if you want a hardtop buy one with one - it'll be cheaper

you'll pay anything upto £1k to a none gt - the kit is £400+ used
Have you got a fitting kit yet ?.

ATM nope. Purchasing a seperate hardtop roof and fitting kit is a back up plan. Cos I'm viewing a Hardtop GT on Friday evening. If all goes well..then all goes well. But if not I may have to resort to buying soft top and purchasing hardtop and fitting kit seperately.

Set aside ~ £1000 in that case. The fitting kit isn't cheap, even second hand

If you want the option of a hardtop it's definitely worth buying a GT car or a non GT that has had one fitted. That way when the softtop wears out, you can sell the hardtop and use the money to buy a new softop from monsoon

Well I don't think the issue of soft top wearing out would be much of a problem for me seeing as I don't really plan to take the hardtop off throught the whole year

Once you're over 40mph ..... unless it properly hacks it down you don't get wet Night driving with the roof down is good fun too

I'm hoping to beat the other viewer to the punch. Was originally gonna view the car this Sunday but apparently the other dude is going too with money ready if it's all good. So I had to change my viewing to Friday in case I want to take it
