I am going to make one I like it so much and it's going to fit in the boot,
But like every thing I do it might take a while

Rich, if you do (eventually) count me in your customer list....
Howmanyleft estimates 4000 Chimps left, I recon they'd all want one!!!

PS: I dont care if it fits in the boot or not....

Bought my first bits, I'm one step ahead ;-)

Team up and get a mould made?

The Malaysian "Chimaera Challenge" hard tops really suited the cars. Had this one sent over from TVR Malayasia before they went tits up, currently gathering dust in my TVR parts vault

Nice!! That's has got to be one rare bit of kit....
Anyone handy at making moulds?!

I'd definitely be interested in one if someone put a small production line together!

I assume the one pictured just needs sprayed, and some Perspex?

I would definitely buy one of these if they were available!

I still think all you need to do is make a mould for a Malaysian style rear section that would mate up with an existing targa panel (both could be painted body colour) so that both could be fitted in the boot while out and about.

Isn't there someone that already makes a "hard" replacement for the fold down rear section already?

Yes - here it is...

yes but that type has not the clean nice lines that makes you want those ;-)

[Bassfiend]

Agreed - the full Malaysian roof is a very nice looking bit of kit but given that there appears to be only one of them in existence so to produce more would need to have moulds created (and possibly infringe copyright) and therefore won't be easy or "cheap"...

Easy to get round copyrights if you change it slightly, I'm already half way there to making a mould

Cool - then stick me on the list for when you get finished as it does look the bks...

[biper]

Put me down for one as well

[Alexdaredevilz]

What would you guys pay for such a item?

[Bassfiend]

Now there's the $64,000 question...

The only answer I can give is more than I would like to and less than you would want me to.
