Hi Guys
If anybody else gets to the factory in the next few days, can i request copious pix of the finished cars.
just paid my invoice so my M3W should be there somewhere !!!
Sport sand, checked, cowl strap, MOG decal, black (not bright) pack
Being in New Zealand and only seeing them on the web has been frustrating. Would like to see what colour Sport Sand really Is !!!!!
Got another 6-8 weeks delivery time to go and champing at the bit. Plus weather is now deteriorating in a wetter than wet autumn !!

I picked Sport Sand with Tan leather, now that I have the car I think it looks good, I'm pleased with it.

Hi ivanford
I have opted for the Tan (Saddle Brown?) leather as well. nice to hear the combo looks good. There havent been many posts of pictures with that pairing in TM.
Morgan agent in NZ is in CSouth island and i am in the north so not so easy to communicate so have spend much time on TM seeing what i can.

I also ordered a black mohair tonneau cover, I don't have the chrome pack, I think it looks better without it.

I have the PVC tonneau, possibly more servicable in the wet?
but got carried away and added cowl strap. Also hope to get car cover, luggage rack delivered with the car.
Freight/post far too expensive if was to buy later from the shop but would be hopefully no cost if packed with the car.
Havent mentioned the "accessories" to the missus yet !!

I wanted a rack, but they wern't available yet when I got the car picked up last week. You have to drill the roll bars and put in captive nut inserts. These are what hold the rack on. It might be best to have the factory fit it for you.

I might get an indoor cover, but I think it's very expensive.

I agree re the costs of items in the shop ! especially with our exchange rate even though its the best (for me) that its been for a long time.
I believe/trust that the rack is to be fitted by the factory.
I am going for an outdoor cover as will want to use if take car to work and/or for touring . Try to keep the detailing to a minimum. Looks like lots of nooks and crannies to keep clean

From what I've heard, the plastic caps on the wheels were added for conformity / 'elf and safety' reasons because the spinners stick out beyond the 'wheelarches' (mudguards).

I think mine will fall off very soon after the car arrives by some cruel accident with some cutters, just as the bolt preventing the steering wheel being removed will have a similar fate!

My plastic hub caps have fallen off already as has the long bolt on the steering wheel. My front number plate seems to be missing as well.
