Thanks for the comments
I chose the almond green and Helen at RTCC persuaded me to go for white on the cowl and wheels. We compromised on cream and I'm really pleased with the look. It was metalic sport grey with the RAF logo. Looked very military and was a great look also. However this looks more traditional. If I only I could have two 3W's!!!

PS
I'm going to engineer some threaded fasteners to fit to the old druz mountings
A nice domed alan headed screw would be easier and better than the standard fittings

I like the cream wheels and body coloured mudguards much more than the standard black. A very traditional look.

The original paint on the mudguards is more like a plasticoat.
It was peeling off within the year. I think the guards should be colour coded from new.

I think I will reverse mine into a Land Rover or similar to get 2014 spec body and chassis but may die in the process I suppose. Oh well...
Perhaps better to get it 'upgraded'?
Does anyone know what it costs to send a late 2012 (which already has upgraded wisnbones, comfort kit, later rack, new sprocket/hub) to Morgan factory to be re-freshed further to latest spec (Chassis, compensator etc.) Must ask my lovely BHM when I'm next there.
Can't see the point in selling and buying if it's easier to get it refreshed. And mine hasn't broken big time anyway (just a couple of bobbins).
You know - I do think we're all going to end up with the car we always wanted if we persevere just a bit more, and I can't remember seeing anyone complain that the car isn't just what they wanted when it's going perfectly...
