The best advice I can offer is visit the factory and chat. The actual options
available are near infinite and thus only a few are listed on the options list.
I recommend:-
No door handles - don't need them and they can rust. Also looks better
without.
Standard seats, not the folding and reclining type. The Owen designed
seats are more comfortable and less thick thus take up less room.
I am glad I took leather - looks and feels better. Choose a dark colour
such as 1934 Brown which actually looks better with age.
A clock is useful as it's tough reading your watch in Winter with
gauntlets on. Cigarette lighter is also very useful.
Radio - no point, can't hear it.
If you want a luggage rack make sure it's stainless steel.
I went for, and am happy with, aluminium body and rear wings, steel
front wings. This way near maximum corrosion protection but stronger
and thus safer front wings for accident protection.
No bonnet strap - looks good but wears the paint away on the bonnet.
Chrome bumpers:- look much better but can rust after a few years. I'm
still glad I have them after 10 years.
These are all that immediately comes to mind, hope they help.
Manfred.

Subject: New Morgan options
We are soon to reach the top of the waiting list, and would like input as to
which of the many build options are worthwhile and which one can live
without. I realise that many choices will be made on subjective basis, but
since we have never owned a Mog before, we'd welcome any views. The car has
to be a four-seater, which nowdays sems to mean the Plus 4.
