MGB factory hardtop question.
Anyone have experience with the Rimmer Brothers MGB fiberglass hardtop? From the catalog depiction, It looks like a factory copy from what I can see.
Will those of you with the MGB factory top take a look and provide an opinion please. I'm sure the cost to ship one to the US would be steep, but it is "new". Thanks Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 02/22/2022 06:40PM by 1L-Loyd. |

If the hardtop to refer to is this listing: [rimmerbros.com] it is not even close to what the factory top provides. No side windows is the biggest difference.
For USD $1000 plus shipping, you should be able to find an authentic top here in the States. Attached are photos of two tops that I've owned: |

Yes! That photo is what I was referencing in my original post. I like it because it is the same shape as the factory top, which in my opinion, looks great on the roadster.
Even though the quarter windows are what looks like fiberglass, they could possibly be painted a bright aluminum color and clear coated to look like the trim I have seen on a aged top! Thanks to those of you who replied. My beloved wife still thinks I would complain about the entery and exit and only keep the car a short time like a few past fun vehicles I "had to have"! I figure life is short and I should spend the children's inheritance before they piss it away after I'm gone!!! Get out there and have fun! |
