Many thanks Cameron - these are extremely useful.

I am, however, confused about where to go with this. A hardtop for the Harrison 'could' (it seems) be adapted from the CR version (if available?) but a good deal of work would be needed to fabricate it, front and rear. It would also need to be lined internally. Also, it is best to do these things BEFORE painting I gather, to avoid scratching. Further, the hard top has limitations in use, storage and removal. I had one before on an MGA and a Merc SL. Great if you are going to leave it on for sustained periods.

So a softtop? I am told that there are no longer available any bows and frames for the Harrison through Snakebite or Warwick Harrison. No more are being made at this stage. One would need to be specially fabricated. I guess I could try to borrow one and get a copy made?

This is becoming an unexpected problem!
