Thanks for taking the trouble to read thus far - I am exceptionally pleased with my Roadster - it's unusual in my experience to finally acquire something you've wanted for a very long time and then NOT discover there are elements that may be slightly negative.
Of course, I suppose that's just the 'Just Married' thing, but hey, it's extremely good so far, haven't smiled as much for years.
Anyway, to the points:

1. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice on the retro-fitting of a starter button as opposed to the steering column key?

2. I've read various posts on fog / spot lights; I'm undecided (currently no spotlights) but my mental 'image' of a Morgan always included them. However, that was back in the days of having a front bumper and I'm not convinced as to how spots would attach without a bumper (fender) bracket. Any advice greatly valued.

Ben, my advice is leave the ignition key vs start button alone - I've spent many hours trying to diagnose & cure a friends 3.7 that used to go a bit flaky on restart when switched off in long hot queues of traffic, he has a button start, mine is key only

Spotlights on non bumper cars were often fitted by just drilling the alloy wings, not ideal with all that vibration and leverage from the weight of the spot, I've seen starcracks in the paint on some
