Hood change - Everflex to Mohair
Following several months of dithering I asked Allon White to fit a new hood and hood cover - and the result is very pleasing; many thanks to Shaun. Looks like a new car again. The previous hood (Everflex in Sand) was surprisingly worn for a 3-year old car. Very marked and with a Tenax fastener missing. The new hood is Chocolate Brown Mohair.

I would imagine it looks very smart in the flesh.

The chocolate brown suits the colour of the car a lot more...very nice. Allon White's are very busy at the moment...I can't get fitted in until early January!

Thanks, chaps. True what you say about A-W's trim shop, Jay; I had to book it in quite some time ago. Anyway, hood folded down now as it looks like being sunny tomorrow, so we're off to Audley End for the day. Nice!

Looks great, you changed the mirrors as well!?
I changed the original 1990 everflex hood on my 4/4 4-seater this year for a mohair one as well, and the appearance is now much nicer, less folds too!
My everflex lasted somewhat longer than your 3 years, but at the end I could see some light at some points where the frame holds the hood. But it was watertight until the end. Not the sidescreens although, that looks a lot improved for the present 4 seater!
Enjoy your renewed Morgan!

Looks great, suits the car, goes well with the interior.
