That reminds me, I've been meaning to ask what color the original
tonneau's
were. Mines white, and I haven't seen any other white one's for sale
(or on
cars for that matter), but then again it's white, so I'm thinking it
can't
be original, otherwise it'd be at least yellow, if not brown by now.

item#480624558: NOS TONNEAU AUSTIN HEALEY BUGEYE SPRITE
I don't know if this type of representation occurs elsewhere
(undoubtedly it does) but ebay sellers seem to be continually guilty
of
representating something as NOS when it really is not. This auction is
for a
Bugeye tonneau. No picture. Seller can't/won't send pictures. Seller
states
in private email that it is not in a box. His only claim to its source
of
manufacture is that an anonymous vendor told him that it was a factory
tonneau.
