Hello Mark
Thanks for sharing that link. You made me feel a lot better about the hardtops that I purchased for my two XJ-SC’s.
I bought two of them a few years ago from Paul’s Jaguar down in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
I needed one in Black and one in Dark Brown. Paul had only two left, one Dark Blue and one Black but they were both in really bad condition inside and out. I had to completely restore them both which was quite a job. I paid $ 785 for one and $ 595 for the other plus shipping. Then I had the costs for new outer padding and fabric, seals, latches, new headlining, and the cost to remove the glass windows and reinstall them on each one. I never added up the final costs once I finally finished them but know I didn’t spend $1,800 on each one.
Cheers
Steve

Ouch that’s a lot of money, circa £1,400

One of our members has one for sale Bargain at £1000.00 probably used twice– The problem is they are very fragile for transportation / Shipping. Also one of our members in Rome requires one but how do we get it to him any ideas?
By the way the Blue one on E Bay item number 311756920205 Has been on and off e bay for a long time.

I just restored the hard top on my Talisman/Isis 87 Cab. The outer material is Haartz Cambria cloth and is still available. It is glued directly to the fiberglass shell with no padding. I pulled the window myself and reset it with
3M Window-Weld. I did both Targa panels also with new headliner material included, then pulled the windscreen and recovered the header section also so that everything matched…

Has anyone any idea if I could purchase one of these hard tops now?

Thanks

Peter
