Is there much of a market for one, with a roof system as good as the one on the Griffith, do you think?

To be honest, I think I'd always be able to find something more interesting to spend the money on!

I had a hard top on my old FIAT barchetta & that was great for the wet winter months (except it precluded any top downing on those few crisp sunny mornings). I think the TVR solution is sooooooooo much better tho' & really gives the best of both worlds IMHO

When the roof is up I think it's a very neat & practical job.However,I think there's more of a market for a foldable or rollable centre section that's showerproof; to be used in the summer & to enable the roof to be stowed & refitted without disturbing the contents of the boot. Or does anyone already produce such a gizmo??

A two-piece roof would be handy, like the S. I think someone makes this. But as for a hardtop, Zertec had a sketch but I don't know that anyone ever went for it.

On the hand out from Leven picked up at the Growl, they are developing a foldable roof for the Griff. Don't know how far advanced it is though.

They have, for anyone whos interested, check out modwise's bonnet stay, it's ace.

Someone mentioned Leven doing fabric/rollable roof section, is this correct? Sure you're not getting mixed up with their two-piece prototype?
