Flying jacket from the Morgan shop used to keep me pretty warm in the winter in Oxford although I have specced the heated seats on my new M3W. Shame they don't do a heated steering wheel as well as I love that on our XF!

THANK YOU everyone for the awesome notes here...
I'm really mixed on the new dash and the full windscreen. Seems like the heated seats might be worth it for the wife since it's relatively low cost.
Anyone order the photographic build record? Worth it?

I recall thinking it wasn't really worth the money when I had my 2013 M3W but I have still gone ahead and ordered it again for my new one. Don't think that helps you much, though, Blake!

The Stage One upgrade is a must.
Best thing you can do for your M3W!👍

Looks great WW1 thanks for sharing. I was 100% sure I wanted the new dash but guess I also got used to the more utilitarian original dash that also I think suits the nature of the 3 wheeler.
Does anyone know/have pics of the black wood stain dash and the natural? I saw one of the black stains with what looked like black instead of silver paint and wondering if that was something the owner did after delivery or they use different paint colors to complement the different stains.

Good luck on your options. I did a lot of soul searching on this like everyone else. I went for the convenience options like the larger windscreen, footwell storage box, vintage bonnet catches and heated seats. None of them were all that expensive to add so I figured why not. Regardless of the other clothes options for me the heated seats are a no-brained.
I added the stage 1 as I always do that at some point so figured if I could get it from the factory and no warranty arguments it made sense. Plus the vast majority of what you read would lead you to believe changing the exhaust in some manner is a good idea. If you think you will do stage 1 later you save a few bucks and work getting it done at the factory.
I struggled the most with was which dash to get but I concluded the bomber gimmicky switch I could not live without and like the utilitarian look and feel of the standard dash.
Spinners are just cool though would get the three ear though I got the two ear. Also purchased the Union Jack emblem on the side which was reasonably low cost.
The mud guard seems like it should be a standard from what I read.
On the color I was probably too cheap or lazy and picked sport green. I also purchased the painted cowl as I thought the chrome option was too spendy in light of what appeared to be an insignificant amount of parts that were chromed and not really crazy about the color of the stock cowl. Later if i get in the mood I suspect you can take the hoops off and chrome them if that is what you like which I do. Plus chrome for me seems like more maintenance which is one of the reasons I owned a Harley for only about six months.
Good luck with whatever you choose as I am sure you can't go wrong. I pick mine up next week and happy to report out.

The cowl and roll hoops are actually stainless steel either painted or polished depending on which option you choose.

Blake, sorry to intrude however if it helps, for my own dealership's website I created an options guide which shows the wood samples. Morgan M3W Options Guide Some of the items in the guide are now obsolete, and so I also posted an updated version with current colors at Options Update Less popular options are no longer available, so this is just a reference to assist M3W buyers. Please don't fault me for any errors as availability can change! I made these documents to assist, not to confuse potential new Morgan owners. I know you are purchasing your Morgan elsewhere, however I cannot help myself, speccing new Morgans is so much fun! (Not sure that speccing is a real word outside of a dealer's lexicon.)
