Should we encourage our friends?

I agree with Charles. The pram hood is absolutely delicious, but having owned two (non-Austin) cars in similar condition, I found myself constantly 'maintaining' bits of trim that fell off or parts that decayed en-route. Losing another bit of paint every time you close the door, is somehow dispiriting. I too hope it is conserved by someone with the time to look after it and without the need to use it too extensively.
