BD20687 VERY RARE ORIGINAL E-TYPE HARD TOP S1 & S2
Condition: Used
£5,000.00
Hello folks, I was surfing ebay UK and stumbled on this, The top is incomplete and I thought the asking price was outrageous but on the contrary the Mercedes hard tops for the SEL 300 was posted on ebay for over $20,000. At this price comparatively it seems reasonable at $7000.00 with exchange…
Hi Jack and I agree because It might be rare there hence supply and demand for a factory original. The chrome drip rails, the horizontal pieces at the bottom of the rail all sells for almost $2000 per piece per side, not to mention the rear glass, and a paint job, it does add up. Whoever has a complete hard top in perfect condition should consider themselves very fortunate
Last year I bought an OTS that came with a decent factory hardtop. I’m beginning to feel like I bought a factory hardtop and it came with a decent S2 E-Type attached to it.
Most of the hardtops that are on Racing Jags are after market, take a look at the lack of trim
and drivers do not want the big weight penelty of an original top they want the reduced wind drag
that a hardtop affords! So they seek out light weight tops.
Thank you. Geo Hahn, how might I ask you a question, please? I can’t seem to figure out how to ask other members questions directly - either via this site nor email? Regards, Jay Miller
They all have their advantages: my personal favorite is SNG. That said, Terry’s has a good reputation as do other suppliers, about which there are many threads in the archives.
