Roof panel needed.

[db484bhpv8]

I am looking to replace the roof panel as mine is currently scattered along the hard shoulder of the M6.

I will ring Douglas Valley and TVR Dean later but am not hopeful of a price tag i can currently cope with.
Any other leads will be appreciated.

I sold my spare to someone desperate for £20.00 a few years ago, what a dick!

Feel for you Derek, you don't need this.

Douglas Valley and Bell Hill have nothing in.
TVR Dean want £250!
That ebay option doesnt look so bad in comparison.

I wonder how long Neal can wait for me to return his

Might be worth checking with Chimjunkie. He was dismantling his Chimaera over last winter after blowing the engine, and just might still have the roof...

They do come up on ebay so have a bit of patience and something will come up

I got my spare for £80 - admittedly a few years back but they were going for 80-120 then.

Derek, you might as well tell us how it happened?

[QBee]

It started with a curry I believe
Increased air pressure in the car the following morning.......
