It is much like a mutant combination of the easy up and traditional, but with two very significant differences.
1. There are side frames that slot into the body immediately behind the door and onto the screen rail. These are body colored and quite substantial. The hood clips to these side rails, making the roof frame far more rigid than on any other Morgan and the windows seat into them like a framed door, reducing wind noise a lot.
2. When folded away it disappears 100% into the space behind the seats and is hidden by the boot clams-shell.
I drove the white and red demmo cars with the roof up and from the inside the rood is tight, there is no movement in the wind and it is much quieter. I think there is also a semi rigid panel in the hood, between the layers, so that the front part cannot flap in the wind, but I'm not 100% certain. In any event the hood is almost drum skin tight.
A proper hard top is an option, but I've not seen it.
All in all more like the hood on a 1970s Merc SL than any previous Morgan, it looks good up, wonderful down and for the winter a hard top is available.
To me this makes it the best of both worlds and if I had the money...which I don't....I'd be thinking very hard.
