Hello again,
Looking to add some storage for small oddments, gloves/phone etc. My M3W is one of the first, no side pockets or anything. Have seen several images of various 'pouches' or bags that you have attached. Is there a product I can buy or are they bespoke made? Also, is there a standard tool kit, supplied initially. I don't seem to have one
Thanks again for your help/ideas. Regards Andrew

I don't own aM3W but Allon Whites produce some very attractive saddlebag type side pockets.

The "standard tool kit" consists of a hammer, a spanner for the front wheel nuts and a tire fill bottle. Nothing else. At least you should add a swiss army knive and a paperclip to perform some McGyver-tricks.

Thanks again for your help/ideas. Regards Andrew Nothing you buy that will be permanent in the cockpit will be big enough. I have just gotten used to carrying a reasonable backpack to hold phone, goggles, extra gloves, scarfs, lens cleaners, pressure gauge, Morgan owner's folder with registration and insurance papers with personal wallet. Where I go, it goes. This way, when I park the car with the standard compliment of onlookers I don't worry about things walking away... It fits easily under my legs while driving with a passenger. You should really talk with your dealer about the toolkit. It should be there but it is kind of worthless. You will need more tools to change a flat as the entire fender needs to come off to install a pressurized tire. I installed a small tool box under the cowl and bolted it down. Everything is wrapped in cloth so the rattling doesn't drive me more crazy than usual. This thing makes enough noise.
What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

Have seen several images of various 'pouches' or bags that you have attached. Many of the pouches are motorcycle windshield or handlebar bags. They are sold just ab out everywhere including eBay. Here is a just an example of some options... http://www.westendmotorsports.com/saddlebagsluggage-handlebarforkwindshield-bags-c-486_119_999.html

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silverline-Car...=item43be98c6ce This is a cheap and easy solution to store sunglasses, sun cream, A5 map and a wiper etc. It does the job and everything for driving is close at hand. I have seen much more elaborate pouches made for this area. I store handbook and documents in the pouch that came with the car. Just attached it with Velcro on the side of the body inside the passenger footwell. We all have different ideas of what's needed but hopefully you will get some more ideas to suit from others on this post. I know they are small and expensive but I am glad I have side pockets. Very useful for my clear safety glasses at night (only the stem fits in), pen and paper or extra maps.

The Wiilie & Max Take Along bag had a bracket mount and fits very neatly under the dashboard on the passenger side. http://www.westendmotorsports.com/willie-take-along-windshield-bags-large-p-12802.htmlI used velcro to initially mount the bracket intending to bolt it on once I had the positioning correct - but 2 yeas on it's still just velcro'd on and works fine!

I was greedy and also put one of these "willy & max bags" on the drivers side too; his and hers.
Works very well!
