Listers,

While in Portland for the VTR convention I did some wandering around in the 
dungeons of the parking garage and ran across a TR4A that had a Surrey 
Top Backlite installed. However, instead of having the canvas top or the 
metal top installed the owner of the car had a Tonneau cover on the car. 

This was the first time that I've seen this and was wondering if this was a 
factory arrangement or something that the current owner rigged up for 
himself.  

I don't recall ever seeing any reference to this combination before.  The 
installation seemed to be a nice one and it sure didn't look out of place.

Does anyone have any clues on this or possibly know who the owner of 
the car was?  I believe the car was black but I'm not 100% sure on that point.

TIA
