@DD61690 – Do you have a working soft top with frame? Do you have any by pictures of the top up? ...
Yes, I added photo's to the gallery a day or so ago. Please see the end of Carousel 2. The top and bows are in very good condition, they are never used and in fact have not been on the car in more than 10 years. Not possible to put it up now. The owner is an older guy and frankly I don't want the paint damaged with any accidents trying to put it up on his own. Thanks
