its coming close now, and i am now getting taunted by hardtops, been after a cheap one for ages and now 3 on ebay in as many weeks, 1st went for over 300 quid, well out my pricerange, was after a tatty one for about 150, then stuck in work today and missed end of 2nd auction and top went for 186, so now another one on there but its not a lenham, made by honeybourne mouldings, anyone heard of these tops?

the project at birth, watch it evolve...I hope...

Hi,

The best hard top for TR7's IMHO is 'The German one' but also the rairest.

Or this one is poss even better [8D]

As for Honeybourne they are still going-

Looks like that DVD will be on my shopping list, Chris

We must sort out a time to all meet up on the TRDC stand, faces to names and a chat

Cheers John

Henk, that sunroof in that add you posted looks very similar to my 2 glass thing. See my photos.

The hinges, & the little hinged locks, props, [that hold it up when open] look to be the same. I have been unable to find anyone with any information on them here in Oz. I have never seen another sunroof the same.

I need a new rubber for mine, & have had to make do with e rubbers making up something like the one required.

Is this company still in business, & do you have a web site for them? I'd love to find t a new sealing rubber.

Hi Hasbeen, it seems they are in business but not for car parts/hard tops, they were made hardtops for fiat 124 spider and spitfire too.

Here is the adress of the company i think they have no website.
