      Ian,
      No idea! Never seen one like it!
      And there's nothing like that in probably the best index of hardtops, at the Amicale Spitfire website.

      Please submit your pic there and report back in an ID if one can be given.

        Absolutely horrendous looking hard top! I have seen these on E-bay a couple of times but unfortunately I can't remember what they are called. In my humble opinion I think the value of the car would increase by 2 grand if he took it off!
        
        it reminds me of -
        a) a frog
        b) 1920 fighter pilot with his/her goggles on his noggin!
        
        
        
        ugh...... i feel sick lookin at it

            I'm not sure I understand a convertable hard top that does it's best to imitate a retracted soft top. Perhaps this inventor also came up with the idea of installing modern convertables with airconditioning. I might be missing something?

          Very X1-9
          Now, if the rear section doubles as a roll bar, I'd be really interested.

            With shorter hair I could pass as Joe 90.

            That is a german hardtop, very rare.
            
            I had one and sold it within seconds of mentioning I had it, the guy drove straight up from Bristol to collect it before I changed my mind!
