Couldn't resist a few pictures following liberal application of Dodo juice on new car collected a week ago, now with 350 miles on the clock. Two eared Morgan logo spinners supplied and fitted by dealer as was the Fairbourne screen, although I arranged for it to be sent to him. He also supplied and fitted Union flag badges FOC! By arrangement standard screens were left out of build.  Asked for black armrests but got hit for two tone leather cost following misunderstanding between dealer and MMC. Fitted 25mm steering wheel spacer, probably the best mod so far. Surprising amount of extra knee clearance allowing greater mobility of left leg. Seems to give easier steering as well judging by the way I found myself chucking car around today   A stainless luggage rack also fitted by dealer is presently being powder coated black to match roll hoops, hence holes in them.  Consequently I have a pair of unused original screens, a pair of hex front wheel nuts and a 250mm fuel sender (fitted 280mm one) available. No reasonable offer refused - PM if interested.

Lovely, classic colours! What type wax? and would love your impressions of the Fairborne.

Lovely, classic colours! What type wax? and would love your impressions of the Fairborne. Dodo juice purple haze wax - check out this thread. Difficult to give subjective assessment of screen as never driven an M3W with standard ones, apart from short test drive. I would guess it reduces buffeting at speed but as I cannot easily see over the top, there may be an issue in heavy rain. Keeping a wash leather handy  Looking great - good to see the Aus loops elsewhere! Thanks, but just standard hoops - maybe the camera angle made them look taller

I've had my car (2012) both with the stock screens and now with the Fairborne, and there is NO comparison. Much less buffeting. I can wear a hat without having to "Duct tape" it on. I notice Morgan now has their own version of the FB screen. Anybody tried that yet?

I like your taste Richard, but then I would, wouldn't I? I do believe that the full Fairbourne windscreen makes a big difference to buffeting. We clocked a steady 70+ on the UK motorways coming back from the Albert Ball blat and it was really quite pleasant on a hot day like today.
