Detachable hard-tops
When were these first made available FOR Minor Tourer's?
Exact month would be great, thanks.

The Z1210x series body codes saw the introduction of the LBM on both 2dr & Tourer models....Zzzzz..."les wrote:I can only give you a rough estimate---6 months either way!
Would have thought someone on here would know for certain, sometime in 1950 at a guess(?).

Re: Detachable hard-tops
Earliest picture I have seen was on a 51 Chris.I wondered if it was because of the fixed window and the discontinuation of the side screens maybe

Re: Detachable hard-tops
On later MMs- presumably post 10/50(?) - the hood clips are fixed to what would be an LBM on a 2dr, whereas on pre-10/50(confirmation please) the design at the top of the rear quarter panel is totally different.irmscher wrote:Earliest picture I have seen was on a 51 Chris.I wondered if it was because of the fixed window and the discontinuation of the side screens maybe
Will Ray Newell know the answer to this?

Mr Mamadu would no doubt know, he's just put a flyer under my wipers, he's a 'gifted African spiritual healer and advisor' what ever the problem there is a solution, and you don't pay until you get a result! Can say fairer than that.

Contact Mr.M. for a reading - worth a punt - providing he doesn't start throwing stones at the wall behind you!les wrote:Good job I hadn't spotted Mr Mamadu!
Ouch!
How many squirrels do you see travelling across the world JUST to throw things against a wall? Okay, may have the odd couple from Baltimore, but.....

I'll give Mr Mamadu a miss. Most squirrels are happy to get their kicks nearer to home, it's safer up a tree. They drop nuts rather than throw stones.

Re: Detachable hard-tops
I see plenty of squirrels when I walk the dog, not seen any monkeys though.

Re: Detachable hard-tops
Surely the availability of these must have been advertised in contempory car/motoring magazines?
And now for something COMPLETELY different...
Anyone on here own a RSA Capetown built saloon - need a pic of the "C" please?
