When I was going through my notes in order to respond to Ian Bowers's question I noticed that I’d recorded a comment from Mike Collingburn to the effect that hoods were sometimes just a single layer of canvas with no rubber lining. Mike Allison said much the same when I was picking his brains for my article. However, references to the hood in the M.G. publicity material refer to black rubberised twill.
You can see that the hood of the car beside my J2 isn’t exactly made to the standard we expect today!
