I've only seen 1 unit for sale when I bought it.

Just bought a nice, brand spanking new soft top. Which is great, because my old one was starting to fall apart. Perfect timing. 

I'm thinking of following suit, how much would a watertight but faded blue top be worth you reckon? I Need to budget the cost to change.

 

In good nick, at least £100 I would have thought? People have successfully dyed them black, too.

Advertised prices of 2nd hand soft tops are normally well north of £100. Given that eliseshop sell soft tops for £800 plus VAT, the ones here are a bargain. http://www.elisepart...rt-s2-soft-top/

I sold a secondhand one for £350

With the factory hardtops are any other parts required or does it clip straight into the softtop fixings?

Some old NA's have a softtop only version of where the part in the rollbar. (left)

You can replace it for a later version (cheap) with room for the hardtop clip to latch under. (right)

They seem like a bargain but unfortunately blue softtops just don't look right on any colour and I suspect will he harder to sell on as a result. I bought a blue one as a spare a few years back thinking it would look good against the Coral blue. But I've rarely used it as it just doesn't suit the car. So I suspect they won't fetch as much as other colours would if they're sold on.

True won't suit any other colours. I managed to get the last one so I will clean my current roof and sell on, maybe dye it black. I really like the blue roof in the europa, but mine is a bit stained though watertight at least. Plus I never had a storage bag so had been looking for one of those for a while too.

Bargainacious, those blue soft tops. They were a crazy price as a factory option when new. Good result getting the bag and the two new roof spars as well. I love my blue soft top (even if I didn't realise it was until Thorney told me one day ). I've got a black one as well and it looks nowhere near as good on the car.

I'll sell my old one now. £600 Ono haha

Agree I loved my blue hood. Seem to recall that the options price was daft money on the original invoice (several hundred quid over just a plain black one).

There are now 3 more Blue soft tops available this morning.

 

Get in quick!
