Life is great! Have driven nearly 1000km. Still can't adjust the right mirror to show me anything else than just the sky. My dealer will have to bend the mirror arm a bit during the first service.

I'm very pleased with the thin riveted Motolita, leaves more space for my legs than the leather one.

Concerning the color:
I think ivory is ivory. Don't judge the color by the pictures alone. Depends on so many things. (White balance, color temperature, editing,...)
I always use Adobe Lightroom for post production. Sometimes I tend to tune the white balance settings to the "warm" (yellowish) side of the spectrum.
This is great for landscape shots, but not for exact color reproduction.
I even do that with analogue film. Use Fuji Velvia and/or a 81a warm filter. (Graham will understand. thumbs) So it's all fettling with reality, right?

Alex.

Difficult to explain in english but there is an other position
in the base of the rear mirror.You pull on the arm of the rear visor then you push it in the direction of the side screen.I have found a position where i can see something at the back

Yes, it got me as well when I first bought my car. The arm the door mirror is mounted on moves in and out with three detent positions. The further in the arm is moved (sort of up and in!) the easier it is then to adjust the mirror body itself.

I also ended up buying a pair of round slightly convex mirrors in stainless shell from Librands and they certainly help in giving you a better rearward view. You are now going to discover all the extra things you can buy for your Morgan!!

Hehe,
Yes Alex! I'm not the only film user here, though I'm probably one of the very few who has not gone digital (apart from an old free one that was to be scrapped from work - I use it for eBay sales items).

Velvia - shame the 'new' emulsion is not as saturated as the original!

Cheers,

Thanks for that report Alex - sounds great! My comment regarding colours was refering to the MotoLita wooden colour....I have no problem with Ivory/Tan innocent

Edit: Just noticed the way they positioned the screw heads in the MotoLita boss - great work, attention to details!!
