These really are dead rare but don't look anything special as they are fabric covered.

I've got some pics that I'll post later

Is it not just the bit they cut off with some magnets attached to it to hold it on?
Not magnets or even hens teeth,I understand that overcentre clips are used and the 'hardtop' is a moulding made for the purpose.

I had a Baur and didn't know these existed - I like it very much
As I get older I realize that you can't please everyone - pissing everybody off is however a piece of cake
