The surrey top, if factory (i.e. not fiberglass) and complete adds a
minimum of $2k and probably more. As far as the OD goes, be
optimistic! There are a whole list of minor glitches, ranging from a
broken wire to a bad adjustment, which will cause an OD not to work.
Tell the seller to lower the price $500 because on the non-op OD, and
trust to good old british engineering to come out ahead! Regards, Bill
