MGA Weather Equipment

A three-bow hood frame with a wooden front hoodstick was attached to the rear quarter side casing behind the doors. The hood canopy was from ICI Vyanide material in black or ice blue on 1500 or early Twin Cam Models this was later altered to include quarterlight panels. With the introduction of the 1600, the hoods material was changed to Wardle's Everflex allowing colours in grey, blue or beige. The tonneau cover was an optional extra for all MGAs and supplied in the same material and colour as the hood. The 1500 models painted black, tyrolite green, or glacier blue could have the combination of an ice blue hood and black tonneau cover.
