Suprizing, I thought a lot would be up for selling them. I would get on forums and put up wanted topics for it. You never know might spark someone to go ahhhhh thats sitting in garage doing nothing, could punt it get a bit of cash!
Rather than waiting on one being advertised.

The Carbon one is top
Seen it on a grey Elise before - top quality!! And you almost will never find one second hand.

Problem is that Ninja's is a long tail - Lotus never made a hardtop for the early S2.

Hmmm..... do the short tail conversion as the short soft top looks much better too... You have a tear in your roof now anyway so great time to do it?????

Ah I see. I got my long tail hardtop with the car but mine is an s1. When I was buying heard heard it wasnt worth keeping the hard top so would be better selling it. Just thought it would be the same with the s2 and there would be a few folk on forums punting them. Good luck with the search mate
