You will also notice it is a 1952-53 model without the firewall sidelights.

Yep I dragged it here, now it'll be the donor for my '52

saw a great roof today, on (i think) an 86"...
its a custom roof that I think really suits the model, even Nay loves it!
will try and post a photo soon.

**EDIT**
and soon is now!

interested in hearing about what people think... But as said I love the quirky roof!

unable to locate any numbers/ ID plates to give me the numbers I crave!

note the tyre holder on bonnett? should be on back of "seat wall"(ok front of tub

)

spare diff on tray?
spare bumper too?

as you can see it has had a tree branch fall on it but no apparent damage

I will try and contact the owner soon, I think I know who owns it !

Hi there

I like how its been formed around the original sft top hoops - and your right I have seen a few home made efforts and this is one of the better ones.

Well done.........

PS - I like the story of how you found it.....

Wayne,

Cheers, I do like it but I dont have an 86 to fit it to.......yet

I agree its a ripper and although slightly rough its a great look. Didnt get right into/onto it but its now on my list!

I think the full story of its being located may not be for publication

Hey Wayne.... One more thing... slow down as you finish of your emails OR I'll start calling you WHYANNE the way you spelt it!!

Cheers

(yep, I checked the spelling of my name twice before I was game to post this!!)

Hi there digger

Woooooop's - must have been a bad day when you have spelt your name wrong.............its been fixed.

I agree - the full story has been censored......

Enjoy your day

PS - i have an 86, and know where there is another missing its engine.

Wayne (correct spelling as check it twice)

Amongst my collection I have from different sources, a full length hardtop panel and a pair of sides for a 80" and I am looking for a canvas to suit a 86"/88" series 1.

Hmmm this is starting to look like a ad, but if I call it barter is that better?

Can someone help me here with the wording? As then I can edit it to be politically correct, I really don't want to upset the camp by creating a posting that gets up a nose or two.

i personally prefer the rag top, but i took the opportunity to get a hardtop for the 86 inch i did have a rag top on it but it wasnt in the best of condition( very faded and came apart at the stitching, but it was still ok), i am sure you can get them new from a few places. I personally would love a hardtop for an 80inch
