It doesn't have the necessary apertures in the rear vallance for a luggage rack/spare wheel holder and if you removed the rear panel you would have no high level brake light so I don't think so.
It's all for show but pretty. The brake light of the Morgan 4/4 sports is placed higher, directly under the hood. The brake light of our object of desire is integrated part of the cover plate and placed much lower. That's why I think they used the electrical connections of the gooseneck brake light, and I bet you can mount a spare wheel. The attachment for the luggage rack could have been removed. They would have to have replaced the vallance as two 1" holes have to be drilled to accept the carrier. They would have mentioned the luggage rack and spare wheel had there been one  The neat repeater brake light on my Sport was one of the nice features on mine but I don't care for the Easy up roof out of choice or round mirrors. The colour choice and combination is just perfect  . Fortunately it takes all sorts to exercise their own individual choices  Those clear indicator lenses and spotlamps would have to go for sure.

Nice car, but why is that caramel-coloured tan leather so popular, especially in combination with BRG? I would vastly prefer mulberry, dark saddle brown or even black rather than this. So do I ! ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/y83kNq2W/IMG-4719.jpg)

You can get an ARP4 for not much more & that is a Cosworth engined rocket if that is your thing.

They always strike me as far too blingy somehow..they look like someone has tried to customise a standard car and it hasn't come off..

Agreed. Maybe an ARP4 owner on herecan comment but I don't see it as an easy daily drive

Have to disagree, I love my Tan leather  ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/09/09/F85E706A-1607-415F-929B-861443B7A4D8.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/09/09/B2A0ED5C-020D-42D1-A97B-59B8E1914EE6.jpg)

It looks perfect Craig, that steering wheel of yours is a beauty too.
The pristine condition of your car still takes me by surprise being a patination person, all your efforts are well worth it, it’s the smartest car on the TM block.

The reason that Saddle Tan And Black Leather are popular is that they were/are no cost options.
The contrast of the tan leather with the grey paint was the first thing that drew my attention to my car. If it had Black leather I probably wouldnt have bought the car as Black leather doesnt appeal to me.
Its personal choice however and I accept that some people prefer Black leather.

I like her a lot in this combination of colours. Very expressive and straightforward, like a good black motorcycle leather jacket. Good thing we all have different tastes. Dark brown or cognac would also be cool with the green.
