Without seeing it - it sounds like a canopy perdominatly used by SA Police in out back areas. They were build by a coach builder and as already said "RUST" was a major issue.

As already mentioned send me the pictures and I will post.

There is a few around, but not many in good condition (We have a couple of mutural friends/members with them......Mark & David)

While the tops were made by Athol Hedges and should rightly be called Athol Hedges canopys, they were usually called "Queensland tops" by us Mexicans in NSW.

The tops however did get around, Victorian AULRO member "tardis" had one on her 109 a couple of years ago. The vehicle was parted out, however the roof was still in quite good condition but lying upside down in a Land Rover grave yard on a property near Horsham in the Wimmera. Of course we had to right it so that it would last a few more years without filling with water and rusting away.
