Re: Who makes this top?
Very interesting. I've not seen anything like it. I'm sure Steve over at mgnuts.com would love to see it.

Re: Who makes this top?
Hi Tim,
Looks VERY similar to mine made by Classic Motor car Ltd .in UK called a Bermuda Top. They made them for Bs, Midgets and Spitifres. Think they were just too "weird" for most. I love mine. Rear quarter light appears a tidge different. I'm restoring mine, new color. Found a website from UK that must have had 20 different brands of aftermarket B tops... along with lots of background. Now I can't find it. Don B. |

Re: Who makes this top?
Tim,
Additional thought... I've seen what appear to be the same shape of rear side quarterlights on a few aftermarket MG Midget tops. Might be a clue in there for you. I'll keep looking for the British website with all the info. Don B. |

Re: Who makes this top?
Here is a website from a company that makes all manner of fibreglass mouldings for an equally wide range of manufacturers.

Re: Who makes this top?
I loved that top! It's the only picture I have of that 1965 car. This was before I finished the bodywork and painted it a bright white. It had a 283 with 3 speed stick. Always wondered what happened to that top. Would love to have one again. Bought the top on the same day my oldest daughter was born Oct 2, 1974. I was told a guy in the service brought it back from England. The girl that I bought the top from didn't have room to store the hardtop. Cheers, Bill |
