I have a 75 TR6 and a 76 Spitfire, bot with original top, as far as I can
tell.  Both cars spent a lot of time in Florida.  The TR6 top shrunk so
much it's impossible to fasten, while the Spitfire top works as new.  The
only difference is that the TR6 was stored with the top down for
convenience, while the Spitfire was used less and was stored with the top
up.

Needless to say, I now prefer to park my cars with the top up.
