We know many things about Richard Hammond. We know that he loves American muscle cars, he like motorcycles, he gets attacked by May and Clarkson because of his tastes regarding certain automotive things. We also know that he loves Morgans and not just in his words. He has owned a bunch of them and it turns out he has just bought another one and it is being hand built at this exact moment in England. But, there’s a hitch.
This is not some bullshit made up for TV thing. Hammond is buying the car with his own money and for his own fun. He wanted a red interior in it and now he is having second thoughts and is thinking that blue could be the way to go. Rather than go back and forth himself, he is enlisting the world of YouTube to help him make the decision.
The best part of this video is not seeing the interior renderings, it is seeing the Morgan plant and the fact that it is humming along with hand built cars! Between the chassis that are being assembled and the cars in the final stages of shipping, there are dozens of Morgans in the little old-school factory. THEY STILL PUNCH LOUVERS BY HAND.
This is great fun.
Is this a joke? The man’s got a pile of cars and the money to buy a new car, but not the ability to pick out his own damn interior? Really? You ought to be ashamed for even considering posting something as stupid as this. I’d have more respect for you if you posted something about the NHRA PRO STOCK, and I hate PRO STOCK.
It NEVER occured to you that this is publicity for Drive Tribe, and has nothing to do with his ability to choose interior color?
Like a British soldier during the American War for Independence, it should be bright red…to hide the blood stains. He tends to hurt himself in cars. 🙂
Great video of the way cars were once built. I love Morgans! It’s great to see workers with pride in their work and true craftsmanship. Let the haters hate, and the clueless not get the value of the video…(and red’s the only way to go!)
I liked seeing how the Morgans are being built as I helped restore one at the first auto body shop I worked at. Go with the red interior Richard.
I prefer the black of my \’70 Plus 8!
Richard, hamster, mate, please go with the RED
He is buying the car with his own money as a tax deduction.
Stupid questions deserve stupid answers it should be Day glow Yellow with Silver highlights.
Then every time he sees it it will remind him to not ask stupid questions….
