Hi,
The car does look great. The one in the pics is not actually mine, but is a little more progressed. I have gone for Prosecco with all black interior which I hope will work well. Pictures below. Mrs T and I have signed some of the woodwork.
Some of the cars cars had temporary steering wheels fitted to move them around, the proper AR one looks very good in my opinion but I know some would prefer something more traditional. My car was also on Silver wheels, not the gloss black I've ordered. Again this is temporary.
Most of that cars seem to have power steering fitted (mine does not). The lower aluminium dash was still not fitted to the cars I looked at.
Exhaust looks quite intricate and seems to have a smaller cat compared to what I remember from the earlier prototype. The spare wheel looks huge on the back of the car, presumably due to the wider wheel/tyre than standard Plus 4. I've ordered a spare wheel and luggage rack but will be tempted to remove and fit the dome for shorter journeys.
Looking forward to a drive :-) You are a very lucky man.. It looks lovely! I bet you can't wait, now..
Steve

She looks great Steve.
The idea of a Father/son trip,is good too. My son loves the Morgan.
Keeps telling me it's his ..when I go!
When I first saw the new cars at Malvern I instantly liked the front end.
Must be a Marmite issue!
Am looking forward to seeing the finished cars on 30th and hopefully having a run or better still a drive in one! But I fear there will b e a long que!

And should have added ...how wonderful to have signed the car during build.
Morgan's must be the only car in the world where this is possible.
Well done!

My baby will be my first 4 wheeled morgan and i choosed the power steering option, because my plan is to get very very old and drive my morgans as classic cars in 30 years ;-)
(...and for the comfort of the best wife in the world... ;-)

I know that a purchase like this should be from the heart, but at around £60,000 on the road, one is also committing a lot of loot too, and even if the man maths works, there is a need to justify it to ones significant other, who, although used to some excesses in the car department, none of them have ever involved such a large sum, all in one go, on one car.
So...... is it really likely that with only 50 units being made, it will really lose little or no value over the years, condition dependant of course.
What are your feeling on this?
