Black leather is hard wearing, doesn't show stains and is easy to patch colour, so it is always top of my list.
If your Morgan gets used over distances, it's the easy option.

Black leather is hard wearing, doesn't show stains and is easy to patch colour, so it is always top of my list. I think the 'right' choice of leather colour is not only quite a personal thing but is also heavily influenced by the paint colour too. Craig's tan/ivory combo looks fantastic, and of course Dave's quite right, black is the colour of choice for practicality. Whenever I go to the MMC configurator for a bit of daydreaming, I always end up going for Sport Green/Mulberry. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/09/10/Plus_Four_1.md.jpg)

I agree with you completely, Hamwich. And there is another aspect...in which decade was the personal fashion and taste for colors formed. For example, I would place the combination BRG/Mulberry, which I find very good, in the sixties. In contrast, I would see Craig's also very beautiful combination stylistically originated in the 1920s...even if it is an evergreen until today and still shapes the taste. I think of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Gladly cream or beige and tan colors were also combined with darker brown.
BTW my first Morgan was Indigo with Mulberry. At the time I was a bit unhappy about my choice of combination. But together with BRG or black Mulberry looks very appealing to me today.

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. Thank you Richard +1

My first Plus 8 had a Magnolia leather interior and provided you treated it annually it was fine and looked great ( no signs of degradation in 24,000 mls) with the Connaught green exterior. When I last spoke to the present owner he was still happy with the car.
I'd buy another if it was the "right" car and tan wasn't available.

Well Craig, a picture is worth a thousand words, I'll get some of that ordered up to try as I still use saddle soap  as I like the smell of natural leather. Does the true leather smell return once the perfume has subsided ?

Just another fine example of why this car is the best possible colour combination, this time on display in Lake Garda area  Posted on FB earlier by Philip Capel.. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/09/10/pca.jpg)
