After 14 years, a whole new much brighter appearance with purple/red replacing classic green. First 3 are the 2026 second delivery day and the last 2 are from the first delivery in 2012.
Triggers for the change were various cracks/breakages (wishbones/fuel tanks) plus a need to address deteriorating paintwork (especially around rivets following the chassis change and the fact that the powder coating on the second chassis left a lot to be desired).
The new colours? Marian (owner) was jealous of some other M3Ws with dramatic paint jobs and took inspiration from a Jenny Joseph poem ("when I am an old woman, I shall wear purple with a red hat ...")
Thanks to Craig @ M3W Services UK for lots of hard work and organising the new paint/leather.
Extensive trip plans are now in hand for the next few months including Isle of Wight, Northern Spain and Grindelwald
