I quite like the green, but would never have chosen it. Will it be a lucky car?

Clear Indicators about £30 max in parts and 10 minutes to fit, but a something like a £450 extra plus vat from the factory....
Correct, I have just fitted these to my plus 8, purchase on ebay and approx £50 front and rear.

Moved to accommodate the 3.7 Roadster engine. The wing valances changed at the same time.

My +4 is very much like the green one shown here in as much as it has painted wires with spinners, wing lights and full width bumpers ( a VERY expensive option ) I have been toying with the idea of changing to clear indicator lenses and after seeing them I think it may well be the final touch. My car is a very traditional Royal Ivory with Honey Brown interior. By the way, Chipex are very good for touch up paint, I ordered a pot with brushes using the Morgan paint code ( M025 ) for, I think, £22.00 delivered.

As a follow up, I ordered the front and rear clear lenses from Phil at BHM for the very reasonable price of £36.00 delivered inc VAT. My Morgan price list quotes £300.00. How can they justify this price difference especially when it is merely a substitute for the normal yellow ones

Ah the one behind the old fogies. I'd hope to get a clear shot but they were the tail end of a factory tour and got in the way....

Surprisingly I too really like that Green!
I would never choose that off a chart - but in the flesh it looks sooo classic - a great choice IMO!

I too can highly recommend Chipex - not so easy to use as they say - but with practice and a timer for the paint to go off I got a good result with my 4/4
