Yes John, getting the wheels sprayed black as a saving over the MMC costing as well.

From Williams I see. Whats the logic behind detailing a new car? Surely it should be detailed by the factory?
Any plans for the steering wheel?
Finally care to tell us what the all in cost was in that spec? The list that is. Williams haven't touched the car, as requested and it has swirl marks in the solid colour from factory. I've never collected a new car that didn't suffer from this from any manufacturer. BMW paid £750 towards my detailing costs on my M4 due to the swirl mark damage to the entire car. This Plus Four is pretty good by comparison, so will only need a basic polish. It will be ceramic coated and PPF'd as well. MMC are about to start advertising Mota Lita wheels from factory for >£800. I'm waiting for the conversion Williams are currently prototyping to become available then I'll have to decide on Mota Lita wood or leather! Librands luggage rack is also on the radar.

I dont have a particular problem with keeping black wire wheels clean as I don't tend to go out in wet conditions and the car isnt used much in winter.
Admittedly wire wheels arent the easiest thing to clean whatever colour they are painted. It is only the same as having Black paintwork on a car though. It is difficult to keep a Black car clean but less so on a weekend only car and Black paintwork on a car looks superb when clean. Mine seem to get wet on almost every trip, and taking black wires to the Scottish Highlands was a complete nightmare. They were totally messed up before we got there.

To be fair Dave your trip to the Highlands must have been 300 miles so its not surprising the wheels were totally messed up! In fact the the whole car would be messed up. But every credit to you for going on touring holidays in all weathers. Maybe thats why I dont have a problem with my black wheels though im sure even your stainless wheels would be messed up on those trips! Maybe brown wheels are the answer for touring

Lovely car. When considering buying a Morgan in 2018 my choice of colours was Sports Green with either Tan or Mulberry leather. But I wanted Stainless wheels. In Australia to go for 5 stainless wheels over painted silver was a $3900 option but the same wheels were $600 each from a wire wheel company. So I might have decided to stick with painted silver and buy stainless steel wheels afterwards to save $900 and have a stack of spare wheels.

Hi Tom
Your seats look great. Maybe you could post a photo of the full seat as others on here interested in buying a new Plus Four would be interested. I was surprised that the first Plus Four seats had some adverse comments as the standard seats on the later trads like mine are extremely comfortable. I did sit in a Plus Six and thought that the seat bases seemed rather 'flat' compared to mine.
Having only partial leather interiors on new Morgans is more in line with mainstream luxury cars. When I bought my Morgan I was surprised that ALL the interior was leather as standard including centre console, sills, door panels and backs of the seats. I would imagine the new owners of Morgan thought the same and that maximising profits and extras was their priority on the Plus Four!
Some images of the interior and seats as request. Weather very dull so nothing artistic, but hopefully practical. These updated seats are, in my opinion, better than the 2020 originals, though not perfect. Would I pay nearly £1000 extra for the comfort seats on the 2022 cars? No. Heated seats option is sweet 👌🏼 Delighted at how the interior spec has turned out. Phone makes it look a bit more orange than it is in person. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/1J3cPkc/20210320-150946.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/crVJ7nJ/20210320-150941.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/QF79QmH/20210320-150953.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ibb.co/xMXKVh0/20210319-175119.jpg) online keyboard

That looks great. I love how tall the headrests are.

Have you found any good places to store stuff now there is a useless glovebox & no door pockets or tool tray?

Colour combination is just perfect 😍😍😍
interior is beautiful.
What green is it?
Is it the standard tan leather interior or the expensive leather?

How do you new plus four drivers get along with the narrower space between steering wheel and door, due to the thicker doors? That is where I put my knee in the old 4.
In the wider plus 6 there seems to be at least 10cm / 4 inches more room in that spot.
I’m not sure how comfortable this narrower space would be on a long run.
I really like your spec / colour combinaties Tom!
