Speaking strictly as a consumer, the motor vehicles from Sweden that I've owned have had controls placed in unexpected places. In the case of my pre-GM SAAB, there seemed to be EXTRA controls placed in unexpected places.
To be fair, there was never any use of Whitworth hardware, which for all I know I will find on modern Mogs.

Looks nice Charlie I guess you're expecting delivery 2013? I placed my order in January '12 (I think the official date will be December '11, since the dealer already had some stock orders which he converted to customer ones) and I was told to expect summer 2013 at the earliest. I decided not to spec mine yet, as I'm sure I will change my mind 100 times in the next 12 months  Your picture has already made me question my choices again

I don't have any official date as of yet, but I would assume a 2013 delivery date. But then at the dealership yesterday, he said in May/June they are planning on getting the first shipment of customer cars and mine could be in with that. So, I'm not sure what to think. Logicaly, I'm thinking 2013, man-logicaly May/June.

Dealers had to make order commitments back in February last year, and some dealers still have unfulfilled orders available, so if you can find a dealer who has that, then you could be really lucky and get an early delivery, I guess that is what may be happening with yours Mi3W.
By the way, apparently my car is due to be built in week 16, does anyone know what date that is? Logically I would say it could be week beginning 16th April, but it depends when the factory start their year.

As some have just received their orders, potentially they could be week 1? Im not sure how it works, just speculating.

Most factories this side of the "Pond" take week 1 as the first week of January

He did say I was only the third person to place their down payment, so this is a possible scenario! And the 16th week of this year is the week starting April 16th.

I placed my order/deposit for a three wheeler last March, I was informed I was the first from a US customer when I visited the factory. A month before Jay Leno! It will join my '53 +4, 4pl flat rad DHC, '59 +4 race car and '67 +4 2pl, my street car. I will ask for a Carmon Red Metallic colour, which has a Porsche color designation, M3W... appropriate? My build date was first to be mid-March this year. The delays are building and the current estimate is July. I hope to visit the factory for the build, but am not able to travel at will. Wish me luck!
Has anyone seen the tonneaus, is the plastic one tatty?
Aero steering wheels with Morgan Logo?
I will immediately repaint the Cycle fenders from black to body colour.
We need to look for tuned stainless exhaust systems!
Keep smiling, I am awaiting my build/delivery!
