Well, the time has come to come up with what to have as options but more importantly, what colour scheme to go for.

The difficult decision is do I go for something classic that I can re-wrap from time to time in something a little more OTT or do I go subdued like before ? rofl

The problem always lies with the interior colour. Both leather companies that Morgan use seem to have virtually identical colour swatches.

Plus it would be nice to find a new colour that suits the car for the paintwork.

Decisions Decisions............

What a great position to be in

I must admit to preferring the look of the New Aero in the dark blue rather than the silver

The silver (and I imagine any lighter colour) appeared to 'flatten' out the curves on that back end and make it look a little less sculptural and more bulbous

Just my opinion as a designer

If it helps at all... Mulberry with nutmeg piping. Looks even lovelier in the leather.

Here is another option:



Loom Leather with cream piping.

The only problem with the creme piping is that the seatbelt rubs the edge and keeping the creme piping clean is a pain.

I would, if specifying again, reverse the colours, a light leather with dark piping.

There may well be other Morgans with red leather.
I'll bet mine remains unique!

If keeping the cream piping clean is difficult, why would you have cream leather, wouldn't that be even harder to keep clean?

Personally I feel the traditional colours like tan and mulberry (especially mulberry, I love Neilda's car) look best in traditional cars.

Cream leather to my eyes is all a bit "Considerably richer than yow", not to mention being wildly impractical unless a car is never driven top-down in inclement weather.
