If you wanted a honest opinion, I'd say put the hardtop on your watch list,
and wait, unless you really see a "need" for one. As in a driver that you
drive in the winter, or a lot in the summer. I don't know about everybody
else, but I haven't had my hardtop on in 5+ years, and only then because my
soft top needed replacing, and I didn't want to at the time

OK, next question - what's an original TR6 hardtop worth? Yes, I
understand
the fact that finding a hardtop in the same color as your car (and with the
same
amount of sun fade, etc.) is quite remote, but an original top with all the
trim,
glass and headliner plus all the attaching h/w should be worth some premium.
Yes, I do have one but I'm not inclined to sell it at this time (it's a
rather
rare color, Tahiti Blue). I presume it's potentially worth more with the car
than
without.
