According to the Production Trace Certificate from BMIHT, the hardtop I
have is the one the car was shipped with, back in 1966, to its original
dealership destination.
This is all I know about MkIII and MkIV hardtops:
MkIII: rear aligning brackets, flat windscreens, square design,
"thick" rear seal (because the MkIII body is flat) and
two metal rear seal retainer halves. The side bracket has
a channel where the bolt moves forward and backward.
MkIV: no rear aligning brackets, flat windscreens, square design,
"thin" rear seal (raised MkIV body) and no retainers. The
side bracket has only a hole for the bolt.
Don't know about MkI or MkII hardtops because I don't have such
a car, would buy one though if I could find it, car that is!!!!
