It is nice to see that quite a few owners use their cars all year round; however, it would be interesting to hear how people use their Morgans in winter from a hood up vs down perspective...

On my own I have half of the tonneau covering the passenger seat. I do the same, with no side screens. However, when Susie is with me we tend to drive with the hood down, but the side screens in place. Bud 4/4 - Stanley

I like to drive mine completely topless but the wife prefers the sidescreens on in all weathers.

I drive in the winter when there is no salt on the road and I don't have a roof or sidescreens. Back in the early 90s drove back in April from Kitzbuhel Austria to Cambridge in the day. Left at 07.00 and it was -8C, tonneau covered in snow and frozen rigid. Frozen cheeks early on and made it back to my local in time for a pint. 850 miles, 15 hours.

No hood no screens and cockpit half covered as often as possible sans salt.
For aesthetics I don’t fit the screens it spoils the whole profile of the car.

For aesthetics I don’t fit the screens it spoils the whole profile of the car. And I have the photographic evidence sent to me today to prove it  (Will post it up later
