Options? Three eared spinners, a nice Moto Lita wheel....I fancy the four spoke 15". Heated seats, every bit of warmth helps. I easily avoided the quilted seats and the Bright Pack, but were drawn to the Union Jack enamel badges. There's absolutely no storage space at all inside, so even thought the pockets are too small (hey MMC, a running change!), every bit helps.
The bigger issue is colour, they'll paint it anything, which means you should spend some quality time at car dealerships perusing the colours.

Like the spec, three-eared spinners are quite racy for a road car? They can also protrude beyond the outer face of the wheel depending on which wheels you have, so just be aware of any local regs

Yes, the important selections are those more costly to change later eg colour, quilting, heated seats... FWIW I got the spinners, taller roll hoops, black exhaust guards, heated quilted seats and the Union Jack enamel badge. Jury still out on the steering wheel and need for luggage rack, but definitely the rear mudguard and Fairboune windscreen are on my wish list.

Color is a big decision, we are wrestling with that one. The quilted interior was definitely a go for us but then we heard that is firmer feeling so that must be a consideration. I know I want see Brooklands wheel, the Fairburn aero screen, the mud guard and the removable luggage rack. 2 eared spinners maybe... I always wanted a black car with red interior but worry that a black M3W might mask some of the pleasing curves of the body, and make it harder to see in traffic...

English white with mulberry red interior looks nice, so does the metallic grey and red a few people have got on here. Of course I am also fond of sport teal, and the Jaguar willow green with tan interiors.
A lighter color will help to accentuate the engine and the front suspension much better than a dark color.

I hope you two got out for a drive when Beth and I were gone? I hope I didnt get Molly too nervous with my driving, i am very respectful of other peoples vehicles. I drive everything like I'm the one that has to fix it if it breaks. Molly said I could push the Morgan harder but with an unfamiliar car on unfamiliar roads, i took it easy. I hear the ride you and beth went on was more thrilling!

Was that a tongue in cheek statement? New tyres should not be flogged, gentle driving for 50 miles upto 50mph & they are likely to last better.
