Anybody got for sale a hardtop, preferably including a windscreen? Alternatively, a blueprint for same? There could be problems because of the built in roll bar. Thanks

I've never seen a hardtop for a Lomax and it strikes me that unless you have doors it would be very difficult to get in or out. It is bad enough with the hood up on mine!
What roll bar?

Just to throw some thoughts into this thread perhaps you could have a chat with a small boat builder and see if he could knock you up a
fibreglass laminated shell which you could trim to fit. And finish to match your car. As far as getting in how about two hinged targa
flaps which hinge upwards on gas struts. Or even better how about fabricating one yourself using a beach frame work and cover
with ally panels or bendy ply. Food for thought. Dave.

Take a look at Ron's superb Lomax system in Flat Out 2014 March-April page 26. If you don't have this edition you can download it from this website.
Or this idea from Burton

The password is printed on the label of the envelope in which 'Flat Out' arrives...

Which gets recycled as soon as it arrives!

My Lomax has doors, but is no easier to get into with them open. I generally slide in- so much for doors!
