I think the Paul Simmonds hood evolved and became the current Morgan factory 4 seater hood
Might be wrong about that but it certainly looks similar and this is the sort of information that will hopefully come up in the research
Mine has a Simmons "easy-up" hood conversion, done in the late 90s, iirc. I'll see if I can remember to take some pictures, it's certainly (slightly) less ungainly than the original from the side view, but the conversion involved doing away with the rear sidescreens, replacing them with zip-in clear plastic attachments to the hood itself) and rear-three-quarter vision is compromised somewhat. It also requires a bit of a fiddle to fold the thing elegantly enough so that it sits behind the seats without the catches on the header rail becomign a hazard to back-seat passengers of limited stature. One day I'll get round to having a proper hood cover made; for now, a bit of intricate origami with the tonneau cover provides both a tidy cover and some cushioning...

Like the hood arrangement, similar to the ones that Simmonds made.

I Have a '99 4 seater with Simmonds hood and use the side screens at the back as it cuts down turbulence for the rear seat jockeys (my lads) I have the zip in side rear screens but hardly ever use them, however it will soon be too small for said lads because they are huge, what I need is a modern 'snobmog' - I perceive a hole in the market here, see if I can post a pic in full Simmonds touring gear. http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd49...zps7309306d.jpgmight work - anyway what with the American Tourister luggage and Simmonds cover, the boat bag and the lads in the back this is one loaded Moggie

That is a nice car - very quick. I seem to remember seeing it in the MSCC sprint series when we went to Curborough to spectate.
