That's one of the Simmond EasyFit hoods I think?

Ah, yes. Are those rear sidescreens just flexible parts hanging from the hood or are they proper solid sidescreens?

My hood from Allon White has similar flexible 'rear windows' ...in my case they popper into tje hood and fix to the body ... on my recent road trip they worked really well in some biblical weather! K ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2023/08/15/20230815_093946.jpeg)

K ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2024/11/24/IMG_6753.jpeg) We never sufferd water ingress from the rear, the original setup with small sidescreens at the rear and the three screens in the soft top provides excellent view. This hood was made im mohair by a dutch upholstery from who does also boats. So he is used to lift-the dots etc. Excellent work! But we seldom have to use it (even less now we use the PlusFour as main Morgan).

We had to adept. Truth is that you use the easy-up hood of a modern Morgan more often than the rather complicated and time consuming 4-seater roof. But the tonneau-cover of the 4-seater did compensate a lot!

Nick,if you want a 4 seater of that vintage then this looks to be a good one. Low milage but used enough to stop the problems of the garage candy option. All interior trim is lovely and its a good looking quality hood with probably removeable rear side screens.
Think it'll have the ford CVH engine Xr3i varient and will go like a scolded cat! plus servicing and cam belts are a doddle. change the oil no later than 5000 miles and it will reward you well.
I like it, more than most I.ve seen and it's a good time to negotiate a deal!

Nick, it seems a very neat and cared for 4-seater. You can fold down the rear seats foor luggage space. Think it has the Ford Zetec 1800 cc engine. Our old 1990 4-seater has the XR3(without i) Ford engine, with carbs, but enough punch with a proper Librands SS exhaust manyfold and sport exhaust. The 4-seater is ideal for traveling!

Looks a nice car, with desirable extras too. 1800 Zetec, Long door, easy access Moto Lita, Simmons hood (4k plus) etc.
