Hard top for 111R

Any ideas where I can get a hard top for my 111R? I would want it in body colour (Storm Titanium). I've had a look on the web, but can only find the older style hard tops.

Not sure if I'll definitely get one, but was thinking it might be good for the winter, if it's not too expensive. Any idea what I should expect to pay?

Do people find it makes much of a difference having a hard top for the winter?

Thanks,
D

£650-£700 flea-bay is your best bet.

Be prepared for a little gentle ribbing from the "soft-top-all-year" brigade or the loopy: "roof? Whats a roof?" Massive :lol:

Got mine from Murrays when I bought the beast and they had it sprayed up in the correct colour. A lot more difficult to fit than the S1 hardtop (which was easier to fit than the S1 soft top.... So you put it on when the weather goes bad and leave it there until the spring.

Definitely better in winter than a soft top, frostbite doesn't improve your speed.

wait for the howls of the roofless Taliban......

I've got one, luckily I got it free with the car. Total waste of time, no better than having the soft top on and worse than the soft top when it's raining as all the water runs off onto the sill when you open the door.
