John Smythe
Heritage Coach Works, Mississauga

I have not spoken with him for several years, the last # I have for him is 905-456-7575.
He builds magnificent tops & tonneaus for Cobras. I believe he was the original supplier for Johnex & all the subsequent owners of Johnex.
He did mine & it is the best I have ever seen on any Cobra, I believe they call the material (stayfast?) a cloth material they use on high end convertibles. Expensive but very good quality.

Craig I called them yesterday but couldn't understand what the gentleman was saying,he had a strong accent and was mumbling and was not talking loud enough so I called back and hopefully I will understand this time,thanks !

Michel,
John does have a very British accent, Unless he has had a health issue that I am not aware of, I do not remember having any problem understanding him. Perhaps your best bet may be to visit him & have a face to face discussion. That is always good anyway as it eliminates discrepancies

Hi Craig,the voice on my answering machine was totally different from when I called to his business. I don't have a problem with british or irish accent because I work with a lot british guys and some Irish but that voice was one of a dying man. I will try to call back again,thanks for getting back to me on this,cheers !

I have a tonneau cover and top from an early Brackdraft (Venom) that I no longer have a need for.
The tonneau is in excellent condition with the cut out for the roll bar.
I had the top up once or twice (in the garage to see what it looked like!), the ribs are also in good condition.
I would sell them very reasonably.
If interested send an PM.

I have two roll bars and don't know the body dimensions of the Backdraft so it would be like buying pants without trying,I never do that,thanks for the offfer anyway !
