    Hi Jean,

    Thank you again for your suggestions,

    hopefully I found somebody near me to do the job.

    I have agree to bring the car in October so that I can enjoy the summertime and then do the job in winter.

    I hope it will work.

    kindest regards

    Marcel

    Hi Stefano,

    I have the same problem, unbelievable but it is 1 year I am trying to find somebody to restore the hard and soft top,  this matter  seems to be a very difficult one.

    Any way now my car is at Galbiati in Casatenovo , Lecco , a top place for restoring old timers Jaguars, where we made several upgrades on the mechanics and some small body works

    The job is nearly finished and I want to get  the car for summertime but in October she will go back for soft and hard top revamping.

    Considering how difficult it was to convince them to do this second part of the job,  maybe having 2 cars to work on  they will be more interested.

    I understand by your surname that it is possible you are somewhere around north Italy.

    if you can consider this option as interesting pls let me know so that we can speak with Luca Galbiati about this opportunity

    If you like you can see my car in members album  .

    Looking forward

    kindest regards

    Marcel Astolfi

    good morning Frank

    sorry but also this one is not working.

    I think it is easier when I send somebody to pic up and pay in cash.

    pls give me your address so that I can ask to one of my driver to come and collect directly at your place. it could probably be next week or latest the week after.

    thank you

    kindest regards

    Hi Jean,

    thank you for your suggestion.

    It would be hard for me considering that my car has 2 hard tops plus a soft top and even professions are reluctant to do the job.

    more than this I don’t have the age for such an challenge !!!

    All the best

    We also appear to have lost a number of the discussion topics and replies, which might have occurred when I had to restore some of the data  🙁

    Hello Peter – @PDT1966

    There are a number of members who do have the Hard Top so hopefully one or two will respond to your request for information.

    Do you know if you have all the necessary catches on the Hard Top itself, and the ones you need on the car – or is this some of the questions you have ?   I did have a hard top when I first had the car (but sold it on), and seem to recall you need to remove the soft top’s mechanism and replace it with a catch, but I stand to be corrected by someone who still has one.

    Cheers,

    Laurence

    Hi John,

    Thanks for putting together such an informative Album about your Cabriolet.

    I do like the fact that you say your aim is keeping the changes in period and tasteful, and from your descriptions and pictures I’d say you are doing that well.

    Laurence
