A bit more power & 8000rpm redline
Dials that don't mist up - they didn't today, something's wrong.
A V8 soundtrack from a V6
More MPG HaHa.
Otherwise it's perfect.

These would be nice........
A bit more room in the footwell, perhaps even a footrest.
Lockable storage as standard rather than aftermarket/afterthought.
Quick release wheel nuts.
Self greasing kingpins.
Doors that stay open.
But then it wouldn't be a Morgan............
So I'll stick with what I've got thanks!

what would it be? What aspect of the design would you most like altered? Despite what the Factory say, I would like more attention to QA and build detail. Better? it might be. Good?- it ain't ( well not always) Simple little examples suffice: mild steel screws when brass should be used; very poor finishing of things such as edges etc when it is quite obvious that a madman with a tin snips has been let loose; truly dreadful hoses G

Simple little examples suffice: mild steel screws when brass should be used; very poor finishing of things such as edges etc when it is quite obvious that a madman with a tin snips has been let loose; truly dreadful hoses Your comments are distressing, and cause me to wonder what to expect with regard to my 3W's build quality. Morgans are too costly to have the sorts of problems you mentioned, and such comments are contrary to the perception of an exclusive hand-built brand. GLLHG, do you have an older Morgan, maybe? Could quality have improved in recent years? When my 3W arrives, I'll be 100 miles from the closest dealer, and would be extremely disappointed by shoddy/sloppy build quality. What do you mean by "truly dreadful hoses?" What other quality flaws should one routinely expect to encounter? Do others concur with your assessments? Please be candid, since this represents a significant purchase for me – thank you!

Steve...I can only comment on my new 4/4 Sport as its the only experience I have of Morgans. I've been round the factory a few times to closely watch the cars being built and so accept that they are hand built with the little foibles that might incur. Its part of the Morgan experience that I wanted. That said, coming from the world of BMW sports cars, Z3, Z4, I am pleased with the quality of my car, the panels are nicely made, interior trim the same and my hoses certainly seem ok!
I've had a very close look at the 3W...the show one and it looked well put together. Very few hoses and a body that is superformed gets round a couple of issues raised in the previous posting!
