Another hardtop question....
Did any hardtops come from the factory vinyl covered?
I have assumed "no" in the past; and that my hardtop's vinyl covering was put
on by the PO.
HOWEVER...Taylor's book TIGER the making of a sports car...page
182...discusses seven MKII Tigers bought by the dealer
Alan Hartwell.
"The sixth car (which had a vinyl covered hardtop) Hartwell kept for his
personal use..."
??
Perhaps I should restore not remove the vinyl on my hardtop?
