You guys aren't helping at all....

They all look lovely, yet I have to choose ONE.

Let's try this:

How did you choose your colour? What was you thought process, how did you finally commit?

What colour has been your favourite of all the cars you've owned in the past?
That's a good start.

Oh, and eliminate those colours which you would not want based on past experience.
For me that would be silver and any variation of silver down to gunmetal grey. Dark green, Dark blue, Dark red, Fridge white.
Then see what's left.
Google "what colour" Morgan images and see if you like what comes up.

Thanks, Dave, but all the colours in the past looked good/not so good based on how they showed the line off, etc, my opinion was based not so much on colour but also that it was a car and the particular styling qualities and cues of that car. The 3 is just so unique, I find that my decision making process doesn't seem to hold here.

Ironically, it's the colours you don't seem to like that I gravitate towards: The gunmetals (metallics) work with the industrial/aircraft quality of the design...I think the red pleated interior would look great, black (with anthracite pleats stitched black)b/c it's, well, black and monochrome is cool and would show off the chrome bits. And navy metallic (again with red pleats) b/c it's just my favorite colour.

I chose mine when I went to place the order...expected a long wait but a cancelled order had come up and I had to specify it there and then. All previous thoughts disappeared and I went for Sport Red. Have yet to see a colour that I thought was just plain wrong though I'm not convinced I could live with the polished body/shocking pink leather combination that has been done.

Got mine off Craigs List. I wanted OD with all the sharks teeth and Spitfire stuff, but the one one one Craigs List, Sport Red with black interior, was available AND $20.000 cheaper (a 2012). I'm really glad as sport red is perfect and I really like it----get RED.

I too had all sorts of ideas in my head but when I saw a sport green one with tan interior then I knew that was what I'd have to have. The shark's teeth are a bonus!
