Another view – taller driver. Eyes are about 2-3" above the steering wheel.

and here I thought I was the one obsessing about this car... Don't get me wrong.... I love the apparent steering wheel position and how it would contribute to the cockpit feel. With a vehicle like the 3W, much of the fun is in the discovery and appreciation of the well-conceived details? Besides, obsessiveness is a virtue! (Right?)

On the topic of the steering wheel, Morgan once indicated that the production version would not be the Momo but rather a traditional wooden one, if I recall correctly. Or at least a choice. Can anyone confirm what's being used on production 3Ws?

I think it's perspective.
That wheel looks very thick - I think it's a LHD with MH sitting in the passenger (right hand) side.
The camera viewpoint is also low, making the closer wheel look quite high compared to MH.

Cheers, Well sussed Graham, I think your absolutely right  did make look twice at first and I assumed/wondered whether he was slumped down in the seat.

Matt's fine.......he's not the tallest of guys so the photo is a bit misleading. I'm 5'9" and can see over the wheel and bonnet of the M3W with no trouble...so worry not Steve!
