My partner dosn't like the sand with tan leather. She thinks I should go with black and tan leather or red and black leather.
Having looked at the bespoke prices again I can't justify the extra expenditure. As for the vinyl decals, I dont like any of them. I want my car to look old fashioned.

I would personally love to see one in carbon fiber. Not sure that I would want a full carbon fiber car, but would be interesting to see how it would look. Would also be interesting to see polished aluminium as was done on the original lotus Mark 6. you have "carbon-look-vynil" now, which DOES look good (realy) and polished alu: needs soms "tender loving care" to remain beautiful  Yes, I have seen cars wrapped in the 3M Carbon Fiber, just wonder what it might look like on a Morgan. It may just look incredibly out of place considering the heritage of the vehicle. I would presume that making the panels out of true CF would be terribly expensive for a (marginal?) weight loss on an already light car. Ive never owned a polished aluminum car, but I can imagine it would show EVERY ding and require a decent amount of upkeep, but I would assume that cleaning it might be extremely easy at the same time. Ive always been a huge fan of the brushed metal look of the DeLoreans, but I recall them having a hard time with dings as well.

How about a rather expensive option? Mercedes Alubeam Chrome paint as on the CL 65 AMG !!

Go for red with black leather, I saw a Roadster Sport at MMC in this combo a couple of weeks ago, my wife nearly had my cheque book out. Agree with you on the decals, I stopped putting " stickers" on my bikes when I got my first fizzer.

Morgan's red looks true, with depth and richness. It would be superb with black leather. Morgan's red (from photos) is as nice a red as I've seen.
The only issue with red is that it can show more degradation over time. And I'd feel that I could knock around a beige car more than a red one.
Still, it's tempting and it would make an incomparable statement.
