Well the old roof did not leak all the way to Wales in heavy rain and previous owner said he did 800 miles in the rain and it did not leakAn umbrella would've done a better job than my current one! Thanks again Geoff, much appreciated

This big box has @Geoff Crispin kindly donated roof, followed by Black Diamond brake hoses and seat bushes (that I've had for an embarrassingly long time) I'm going to have a few busy weekends!

I hope your refit goes ok looks like a pig removing all the old sealer but going to so worth it when your done top man Geoff for upcyling.
The least I could do, if no one had been after one it would have been discarded

You can get a new mohair roof including fitted for £700.00 plus VAT (ish).
Jack Smith is much cheaper
I had a hood fitted just yesterday at Jack Smiths.
The current price is £330.

Is that a mohair roof like the original on the Z3s? Where is Jack Smiths based?
I've not heard of Jack Smiths - whereabouts is it? One location or dotted throughout the UK? Sounds a great price!
It’s Mohair. He won’t use PVC/vinyl due to modern UV inhibitors shortening lifespan.
It’s in Swansea. Just a small back street business.

And you're happy with the new roof? Am assuming you've had one...
Yes, as mentioned I had it done yesterday.
There’s little to distinguish it from factory unless you know what to look for.
