I believe I had the same top on my first Tiger but it was labeled Coachman. Bought it in the early 70’s. Dare I say, I actually liked the look of it slightly more than the factory hardtop! I don’t know about you airline pilot, but I bought my Tiger in Sun Valley in 1970.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Kirk<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Tigers <tigers-bounces@autox.team.net> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jay<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, June 23, 2022 9:38 AM<br><b>To:</b> Tiger List List <tigers@autox.team.net><br><b>Subject:</b> [Tigers] Pilot who owned a Tiger and Ferrari in Woodland Hills in 80s<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Anyone here an airline pilot who owned a Tiger and then a Ferrari, and lived in Woodland Hills in the 1980s?

The front and rear clips were basically L brackets with J bolts in them. Years later, when I had money and restored my Alpine, I bought a decent factory steel hardtop and restored it to match perfectly, all new rubber, all new windows and all correct brackets. I finally ditched that silly $75 top.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#141414'><br><span style='background:#FCFCFF'>Then I came to realize how great that Dynoplastic one was.

Quick to put on and off if the need arose.</span><br><br><span style='background:#FCFCFF'>And now instead I have a supremely heavy hardtop with plastic rear window, that I can still put on and off myself - but with quite a heft to get it up and off. In fact, I think I've done it only once or twice since restoring it. Of course that's mostly because I greatly prefer top down driving and don't drive it in the rain. </span></span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#141414;background:#FCFCFF'><br><br></span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#141414;background:#FCFCFF'>Sometimes they say the simpler life is the better life.
