I prefer the look of the trditional hood but the convenience of the "easy up" hood.
But having looked at the hood on the new MX5 it is time MMC moved to the "Ever Dry Easy Up".
The MX5 hood can be pulled into place in about 5 seconds whilst sitting in the driver's seat and clipped down. No need to get out....!
I could do that on my 1984 series 3 Alfa Spider
