That looks nice!

A interesting looking rear window and a very nice colour combo!

Looks like a factory hard top like mine. Window is the same along with the shape. Colour is different, mine is Royal Ivory, which was (2011) the only colour the factory would let you have. Hence my car is Royal Ivory.

Icepack ... that's interesting ... the only factory hardtop I've seen pics of seemed to have a squarer rear window ... and this seems to have a curve out to the rear deck.

There must be a reason for that window shape, but I don't find it attractive.

My perfect hard top would be covered in mohair/vinyl, and look exactly like a soft top. How hard can it be? wink

Surely that is like the 2008 Plus 4 that Melvyn Rutter sold a while ago ?

I think that window design is from an earlier LM62 tribute +8 run they did - around 2001/2002?

The modern plus four/six hardtops have a squarer rear window.
