Thanks for getting back to me. Do you just have the cloth top or do you have the hard top too? Anything included with the sale? Any niggles with the car at all? Cheers. iamzeusalmighty (77) • 11:26 pm, Sun, 26 Apr

No probs. Just the cloth top, it’s really mint also. Ahh I have a small box of spares that came with it. In general it’s really tidy, wouldn’t say it has anything stand out wrong with it as such. Welcome to come see it or give me a call if you like rb20det666 (259) • Sunday, 26 April 2026
