Hello Andreas,
just read your story. Congratulations as well, from Morgan Park in Hamburg.
I would like to give you a small advice to your 20 seconds hood. On one picture in your post of the 16/12/2021 it is visible, that you don`t fold your hood correctly. You should pull the hood (area from above the sidescreens) out to the
back of the car. The way you fold it down the hood can be damaged by the hood rails, which sometimes work like a scissor. We saw many hoods which received a damage by folding the hood down this way.
Have a good time with your new Plus 8 Anniversary. Those are the last built Plus 8`s with Rover V 8 engine.
Kind regrads
Frank from Morgan Park
