is stunning and forces me to revise my opinion. Congratulations Alistair on a beautiful acquisition.  Brian

The shots on the grass were taken at the factory when I collected it. It was down beside the bandstand and the four cars were set out to go on a transporter. They had various dealer names on the sheets in the windscreens.
Some shots show the black wheels which it had previously, Morgan were kind enough to switch them over to new silver wheels for the good lady and I. She is not keen on black wheels.
Lots of things to sort out.
Admiral did an amazing deal on the insurance of all the cars in the house to bring them onto a single policy. I tried a couple of others and they were not close.
Radio and Speakers need replacement They are okay but I am looking for something that can compete with the noise. I am thinking it through before I jump as it will need work. It may end up being iPad Mini driven for all of it. Amp and Speakers on the end of it and that's it. I need SatNav, MP3 style music, quality sound (who am I kidding with those exhausts) and a phone which will be the challenge. I may just end up using the jawbone.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Why have the trads got their hoods up?? Maybe it's because their owners know how to put their hoods up ?

 I must test the hood on the new car - now that the swivels are fitted to the correct sides...

Alistair, you've got an absolute beauty, good on you. I've watched that youtube a few times and admired your car over the months. Fantastic colour.
I was going to ask why you changed the wheels to black (as the silver alloys match the car) but didn't realise until your post above you actually changed from black to silver..finishes the look in my view.
My wife and I have debated getting an SS and the question always arises will we keep the S3.......never a pause.....YES!! :-)
Have fun (silly statement really.....it's a given) :-)

Good things come to those who wait but they've usually been left by those who got there first!
