Hardtop for convertible?

Post by Edward1949 »

Back in the seventies there were any number of hardtops available for MG Midgets, Spitfires etc Does anyone know if there was ever a hardtop for the Minor?

And maybe if you want one you could fabricate something out of this:

(not sure how heavy it would be though, Travellers were aluminium right?)

The rear section is ally, the front is steel. Of course, the flat rear section is of no help trying to imitate the curve of the hood or saloon roof.
