Yeah it was like that when we got it! It is missing the back bar that keeps it held down and fabrication one has been one of those jobs that we keep putting off!

Fair point. He came very close to bagging a (near enough) NOS Unipart sunroof a few months back that would have solved most/some of our problems with that pile of crap! Sadly we missed the sale.

I want to chop it out and let in a Golde but the bastards won't let me! :lol:

Don't let the bastards intimidate...Mike Tudor's '53 had his 3 fold grafted in. After all it's just an accessory. I'm sure plenty were added after delivery. :wink:

We covered his tail on the way home and the little freshly built 25hp sang all the way.:d

I think it is interesting that of the 3 earliest beetles in the show ( I am assuming as I was'nt there) :

50, 51 & 53, all of them are Swedish, and all are tintops that have had golde sunroofs let in. Also the beige split that was parked outside is a Swedish car too!

Gertie, we have some Golde rear bars that we had made from stainless, I know your roof is Britax and I have not seen it yet to see if it might work. But for me, your Britax makes your car very English and I like it! Golde's are SO common these days :lol:

The white South African '52 was also on display, and Rich Oakley brought along his '47. I get what you're saying though - cars from Sweden seem to be survivors, and they like their ragtops!

When I was looking for mine, I had a few others on the shortlist - one from Belgium, and another from Germany. The German one had accident damage, so I walked away. The Belgian one was poor value compared to mine. I guess Swedish cars tend to be keener priced, as there are so many there......

Do I care that my car's had a sunroof put in? Anyone who really knows their splits will see that the rails have the black plastic beading, thus showing that the ragtop is from a 1953-1955 car (it's actually from a '53), so it's not hiding anything. As far as I'm concerned, it's been let in properly, having been lead loaded as it was done originally, and transforms the car on a summer's day, so I'm happy!

Yes the Britax is quite unique! Well, thats how I like to think of it! :wink: :lol:

I do love a proper Golde ragtop but I just feel that I would always find myself saying when someone mentions it "Yes, well, its been let in!":roll:

I dont know I almost think it is trying to make a car seem rarer than it really is! I can see the reasoning if the roof is damaged but with our car the roof was I am led to believe fine but the previous owner wanted it for driving!

Having said that I do absolutely agree that having a ragtop on a day like today is absolute heaven! :d 😎

I do however have no (even though it is not strictly speaking my car :wink: ) urge to remove the ragtop for a solid roof or Golde! The damage has already been done so lets try and enjoy the outcome! :wink:

Great vid Rob8) :d

I wonder how much the white split for sale is? I recon the alloys and front beam would fetch enough ££'s to replace with originals.

I looked at the mango green & white split:shock: It loked to me as though the owner had rubbed down perfecly good paint to bare steel to give the 'weathered look' every body seems so stuck on at the mo ...bonkers:!:
An old bug or bus is great, but to accelerate the aging process is just dumb.
