I ordered the heated seats but have only tested them to see if they were working. Our drives so far have neither been long enough or cold enough to need them as we head into spring. It's a good move as far as the wife goes. She's a big user of the heated seats in our RS4 and I probably earned a few brownie points specifying them for the M3W.

Philip, do they heat the back or just the bottom cushion?

I like chrome pipes, yet dislike discolouration, it looks to my untrained eye that it is limited to the actual headers, i.e. the part just aft the engine, but the actual pipes after the initial bend remain virgin. A bit of reminder that a real machine sits up front is OK, much of the pipe sullied isn't.
I'm assuming the lovely three eared knockers are also available as is the equally lovely wood Moto Lita? Re the discolouration - it is pretty much confined to the headers. From the flexible joint backwards it's not too difficult to keep everything shiny. 3 ear spinners are available from Morgan and others such as MWS (who supply the wheels): http://www.mwsint.comI think Morgan may now offer a Moto0Lita option, if not just order direct: https://www.moto-lita.co.uk/If you don't like one of their standard wheels they can make a custom one - I had a 13" Mk3 made with the 3 hole fixing so it bolted straight onto the standard Three Wheeler quick release. Have great fun on your test drive and enjoy speccing your new pride & joy  Chris, order these knickety knacks from the factory or from the OEM? Has anybody used the contrasting stitching on their interior?

I asked for contrasting stitching and was told it was not possible, that was back in 2012 though.

I considered black stitching with my claret leather, but decided 250 Pounds was too much to spend.
It was possible spring 2013, is what I´m trying to say.
M3W, now!!!

I ordered my steering wheel direct from Moto-Lita about a year after getting the car. At the time I ordered my M3W Morgan didn't offer this but they may do now.
I've still got me original (non eared) spinners.

All of the seats are hand sewn and the thread is picked for each seat by that same person. How can it cost more for them to choose red versus black thread???????

The current price list on the site shows "Coloured stitching" for 175. I suppose they charge more b/c they can, for the same reason other Morgan colours not listed as std cost more. I do not agree with this, I think it fosters resentment..never a good PR move...but I wouldn't let the cost determine my decision. I was just wondering if anyone selected this and if they had a pic.
Also, is there an advantage to ordering the Moto Lita and the 3 eared knockers from the factory or from the OEM?
Also, what size Moto Lita is recommended?

The standard Morgan steering wheel is 14" but I replaced with a 13" Moto-Lita MK3 which gives me a little more room under the wheel.
The steering's very slightly heavier but not a problem.
Morgan Park in Germany also do a range of rather nice M3W wooden wheels which are flatter at the bottom for better clearance.
