Hard Top

I am looking for a hard top for ECK. I would prefer it if it was colour matched. ECK is a dark metallic British Racing green. I would, however, also be happy with a black hard top, at a push. After the last four months of rain and misery, I don't want to go through it again. I cannot garage ECK so it has to sit in the wet for as long as the wet chooses to last.

If anyone has one they want to get rid of, or knows of one going, I am in the market.

Thanks.

I have a black heritage hardtop for sale if your interested

Did he forget to mention the Union flag motif on the inner line Dave? :lol:

What's your budget?

Should be a good time of year to get a bargain.

I hadn't even considered a budget, Clive. They seem to go for anywhere from £200 to £400. As a student nurse, closer to the lower number would be good, but after sitting through the last wet winter worrying about the canvas top taking all the punishment that it did, I am more interested in getting a hold of one, as long as the price isn't ridiculous. If it is at the cheap end, I may get it resprayed to match the car.

£250?

There is one on .org, but it is collection from Lancs.

Thanks for that, Clive. I have registered with .org now, so I hope the guy still has it when I can post there. West Lancs is fine - not that far away.

Well, I'm disappointed in the anti hard-top brigade. Previously you would have had a tirade of ' it's a convertible: my hard top has been in Granny's greenhouse nurturing broccoli for the last 12 years because I just luuuuurve open air motoring. I am pure. I am MG ' etc etc etc.

Note: my personal best for disconnecting the HRW and flipping the HT off (4 clips) on those crisp dry winter days when you need the hood down and heater on full: 42secs. Takes longer to put me socks on at my great age.

Putting it back on, aligning and clipping in place: just over a minute. Go figure.......

Hard top: a more pleasant winter experience.

Just my opinion. :yesnod:

(Awaits angry mob armed with torches and pitchforks) :coat: no threat, 'cos they'll be hypothermic after the winter. :tada:

John - the anti crew are welcome to their opinion. After the state that my soft top got into through the wettest winter in God knows how long (mould inside, stained outside), a hard top is an essential for me. My car doesn't have the luxury of a garage, so there are no other choices. And I agree - a more pleasant winter driving experience. :drive:
