I have a Rutherford hardtop for my 1971 4/4. Dave Rutherford used to make glass fibre hardtops but has now retired, I understand that the moulds were sold to Mathias Kreyes in Germany. Matthias Kreyes Homepage: http://www.morgangarage.de/

Apparently Matthias Kreyes can supply hardtops for all Morgan two-seaters, which is great unless you have a four-seater. About once a year I have a discussion with some 4-seater owner about designing a 4-seat hardtop, but nothing yet.

My Morgan service garage had a fourseater hardtop in their spare parts store. I don't know if it is still there nor it is for sale.

I made an alloy hard top for My +8 Bitsa. Too claustrophobic for Me. It is hanging up in a barn on Vancouver Island. Really did not finish it.

I am told someone called Mark Skelcher in the UK is producing hard tops does anyone know this guy? I've never heard of him, I'm afraid. The general consensus on hard tops is that because of the significant dimensional variations from car to car getting a stock hard top to fit is a nightmare - hence nobody is keen on producing them.
