The tin-top that was offered to me was simply too good to pass up, despite my love for T-Bars.

I paid top whack for it, but the condition and history is outstanding and I am sure I would struggle to find another one like it.
The only downside is that the current(soon to be previous!) owner has removed the aircon, so I am now scavenging for parts to reinstate it.

Completely off-topic- I just renewed my premium membership and my last avatar reappeared; a picture of my last MR2 Turbo that I haven't seen for many years.

All the points above are subjective and differ from car to car.My tintop never felt lighter or less creaky than any of my t-bars.
Buffering is only an issue above 60mph.
Literally takes 1 minute to get both sides out and stowed.
And IMO it looks brilliant with the panels out, if anything makes it more interesting.
Even if theyre not leaking into the cabin they're leaking into your sills.But I'd like to see some one get both panels off and stowed and ready to go in less than a minute.

Before I bought mine I'd driven and sat on quite long journeys in a friends T-bar, nice feeling of spaciousness-ness, alas it leaked..badly and looked a bit grotty, I guess the rubber was going hard.
So it was moonroof for me and as you know, I love it.
Think someone mentioned before that you don't get any leakage at all and when the sun is out it comes off and goes in the frunk, bigger than a normal sunroof so you still get that feeling of spaciousness-ness.

It honestly takes a minute or less.Granted I do take them out a lot.
How hard is it?
Seat forward.Unlatch.
Stow.
Seat back.
Repeat on other side.
Job's your uncle etc.

Having commented on your Pistonheads threads a few times over the years Danjama talking about how I would one day get another turbo, I am very happy the day has finally come around!
Good things come to those who wait..
