This is something that has always puzzled me - given the different climates
between Italy and England, why is it that the similar era Italian
convertibles (the Fiat Spider also has a good hood), have so much better
hoods than the British ones??

Wouldn't you expect a decent hood to be important for an British car.... 
:-))

Not that I should be rude about the weather - it's pissing down again here,
although it is the middle of winter.... even though my cars have roofs it's
only the Croma that keeps the rain out properly.
