Would Morgan make a hard top if requested? I know it would probably be very expensive but you'd get a perfect result. I wish I could have ordered a hard top with my Roadster but I was at the top of my budget.

I am sure that they would....but having seen them being fitted at the factory using a jig, they may not be a straightforward fit on a car post build. Worth sounding them out though.

These are pics of a car being set up at the factory for a hardtop. Watching the guys working on it, it looks as though the precise screen mounting to the scuttle is determined by the hardtop. The screen by the way is the new one developed to stop potential cracking of the glass.

PS. Then we can use your hardtop to get Honeybourne to make a mould evil

Come one Graham. You know why really. It will leak "less" than the softtop.


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Given how much the body flexes on my Sport and previously a 93 +8 I think unless copious amounts of Dave's favourite medium is applied it would be worse. My understanding of the Hardtop is that it is very much bespoke having read previous threads on this not through personal experience.
As a topless man it wouldn't be for me, just wouldn't want someone spending bucks to be dissapointed.

Anyway I thought the inbuilt Foot Spa was an advertising feature and with the advent of the New M3W you have the complete Power Shower experience dependent on Throttle setting slap wink

If you look at the hardtop being fitted at the factory AND the one that was for sale oneBay, there is the same elliptical moulding mark just rear of the door at elbow height. Looks to me like the same hard top mould?
Taking moulds of somebody elses hard top - Mmmmmmmmm?
