If you want to get another vinyl roof there's a company near Lincoln that do a top job using top quality vinyl and handstitching. A lad in the Manta club got one done for about £120 a few years ago. Very highly recommended. I'll have to dig out the old club mag to get the details, but if your interested I'll do that.

Just noticed where you are Sam. My home town!! 8) Would agree, it is about as far from the sea as possible. I used to work in Meriden which is the official centre of England... Sad fact I know, but next time you're down the pub quiz...

Woo for the Leamington massive! Yeah next time you're back we should have a pint and some Marina blah blah!

I am, at some point, going to have her resprayed and she will be all blue as the vinyl roof was a later addition.

I tcut the roof today, after a light wet sand to remove the worse of the ingrained dirt and glue, and she is at least nice and shiny now, weather permitting may do it again tomorrow and then autoglym it to protect the paint as it has been through a fair bit!

As you can see very patchy and dull

So shiny you can see your face (well arm) in it!

Nice to see the teal colour at long last!
