RE: TVR V8s get hard tops
Discussion
It looks pretty damned good...

hard tops indicate you drive a convirtable purely for posing.
I have my roof off whenever it is not raining.
Bit of a sweeping assumption there! Personally prefer to have the roof on when I'm driving home from work on a cold damp night, does that make me a poser?
I have my roof on when going to and from work.
However, having a hard top shows you have no intention at all of taking the roof off.
Quite like the idea and look.
Only problem i can see is - In the past i have read a lot of threads saying help locked out dead battery how do i get into the car and as every long standing tvr driver knows there is a trick which would not be possible with new hard top in place. - So does it come with a tin opener?

This looks a good solution for the wimps 
Has anyone looked at a proper folding top for the Griff? I hate having to lay out the contents of the boot every time I have to put the top up or down.
I thought of a canvas folding centre section, but think that a standard MGF MX5 or even MBG type arrangement would be ok. A powered push button system would be good, but we are talking about a classic TVR here, such comforts would be a bit out of place.
Of course I would then want a tonneau cover, so that if it only rained a little, I could just zip up the passenger side.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but it was linked to from the recent thread on the split roof.
ing-doo.
I don't see why anyone has the right to say what other people should or should not do with their cars. I didn't buy my Chimaera because it was a convertible, I bought it as a 2-seater RWD car with a stonking V8 in it. If someone wants a hard top on it then who are you to judge?

.Can't see the point. If you look after the roof they come with then they are pretty water-tight.
As has been said before, why buy a convertible and stick on a hard-top?
Also, I recently saw the Chim version in the flesh....not that pretty. Triangular quarter light and flat rear screen just don't look that great. Only my opinion of course.
