Clemo

Thanks for asking Jon to write out his thoughts on this separate thread.
It has certainly encouraged some healthy debate and it's refreshing to see two individuals (who occupy completely different ends of the spectrum) discussing their respective stand points without reverting to name-calling and general abuse.
Long may it continue; although I fear this thread may have already run its course.

I guess that at the moment, a hard top is worth as much as you paid for it, unlike most extras.

Even so, steep is not the word for this price, surely?

Is that Stu's?

If so I hope he hasn't got out of Elanning just because of the HT controversy. :(

Could well be Ailwyn.

Stu had a red N/A and lived in Northants. And he had a hard top. And I'm sure he PM'd me about those flashy wheels..

And the guy selling it is:-
Location: northants, United Kingdom
Contact: stu frandsen (Little Red Demon)


But there's something about the roll bars that doesn't look right. Stu had those MX-5 chrome jobs that were there for show. These ones look more structural. LGM's ??

Also I don't remember Stu's being quite so red inside - looks like a John Benk design LOL :twisted:

So, the jury's out at the moment..............

Yes - but that N/A is in much better condition than Stef's. And besides, Stef's respray isn't the real Collapso Red - it's a totally different shade when you see it next to the proper red ones ;-)
