Does anyone know where I can find such a hardtop (I've tried the factory and Matthias), or have one for sale?
Thanks in advance

See this link - these are individual car specific and the likelihood of another good fit to your car would be a bit of a miracle, this topic often comes up on here. If this one or any other comes available you must try the fit of it before buying is the rule really.

I remember when I worked at the factory seeing the moulds for their hardtops lying outside Aero Racing......I wish I could have borrowed them!

I got one for my 1961 +4 through Richard Thorne Classic Cars near Reading. They have a strong interest in the older models.
It still needed a bit of 'fettling' but you can expect all old bodies to be a bit out of shape!!

AndrewH,
If it's a 1960s SuperSport then Vic Champness' company Black Phey used to produce them (from a mould taken from a genuine LawrenceTune hardtop) mostly for the Historic racers that you see around, although TOK retains its original alloy version (I think).
If it's for a 'modern' SuperSports then I've no idea !

Andy The Black Phey mould is now with Sid Watson. He is extremely reluctant to produce any more because of the fitting difficulties. There's no chance of one fitting a long-door car as just about every dimension is different.
