What's the point? The targa section is pretty hard already. Drop it on your foot and you'll realise that under that canvas is some GRP + carbon fibre...
And since when have hard tops been any more water proof than a good well sorted TVR roof?

Not sure if the hard colour coded panel would look right with the fabric rear fold down section, but I am happy to be proven wrong.
Shame we cannot have a top as easy to put up and down as my girl friends MR2 roadster, it is a great little car with some very nice features, especialy the softtop and the easy to put on hardtop option for the winter weather.
(still prefer my Griff though)

[Maureen Lipman accent]First he buys a car with no roof, then he wants a roof [/Maureen Lipman accent]
They already did one with a roof:
A Cerbera.
There is a sketch of a griff wirh a roof - looks like a Spitfire GT6 (
) on the net somewhere, I'll have a look if no-ones beaten me to it..

I meant a complete hard top like the one Zertec have proposed only with the shape of the existing fabric/composite roof. Maybe one of the IT-inerant chappies who log onto this site can morph one on to a piccie of a griff?

Thanks for the picture, John!
I like it and find the idea quite good:
A few weeks ago I stumbled over an offer of a company selling a new developed GRP removable roadster hardtop (for Jaguar XK 120/140), which looked very good.
They offered a fully assembled version in gloss black for GBP 1.495
or an unpainted self-assembly version for 1.100,
all +VAT.
For that kind of price you could put me on the order list!

You could always put your roof up and glass-fibre over it... or for even less money use papier mache and a tin of the appropriate colour gloss enamel paint... = hard top for about £10. In fact, if you vaseline the original roof first, then you can lift the new hardtop off and keep it safe during the summer!
Suppose Leven and Zertec started somewhere - papier mache button covers probably!
