To top it all?

Posted By : David Freeman, 18-Nov-2003, 03:53pm

In the murkier corners of my brain I seem to remember some discussion about a fibreglass hardtop for a convertible 13/60. Or am I going barmy? I'm sure some sharp entrepreneur would have made them in the past...it makes sense as there were so many convertibles made....but are they made/available today? Just a thought....

Hi David,
There have been a number of different aftermarket hardtops produced over the years. Someone will have the manufacturers names to give you, sorry I just don't have the info. The only one which has been available recently is the one by Honeybourne mouldings, not the most elegant of styles in my opinion. There has been some question of availability following rumours of a recent fire at their factory. Best to speak to Honeybourne for the facts rather than speculation.
Cheers,
Bill.

  David like most things they come up quite regularly on ebay but who and where makes them I don't know. I'll have a look at home tonight and let you know.
