Great review osten, I think you have summed up perfectly life with the 3 wheeler.
After 1000 miles in mine I feel like I have sort of bedded in with it and love it even more, apart from the indicators!

I'm planning to do one for the TOTH19 as well.

So true! It amazes me after a couple of months ownership and I suspect it will continue.

Osten, the Turn Indicator Lamp is much easier to see if you turn the steering wheel upside down. Also, the blasted thing is not intuitive, to cancel its operation before it times out you must actuate it in the same direction you did to turn it on! So, tap it once to turn it on and tap it again to turn it off, all in the same direction. When I have been driving the M3W and switch to my MINI I end up turning on the windscreen wipers and washers 😱.

Enjoy the ride👍

You soon get a "muscle" memory. Swapping between cars with left hand gear change, right hand change & auto with selector on right of column after driving one for a period then changing car you reach for a lever that's not there or forget to change.

Hey Guys I do have a question:

What is the Honey Tan shade of leather ? In pictures it all seemed almost caramel while in person it turned out to be more of a brown than what i expected. Does anyone have his interior in this color ?

Because when I pictured Honey-Tan (their basic option with black) I picture this:

but in reality it was this that I saw in the showroom:

So what is the exact shade of the first link ? Have they changed the shade ?

I have a Plus4 with “honey tan” leather I would say it is a bit lighter than the colour in the 3 w photo. Definitely Brown,though, a person with a tan this colour would have to be in the sun a long time!!!!!

Thanks Stephen - Yours looks awesome in that combo!

However I cannot shake the feeling that a lighter tone would marry itself a lot better with Light Bugatti blue ...
I hunted on Yarwood's website and this seems to fit better:

than what i assume you have:

Osten, you are correct, the lighter Camel color does look better with the light blue.

Yes, the Honey is what I have. I selected the Ivory color for the exterior for a few reasons, none of which are because I love the look.

1. It, Ivory or white, show dirt the least.

2. Ivory shows up well against a green vegetation background so people can see it coming (remember it is small in height).

3. When you touch Ivory or white colored cars that have been in the sun they will not burn your hand or forearm.

4. Basic Ivory is easy to color match for touchup as opposed to the beautiful pearlescent color.

Enjoy your 3 wheeler :-)
