All new Trad Morgans were given an owners hand book with the service record (for future dealer stamps) as part of the dispatch pack, the selling dealer would then complete the VIN nr, colour, key nrs, etc during PDI in the front of the book for the first owner
So a 3.7 Roadster should definitely have one

My 4/4 is also from 2014 and the pvc easy up feels still very good. I have had Morgans with a mohair roof as well, I personally prefer the pvc roof. it looks sportier to me, and it dries much faster to be able to open it after the rain. With the roof closed, both types of soft top are loud, I can't tell the difference.

I also prefer the pvc hood. Much easier to work with. The duck hood on my present car is heavy and unweildy
In comparison. It also takes ages to dry.

I'll take a pvc hood any day over a mohair hood. Had them for decades on our Mercedes Cabriolets and found the now increasingly wetter winters never allowed the hood to fully dry out, to have the roof down without creasing the hood. So such so the wife has gone to a folding tin top and the difference is marked in how often we can have the roof down now compared to the mohair hoods on the convertibles.

With a pvc hood you just wipe it down with a leather after the rain and can put it straight down, far more practical.

Another vote for the Everlast/PVC. You can also get a lovely shine on it.

Hey
Finally the car I saw had his maintenance book, included all bills.
One book for all.
Sorry for that mistake.
