Surrey folding roof

[foot2firewall]

I was at the Hampshire TVR meet yesterday at The Millburys, a great turn out of 31 TVR's with only one S - mine. Anyway, one of the Chimaera owners was demonstrating a Surrey folding roof. It looked like a great piece of kit for touring. Has anyone fitted one to an S and what's the experience?

They are available for the S from the link that Mike has provided above.
He also advertises in Sprint.
I made an enquiry some time ago and they had them in stock.
For me the price out weighed the benefits
Thanks Gary

A popular option for the Chimaera as it allows even more space for golf bats in the boot.

I'm sure one of the Euro Tour regulars has one... is it TopGearTVR...?

Looks like a great peice of kit but I'm with Gary re. the cost v benefits

[Barry S1]

Stu has one on the griff works well

[mohitos]

But it's only been tested to 115mph ?

[glenrobbo]

Yes, it's Steve TopGearTVR that has one.
Nice but pricey.

If I had one, I'd want it with a fringe on the top. ( You have to be VERY old to appreciate that one! )
But then I'd only put more stuff in the boot........

not that old !!!

Hi,
I have one of the surrey folding roofs on my S2. It is easy to put on is weathertight and fits better than the origional panels. It folds into a neat bag and even when stored in the boot there is still decent space left.
I know the manufacturer (via the TVR car club) and He uses my car to trial fit the components and finished roofs.

Hi, .............

First post in 95 months!

That's some serious lurking Howard

[Top Gear TVR]

I have one and it's the only roof I carry. It's great for storage and ok in use. Worth the money but room for improvement :-)

[mk1fan]

What needs improving? Was thinking to getting one for each of the sisters.

[Oldred_V8S]

Was so nearly tempted, but the price is just a bit too steep.

[Longers]

Discount for a group buy...?

Interested to hear from Steve about how it could be bettered

[chris watton]

I seen one of these on a Griff at Central TVR, it looked very neat! Tempted to have one for my car.

[brett84]

try and get a group buy

[Scoobimax]

Always fancied one but price is not right for me, so would be interested in a group buy.

[HvdWeerden]

Group buy : maybe but at 20% discount they still would be around UKP 400 ?

[mk1fan]

Has any one contacted them regarding a group buy? I'm going to contact them next week anyway. So would people like me to ask?
