I'm sure the ones at Prescott launch had lockable, the key was inserted under a lift up tab similar to this... https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/94mm-locking-aero-fuel-cap-assembly-satin-aluminiumat least one of the last Roadsters had this version too

This is what was fitted to the +6 I test drove at KH last year. As Jon says it looks very similar as the CBS item ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/05/11/20190817_114122.jpg)

Looking on the bright side at least it doesn't appear to have to be endlessly polished ... More time for the exhausts

Long term, that finish will become a nightmare to keep right, unless you're Drew Pritchard, when imperfections are king.
Black wheels are the same...…...they never look clean for long, just like black shiny cars.
I may not appear to be lazy, but I prefer easy wipe finishes. So gloss paint every time, and stainless wires every time, although the new CX alloys do look good.

I did toy with the idea of having a Matt bodied car with gloss wings and a shiny bonnet. Trying to replicate a leather body clad car. Then thought about how much time it would take to clean the car let alone having to use different shampoos and worrying about splashing the paintwork with the incorrect shampoos. I agree Dave easy clean, shiny paint. But I do like black wheels.

although the new CX alloys do look good. When searching for the perfect trad Morgan stainless wire wheels were a definite. If I bought a new plus four it would definitely have alloys, o, and it would be automatic, because it's not a trad, is it?

Tarka the Plus 8 has alloy wheels and is automatic.
It looks like a Trad, which I love.
It isn't a Trad, which I love.
It is a Morgan, which I love.

I agree Dave easy clean, shiny paint. But I do like black wheels. I think the way to achieve the fabric body look would be to buy the car with the required gloss finish, then have the body wrapped with a leathercloth look matt vinyl wrap. It could look wonderful, and would be cheap to do and easy to look after. While you are at it you could have the bonnet wrapped in a polished aluminium look as well. Dark blue would work really well.... Hmm.

It is a Morgan, which I love. Exactly, it's why I would choose a different options list for my (fantasy) CX car, I also wouldn't have considered a car the colour of Tarka until I seen it, now I would, it's stunning. Might not look as good on a plus four though.
