Lots of internet searching has come to nothing.
I would be very keen to look into getting one, if anyone has any clever ideas for finding/making a mould, etc.?

see to find out by the article and writers etc, were those cars are and try to find the owner, then see if he would sell those?
Cross-linking for an alternative solution to this...
This is a solution that I have always envisaged to recreating the Malasian Hardtop look, without the disadvantages associated with a large single-piece item...
A solution like the above - but with Cerb-style side windows like the Malaysian Hardtop, and the targa top plasticised - would give the same hardtop styling, with the potential (with the correct fixings) to retain the targa functionality...
Like the SH item I guess - but more curvy and Cerb-like.
Just a thought...

That's more or less already been done by Steve Edwards.This is a solution that I have always envisaged to recreating the Malasian Hardtop look, without the disadvantages associated with a large single-piece item...

IIRC there was someone on another thread offering to sell a mould for the or at least a Malaysian 'style' hard top
Yes - sorry, confused "SH" with "SE"... 
Just never thought that the angular styling suited the Chimaera lines - whereas a similar idea in a curved style would achieve the same lines as the Malaysian Hardtop - in a much more flexible solution.
If people are looking to make moulds etc - then moulds could also be taken from that Griff variant, and the side windows adapted etc.
I know that no one knows where a Griff hardtop is, but if no one knows where a "proper" Malaysian Hardtop is either - then thought it might be an alternative idea..? (2 potential routes better than 1?)

I knew I'd seen a thread with a mould for sale in it.

Check out the post with the ebay link. The item is no longer being offered (obviously) but the sellers mobile number is on the advert and he may either still have the mould or might put you in contact with the buyer if it sold.

This mould was sold by Mike Wilkinson as in 'MW Restorations' which is the one (mine) in the Classifieds....http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=137...
