That's really nice.
I was sat at some lights in my 110 yesterday and a guy in a series 3 came tootling past, with his sides rolled up on his ragtop..... I literally said out loud 'cool!'

Then I though 'this is gonna cost some money' .......

So, what cage/sticks and hood did you go for? I just skipped through your thread and can't see.

I really like that.

A soft top 90 (preferably a V

is definetley a bucket list vehicle. 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone
2002 - Black Discovery II - Gone
2014 - Montalcino Red 110 XS SW

Neat trick for the roll up sides (unless you like them to look casually saggy) is to slide some bamboo cane cut to length inside the bottom fold. Keeps the roll up straight, and bottom edge tight against the tub when driving at speed.

Thanks guys

The hood sticks are Purely HD in black.
The hood and fitting kit are from Exmoor Trim.

I've sold the cage already and will advertise the rest soon.

Sorry to be thick CY88, but I'm not sure what you mean. But any advise is always appreciated

Cheers Andy

^^^
My fault, I probably didn't explain it clearly

.

Trim some cane so its slightly shorter than the length of the side of the canvas, and then slip it in alongside the rope on the bottom seam in the photo below..

When you roll the sides up the cane stops the roll of canvas sagging in the middle
