If you mean the bags to store the targa roof panels when driving "au naturelle" then I would suggest you borrow the bags from one of your pals and have a pair made up by somebody local. The two bags are different sizes and make sure they give adequate cover to the panel when stored in the boot.
If it works out OK then I am sure others on the S group would be interested in buying them.

The roof covers from Leven are in place of a full car cover but are expensive at £150, I bought a full cover with locking cable for £153 from www.classicadditions.co.uk inc delivery, delivered in 24 hours.
Hope this helps.

ps Welcome in anticipation of the new purchase but enjoy the site anyway.

Iv'e just had made what I would call a "PackaRoof".
It's a waterproof cover that fits in the place of the Targa panels and is held down by four Bungee straps, two go around the wing mirrors and the other two clip under the rear wheel arch.
Its not designed for driving with it on but its ideal for when parked up and there may be a chance of a shower, it keeps the sun off the interior when parked, deters prying eyes although you can't call it secure, and saves the hassle of fitting the Targa panels and is easily folded into a small pack for storage.
If interested e-mail me on my profile and I will send some pictures. (Don't know how to show it here.)

I have a Tonneau/Packaroof. All it is is a rectangular sheet that hooks to the wing mirrors and rear wheels with bungy straps.
It only cost £10 to be made up by a local tentmaker. I'll put the measurements on this topic in the next couple of days.
I find it invaluable when the car is parked on the drive I dont need to worry about sudden rain showers, bird crap and other rubbish blowing in if it is left parked outside with roof down.

With the use of this and in the garage when not in use I hardly ever put the roof on.
