Picked her up today, since I sold my trackday 325 I was desperate to get my hands on a convertible and here it is, has a hardtop which is a good job as the roof is Kapput, can anyone recommend a supplier to supply, or possibly fit near Milton Keynes

Have you tried ebay for a supply and fit? there are a few on there. I can't vouch for the quality or rep though as never used them.

Nice convertible i must say! I just got my hands on one for the summer body is not as nice as yours though. what other plans you got after you've sorted the hood?

Thanks guys, I have seen them on the net, wondering if it's a possible DIY job?

How are your skills in dressmaking, sailmaking, cabinet fitting and the like? If excellent, then give it a go! If not so good, pay a little more for someone else to struggle with it!

Ah I hear you are a man that knows, who do you recommend to buy from and to do it?

I need to talk to you about a stand for the hardtop as well, is there a best way to get in touch?

Yes mate, makes a lovely noise, I have found someone local to fit one from Carhoods and try and rescue my seats at the same time
