Funny how the cold weather renews the hardtop discussion!!
About a month ago I posted a query concerning gull-wing type hard tops, and got very little interest.......
After a lot of study, I found the following:
A. Midstates makes a very good fiberglass hardtop that fits most cobra replicas. Priced about $1500, plus side curtains. Downside: Portly and or tall folks have a tough time geting in or out.
B. The neatest and most trick hard top is the one Perfstan made in the UK. All aluminum, excellent workmanship. Large gull-wing doors make entry and egress easier, large windows and built-in side curtians seal well, and give a good view out. Downside: Pricey, custom made to fit your car, requiring your car to go to England for fitting (not a problem if you are already in England). The trunk (boot) needs to be modified to a 2-piece and/or special configuration.
Still, looks great, and appears to be very desireable.
C. I can't afford an aluminum one, but would be very interested if someone could make a "universal" fiberglass top similar to the excellent aluminum one perfstan makes.
I'll keep looking.........
