     All one uniform color, regardless of shade
     Inside: unbroken material, no tufts sticking out
     Patina: well-used
     
Seriously, the most impressive Morgan I've ever seen is owned by Jacquie 
Lightfoot, a member of the MSCC in the UK. Her car is cream colored, but the 
back end is aluminum, the interior tatty. I sat down with her at the MOG96 meet 
in Dudley last year and she regaled me with a story of rebuilding the beast in 
her front parlor, beating out the panels herself, putting it back together, 
getting a bunch of similarly inclined folks over for drinks one night and 
carrying the car downstairs and outside and putting the wheels on. Could be a 
load of bull, but one look at the car and it seemed plausible to me and she was 
a delightful lady who made a visiting Yank feel welcome at this great Morgan 
event. The Brits are unlike a lot of us. They like their cars like most people 
like their shoes--- well-lived in and reflecting their owners. That's the best 
color of all!
