Yep, the John Taylor storm covers are excellent. If the weather's really pants when I'm away from home and the car has to be parked up outside overnight, I will often put the hood up and put the storm cover over the top for maximum protection.
A must-have accessory, definitely.

Probably a stupid question, I haven't got my Morgan yet, but why would one need a storm cover if you have a hood? Just for the rain ingress in the louvres?
No doubt, I will find out. Just wondering. Not a stupid question. It's definitely worth buying a storm cover - leaving a Morgan outside in heavy rain is not a great idea. My new +8 leaks, and most leak. A storm cover is relatively inexpensive and rolls up into a bag which can be kept behind the seats. When I took my last Morgan on holiday to France I kept the hood and sides off for the full 2 weeks of the holiday. But I put the storm cover on overnight to protect from dew and anything else. John Taylor's are the ones to get: http://www.morganhoods.com/id67.html

Can be quicker to put on than the hood, keeps everything out of sight and as has been mentioned, keeps bird poo and tree sap off the inside of the car. More use than a Tonneau, IMHO, if not so good to look at! Peter

I echo everyones comments on these covers  - always have it tucked away behind the seats. Agree with Budster and Stewart.
The cover is v low cost and v v useful.
I keep mine tucked behind my seat - always ready to go!
It takes about a minute to put up.
Highly Recommended.
Mine is a John Taylor. Cost £60.

This is a very good point. If it rains when your car is parked up outside the pub or whatever with the tonneau cover on, when you come to drive off you've got a soaking wet tonneau cover to deal with - and if it's anything like mine, it will have collected a couple of pints of rain on the surface which is not easy to get rid of without half of it ending up inside the car. With a storm cover however, it's a doddle to take it off the car, bundle it up, shove it into a plastic bag, and hang it up to dry when you get home.

I often use my Librands short cover instead of a hood when oarked. Easier to put on. I sometimes have the hood rear mounted and folded to make final fit quicker. Handy in rain squalls. The tonneau cover gets a lot of use and the storm cover provides extea wet safety.
For overnight I prefer the JT long cover.

Understood... I'll be ordering one to go with the Plus 4 (which is being built at the moment😊, if all goes well...)
Thanks!

I echo Peters reply.
So I use my storm cover from John Taylor. For example on a journey when luggage is stored on the side screens behind the seats.
I was happy with the service from John. He made a storm cover with a little bit longer "wings at the doors" so I can use it without side screens und with hood down.
