Ps push your dealer to get photos - I have a lot ( though I also ordered the photographic build record ) . Still I’ve got snaps from the day the body was painted till the day it was in storage .

John, driving 6 months in UK sounds like a great vacation!

Did you order everything possible on yours?

I only ordered a solid color, heated seats and full windshield. Maybe I’ll get lucky and someone will cancel and i get bumped up in the que.

Hi guys, thanks for the interest.
At the time of ordering, EURO 4 Had not happened.
At the time of ordering the price increased by 2K.

Then there was a year delay.

With me so far?

Yes, i have photos. More later.
There is a more in-depth view in the threads John`s 3 wheeler and Almost time.
The colour is Jaguar Squadron blue, with a slight green tint.
Colour code Jdj265 variant GE82.

The Leather is Ivory white( but not really white, more like biscuit). Don`t forget i ordered this 2 1/2 years ago. The leather supplier has changed since then.
I have the new aero screen fitted.
I have had the car built without rear louvres.
I overpaid for several upgrades when i paid in full.

The budget has been eaten into because of the Euro 4 to 3 conversion, at a cost of £895, i didn`t pay or want the full package.
I did want an engine upgrade, but the exhausts are too loud for me. There are other options available at a more affordable price.

Some of the work to be done, i will undertake myself.
I have new side mirrors, which is a 5 minute job.
I have new front indicators to fit, not plastic.
I have a rear view mirror, where to mount it? On the Scuttle or on the Aero screen divider.

There are still a few things to do.

Original Colour scheme:

[url=]Original colour scheme.[/url]

This is what i wanted. I`m not going to pay to have the bodywork removed and repainted. Not to worry. I now have something better.

The wheel discs they ( my dealer has had made). just need to sort out a price.
If anyone is interested, Mooneyes will make wheel covers, they just need to know the inner and outer dimensions and the offset.


[url=]Something better.[/url]

The shark mouth graphics i will get made. Found a company to make them for £150 + +. There are two sheets, the other has some extras on it.

At this time i am waiting for the customs paperwork, then i can collect it.

The D-day invasion stripes i can get done at a local garage, probably at a very reasonable price.

I have ordered one of these as well.

More later.
John.

Like those disc wheels and I believe I saw some similar in spun aluminum here on this site. Nice idea and probably less $$$ than stainless steel wire wheels.

The gun sight would be a natural on the radiator cap, if you had one.

Ordered our new 110 M3W October 2018 . Number 4 build slot second week Jan 2019 delivered to Krazy Horse March 2019 . Dan at K.H Not happy with some of the build quality on PDI which he could sort but Morgan wanted the M3W returned to the factory. Very disappointed as it's a 50th wedding anniversary present for my wife and I , still we hope it come back better than it was delivered back to the factory. Thanks to the team at Krazy Horse for all the help .

Wow, not very good quality control!

Hope mine has a better inspector.

The wheel cover idea is one way to go, but someone suggested painting the wheels the same color as the leather. After thinking about that for awhile it sounds pretty good to me.

So true. I have plenty to do to keep my mind and body occupied. Like foot surgery in two weeks...

I picked up my first Morgan , a 4/4 4 seater in 1989 after a 5 year wait! After waiting 5 years for a plus 8 and expecting to wait 7 years , I was fortunate enough to latch into a cancellation slot and picked up my present car in 1999 after only a another 5 year wait - how times change !
