[Mgs] value of removeable MGB hardtop?

[Chad Cooper]

I was going to say $500 also.  That seems to be the average rate I have seen
for a "factory" top.

No, they aren't worth much of anything. I'll give you $50 for it.

Yes, they are considered desirable accessories. The factory ones are steel,
with rear quarter windows, and kind of an angular look. The typical
aftermarket hardtop (Snugtop is common) is fiberglass and more
rounded-looking. Some have quarter windows and some don't.

They don't seem to change hands very often, so I don't know what they might
go for. But if I found one in serviceable condition for $500, I'd be pretty
happy, I think.
