Vehicle Identification Number,
Paint Codes and Weights
The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), paint codes and weights can be
found under the left side bonnet: stamped either directly into the vehicle
structure or onto a plate to the side of and below the battery.
Cleaning - Exterior
It is recommended that the paintwork should not be treated with a heavy wax
for a period of three months after the car has been painted. This will allow
the paintwork to ‘breathe’ and cure correctly. During this time the car should
be cleaned regularly and may be treated with a light polish. The bright work
should be cleaned and waxed every time the car is cleaned.
After this initial period, the surface of the paintwork should be thoroughly
cleaned. Any imperfections, such as light scratches, should be removed using a
fine rubbing compound applied with a soft cloth.
NOTICE Polishing compounds must be used carefully as they actually remove
the paint surface. A fine cutting polish can be used to polish road film off the
paint surface.
Do not use cutting polishes that contain ammonia as this may bleach some
pigments. After you are happy that the paint is completely clean, a good
quality wax polish should be used to finish off. You should avoid silicone-based
products and polymer sealers, as these can prevent the paint from ‘breathing’.
Use a traditional wax polish which may require a little more effort, but the
result is worth it. After the initial polishing of the car, it is most important to
keep the paintwork and chrome work clean and well waxed.
NOTICE Be sure not to get polish or oil on the brakes when cleaning. Your
dealer will be happy to provide advice about the best materials to use when
cleaning your car.
Cleaning - Interior
Leather and wood veneers may be cleaned using a damp, clean microfibre cloth.
WARNING Excessive direct sun light, heat and exposure to moisture
will cause damage to interior materials and specifically to the
leather used in your car.
If the two tone interior pack is specified, the fabric material should be
vacuumed regularly. For a deeper clean, wipe with a damp cloth using soap and
water or use propietary upholstery shampoo.
Cleaning - Mohair Hood
Wash the mohair hood with a soft, mild soap and clean warm water using a
microfibre cloth or very soft nail brush. Clean in the direction of the material.
Rinse off with plenty of clean water.
Mirrors
Your Morgan is fitted with two door mounted and one windscreen mounted
rear view mirror. To adjust the door mirrors move the mirrors on the stalks
until they are in the desired position.
NOTICE Never force the movement of the mirrors, this may cause damage to
the mirrors or their mounting surfaces.
