Yes , I've been talking about such an arrangement for a long time . Looks good and will be so easy to get a soft or even hard top made for it compared to hood or total hardtop :D Assuming there's a rear screen in it :?:
Is this a mock-up or have you done it :?: It would be possible to retro ' bolt ' it on too probably :roll:

i like that! it is similar to an idea i had a while ago as an option instead of a soft top but i never got around to doing anything about it!

you could possibly have it removable using similar fixings at the hard top roof on a mazda mx5. i looked at a friends one of them when i was coming up with ideas!

very good! nice to see someone doing things a bit different!

Good design Mike. Bit like a Porsche 914. I like it, but is it turning the car into a targa? I guess if the rear screen is removable (electric!), all that is left is a heavy roll bar feature.
