Though I'd love a 'factory' hardtop for my Series 1 OTS, I'm thinking of getting an aftermarket top that most closely mimics the outline of the OEM and then

1. Adding structural rigidity inside
2. Adding a lightweight rear 'scoop' that actually houses the 3rd brake light for safety.

So,

Does any one have experience with above hardtop mods? Comments?

What brand of hard top has the best, most OEM looking profile?

Any out there you know of?

Thanks so much,

 

streamline has the closest match to the factory e-type hardtop $1350.

 

Awesome and thanks! I looked it up and I guess you mean 'Smooth Line' (?) http://www.smoothline.com/jaguar.php

Theirs does have a decent profile and window wrap. My perfectionism is getting the better of me and may have to order a new one out of the UK...

 

SNG Barratt offers one now as well and I am always impressed with their quality of parts
