Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - who will rid me of this meddlesome piece

Morning all. It being hot and dry I decided to paint the inside of the easy up roof and to facilitate this, removed it. I was shocked to discover how heavy it is. Having done the deed and left it to dry it then occured to me that I preferred the clean lines without it and so am intending to see how long I can go topless. Actually I can't remember when I last erected it . I had already made an everflex cover for the luggage compartment which simply attached to the header rail or to the inside of the bodywork and now am going to see if I can make a half tonneau cover.When I had my Plus Four
I found the tonneau cover to be a bit of faff and so quickly stopped using it . I imagine that there must be a Roadster half tonneau cover out there somewhere and I seem to remember a photo of a car so equipped but a simple cover properly attached with the right fixings must be doable. Has any one other than Dave done this ?

I have done around 55,000 miles without the roof up on my +8. Recently completed a 4000 mile round trip to Vancouver Island from Colorado without the roof and side screens, always wear my white cloth flying helmet and "Beau Geste" style hat with a big peak to protect me from the wind noise and sun. Driving on the back roads of America is an absolute blast and best enjoyed with no roof or side screens. Rolling along at a steady 70 across the open high plains on a two lane road for 120 miles with absolutely no habitation, just a few other vehicles with large white puffy clouds in a deep blue sky and distant snow capped mountains is straight out of the movies. Mind you there are a hell of lot of bugs to clean off the windscreen and front of the Moggy after each day!!!!!

Thank you for the help Richard
