Paul....
Paul....

That is one bluddy awful looking hardtop ... in fact it's not a hard top at all ....It's a fast back thingy .... since when did a cobra have one of them on em.

Typical made in pommy land junk.

Only joking. I'm as jealous as **** Paul. Better yet, I'm rapt the quality is as we expected. Very bluddy nice.

Hey Paul,

The Main rear window Black edging steps up at the top is this for improved rear vision or provision for mounting a high mount stoplight from Dave???

Thanks Les (I think!). Dave informs me that the hardtop was moulded from an original 1963 AC, pictured below. More original cars with hardtops here.

No idea mate, I have only spent about 30 mins looking at the hardtop and although I did notice that contour, I haven't removed the rear glass from the plastic yet. Will let you know when I've had a proper look - next week. Unless Dave chimes in.

Dave's rendition has always been, and remains the best looking and best proportioned top I've seen.

I thought all the talented auto gents had been exported to countries far removed from England.

The side windows are ingenious.
