Hi all,
I have just started driving an MG Midget for my first car. However the roof is a bit rubbish; its got a couple of leaks and the leather has shrunk a bit. So now with the weather getting worse, I was wondering if there was any where i can get a hardtop to replace the softop i have got at the mo.

I had a MG Midget waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ago (VCX 704R) and it had a hard top. Useless thing, it was colder and nosier than the soft top. Personally, I wouldn't bother.

If you must, look on eBay:

Thinking about it a good soft top would be suitable as well but i cannot seem to find anywhere selling them.

Moss, PBW, Rimmer bros to start with. Does Google not find anyone?

PBW are my preferred choice, but all may well have them made at the same place.

MGOC or MGCC classifieds, they're not exactly a rare part.

try going straight to the manufacturers rather than the resellers with glossy catalogues...and save many £££'s in the process.

Michael, here's a tip for you. When buying parts for most classic cars use the main suppliers for ref' info'/price points and use google to search for the precise product and price point you're wanting. This is a very effective way of maintaining some control on your operational/running costs. You'll be amazed at the differences in pricing on identical product from different suppliers.
