Has anyone ever seen a removable Hard Top for the 360 spider anywhere ?

Never seen one but I'm sure a decent fibreglass company would be able to come up with something.

Why would anyone need a hard-top?

If it was for security purposes then having a hard-top isn't likely to put off the sort of theif that could steal a Ferrari.

Stops the roof being destroyed over the winter months for those who use it as a daily / park it outside.

Mine had lived outside for 3 years before I bought, and for the whole time I owned it; it cleaned up perfectly and was showing no signs of wear when I sold it.

I understand a hard-top on something like an Elise because the standard roof is a bit crap, but the 360 roof is pretty good IME.

Thanks for that.

Sorry for delay guys, i ended up getting involved in something at work, to answer some of the questions, i was more curious than anything but i do think the spider shape is more "supercar" looking than the coupe to be honest.
The spider soft top is very good I must say and you don't get an awful lot of wind noise either, some of those pictures in the link look really nice and a couple look real rank, guess needs to be seen in the flesh.
Would I pay £10k for one ? ........ I dont think so, carbon or not.
