It is Rocket Red, like my Aero SS, but given the wine analogy it could be likened to Lambrusco as it is certainly red and frizzante!
Beautiful Brian, stunning! Can't wait to see it! And I have never before had to correct your spelling or use of English, but feel this time I really must. Surely you mean "... but given the whine analogy ..."    Thanks Andy, I'll need a lift up to the Works to collect it shortly....

Can I add my congratulations to a fabulous choice of colour? That is going to look so good in the sunshine! I was wondering what upholstery you were going to pair it with too, are you going to keep us all in suspense or spill the beans?
Can we assume that other customer cars are now being built, or is the factory just doing the specials at this stage? Thanks Paul, you'll see the colour in the photos I'll publish shortly. Also, photos of loads of other customer cars that are also being built - Dealers should be able to update you on the position of your order.

Brian, your car will I am sure look fantastic and am looking forward to seeing it in the flesh!
PaulJ, other customer cars are being built. I say this since I was advised by my dealer shortly before Xmas that my car was ready to go into the paintshop, but for a variety of reasons I pushed mine back.
One of the reasons is that living a long way from the factory in SW France I have decided, rightly or wrongly only time will tell, that initial teething problems/failures will make early ownership challenging. I am thinking in particular of drivetrain issues! Thanks also to you Philip. Most, if not all, of the issues have been worked through systematically and solutions found. For instance, I saw the new cush drive that has been developed, as the Harley inspired one gave problems. Apparently it works perfectly and certainly feels a lot smoother to drive than the previous one. If you have any other particular worries, please PM me and I'll update you as much as I can or even get an update from the Works if I don't know the answer.

Perhaps we should all be there at the factory to cheer you on!
If you end up coming up on the train and fancy a lift over from Bham International to the factory...let me know. I need little excuse to go over there! Which reminds me...must be slipping up...not been this month!!

Just downloading the photos from today Asbo!  Your such a tease I've sat glued to my iPad. I hope you haven't posted them on on other generic Morgan websites first

Much appreciate the kind offer Jays, but I know one of the Surrey Posse will drive me up in a Morgan so it's really a no-brainer!

Brian Not much I can add to those pictures, love the colour and looking forward to seeing the m3w and the SS side by side.  Hopefully this will silence all of the doubters. The interior finish looks spot on, have the surrey posse bought you one of the famous jackets they wear to complement it? Seems to missing some light at the moment though have you anything special on order for these? Now all you need is some sun and your away.
