As for cream leather, again, it has been covered and my advice, as someone who has had a few of them would be: expect them to be work,
That’s helpful thanks.
What about the “rich tan” soft leather? Is that easier to look after? It is very orange in some photos - does it darken a bit over time?
And does anyone have thoughts on this:
2. Matching leather over the centre tunnel looks great, but what's this like in real life - does it get scuffed (and therefore should we just have carpet)?
I can't comment on the CX leather because I don't have insight into the source of it; however, I would be surprised if the new-MMC aren't using standard automotive grade leather, which like most modern equivalent leathers is designed to not alter in tone over time (aka pigment dyed and protected leather). Far less common is Aniline leather, which does have a tendency to change tone over time. Morgan would previously use any leather you wanted (for instance, I used a furniture leather for one Morgan I owned, which did age and gain patina) but due to lack of experience with the CX, I do not know whether they still allow this level of customisation - your dealer or MMC should be able to advise. With a standard, protected, auto leather, you will not achieve the patination you mention (unlike a saddle leather)
As for the tunnel, same as the seats, knees rubbing against them will cause marks to light leather. So all down to personal choice and the amount of time you want to spend cleaning!
