Richard did you have the cap on the correct way round on your test drive, the peak is apparently supposed to be rearwards? Nice paint & leather colour combination but not the quilting. Fluted leather is the right way to go. I associate quilting with gentleman's dressing gowns as Mr Holmes but each to his own.

Thanks you've given me an idea for period summer wear
Reminds me of an eccentric flat mate back in the 70's, he bought for peanuts an old Healey 100/6 with a badly torn hood. In rainy weather he drove it top down wearing his Mothers old fur coat!
