I'm putting a replacement roof on my cabby on Sunday. I went for the used approach and bought it on the frame as opposed to a new roof. Easier to fit, can be done by less skilled people.
New roof is generally about £600 fitted for a decent one.

Thanks. Was thinking of going down that route but hard to find one in blue. Also have to trust the sellers description, unless I am lucky and find one local !

All depends on budget? I would not skimp on this one as you want it to last a long time? Second hand is your best bet for value imo. Otherwise bite the bullet and get it done properly.

£774 fitted just week or so ago. Superb roof, very well fitted.
Central Scotland area. Highly recommended.

Did that include seals or just the fabric and fitting ?
