Morgan in front of an old gate
Today, I made a short trip through a little ghost village, that will be breaked off in a few years for a brown coal opencast mining. It is depressing there, but a lot of possible foto motifs for classic morgans

Great shot - lid on and no sidescreens somehow makes it look a lot more period. Absolutely agree  , but I have a quick question. Running with no sidescreens and hood up, doesn't the car fill with air and "balloon" the hood, or at least put severe strain the hood/frame attachment points? I have a 4-seater (so large hood) and no zip-out back window.

I have a 4-seater (so large hood) and no zip-out back window. Not on my four seater. Provides great shade  Only done it a few times (once at highway speed) but no issues.

Like the pic, Also no issues running highway speed top up no sidescreens. Mind you only done once got caught away from home and started to rain. But no ballooning at all.

Thanks for the reassurance, chaps. We had a sunny +21 here today so gave it a try to 70mph and no problems.
Mike K - sorry to go off-topic but, as you see, we all like the car and the setting.

Thanks for all your positive replies. It was only a short trip (approx. 10 miles) with hood on by max. 50 mph, so I got no problems with the attachment points.
