Safety first: dump the hopeless rear view mirrors and install mirrors with a wider view. There are multiple sources.
This is under the assumption that MMC did not change their mirror pollicy? The mirror replacement on my 2009 Roadster was the first thing I did.
Safe driving!

Great idea for a thread
In no particular order and not exhaustive
John Taylor’s (Morgan Hoods) aka Phoenix Design Door mirrors so you can actually see behind on your nearside
Wolf Performance bonnet Stays
Towel (because you always know where you are with a towel)
John Taylor (Morgan Hoods) storm cover
Stainless Mesh grill (because you won’t get all upset over fishing out debris from behind the grill and hides stuff stuck on your radiator
Towel
Three eared wheel spinners (because they look cool if you’ve ever followed a car with them on at a relatively low speed) (not essential I just like them)
Towel
Wolf Performance side screen knob spanner (because it’s shiny and much easier to use than a Tommy bar which can slip out and damage your paintwork
Wolf Performance pump up lumbar seat bladders (mega for backs and so easy to fit)
Towel
Couple of small tins of your paint colour and a colour code or name and year that any paint mixing company can understand and keep it safe
A set of quality transparent fuses that you can actually see if they’ve blown
Towel
ACF50 to dribble along wing beading and into cracks regularly
Tectyl 506 spray to spray on any mods under the Mog when you are under to ward off the rust - it’s translucent amber so you can see through it to inspect condition but coloured so you know it’s there - much better than black stuff
Trowel (good for gardening)
Meguairs Ultimate Quik Detailer (I now use it all the time instead of water washing unless it’s really dirty)

I'd add a luggage rack, third brake light, sidescreens bag and a few well chosen books.

This Superspoke steering wheel looks very good and seems to give a nice touch and feel with more freedom of handling in the upper section, Richard.

I would say drive it as it is for year or two. Once you've got a good few thousand miles under your belt, then you'll have a much better idea of how you want your car to be. But if you haven't got one yet, get a John Taylor storm cover. I agree, drive it for 12 months and you will know what you will want to change, in my case, 5 years down the line I have not changed a lot.

I would say drive it as it is for year or two. Once you've got a good few thousand miles under your belt, then you'll have a much better idea of how you want your car to be. +1 I understand you very well. It's a lot of fun to equip, enhance or beautify your Morgan. But if you allow yourself a little time, you can appreciate, classify and enjoy the result much better in a year or even in two years. Personally, and later on I would start with the smaller things, e.g. brake reaction bars, maybe a K&N filter insert, high octane fuel, later then adjustable shock absorbers, etc. I would never start with single throttle valves, that would be rather something for the last measures. An honest question, are you satisfied and can you enjoy your car as it is. Or are there already areas that you would like to change because something is bothering you? If not, take it easy and just enjoy her. If you play music, imagine you've been playing guitar for a year only, you can't really appreciate what distinguishes a 1961 ES335 from a 2018 Indonesian Epiphone. That's just a comparison, and I respect your desire for development and change very well. +2 - Have a year or two of fun and learn Your Morgan. It will be amazing how much You will change Your mind. Mr. Morgan did a good job and it is very hard to improve His efforts.
