Not sure about the GT's, but I understand for all other Tigers the hard
top could be ordered from the factory with the car and it would be painted
the car color. If the car came without a hardtop and hardtop was purchased
from a dealer then it would be black.
My MK1A is car color, but I can see black under the red so.......

When I purchased my Tiger this past summer it did not come with a hardtop.
I
checked back three owners...but no sign of any hardtop.
They say a little knowledge is dangerous...but in reading up on the early
production of Tigers I thought I have read that they were originally
produced
as Roadsters or as the GT Model with a detachable hardtop (Tiger: An
exceptional Motor Car p. 47). That raises a number of questions for meI.
1. Did Tigers come in Roadster and GT Models or did ALL Tigers come with
the
detachable hardtop?
2. Was the color of the hardtop contrasting black or same color as body
color?
3. If all Tigers came with hardtops, would a Series III Alpine hardtop be
correct on my early Mk1 Tiger (B9470033) which I believe has the series IV
body? (Just so happens this hardtop has become available locally).
Thanks to all,
