TR7 tonneau cover?????

Postby seven » 11 Nov 2010 16:50

Can any body identify this tonneau cover. It would be great if it was for my TR7, but doesn't quite fit up to the cockpit area, maybe I am not looking at it right[:(] I haven't tried to drop the hood yet for a proper examination. Plus the TR7 is a little inaccessible at the moment
Any ideas[?]

Looks like an MGB Cover.

Thanks guys,
I am thinking on the same lines now, just seen an MGB Roadster article in an old 1987 Practical Classics mag which happened to showed the raised lugs to hold a tonneau cover on[:)]
No wonder it didn't look like it would fit my 7[V]

Cheers
Peter

The TR tonneau came in two flavours. The first, which I think was a dealer option attached to the top of the windshield, for storage/parking outside with top down, not for driving with, kind of useless. The other I believe was an aftermarket product that attached to the front of the dash where it meets the windshield. Because of the slope of the windshield, hard to get at but doable as LastTR showed me at this years Portland ABFM.

Personally I would just put the top up or down as required (unless your top is 31years old and a little stiff, requiring hot/warm weather or a hair dryer to heat up the vinyl a bit so it can stretch.) No way I'm going to replace the top when it still looks like new, even though it takes more effort to keep in touch with what the weathers going to do.
