I'm on the fence with the hood issue. After seven and a half years with my Roadster I think we've had the hood up twice. Both times due to really heavy rain. Once at the start of a journey and once near the end, but on a motorway so very inconvenient.
So although I'm not in the market for an Aero 8, on the basis that the hood might never get used, it wouldn't bother me if it was a tad fiddly.

But on the other hand I like a mohair hood over a PVC hood, even though I might never use it, and I prefer the easy up over the nine stud traditional hood. So none of this really makes sense.

I suppose that if the ARP4 had been a normal looking trad with a nine stud PVC hood & spare wheel I would have probably bought one. So the hood isn't top of my agenda. I do accept that at £100k you might expect something similar to an MX5 mechanism.
