    Hi all.

    So now the Glas roof is on the car an in my weiv it is looking sooooo good. And it is giving me one extra centimeter of head space and from the inside it is very close to driving with the roof of. I hope you like it. No we are only waitning for some spring to come to this part of the world.

    Best Regards

    Hi Mike.

    Yes it is an Saratoga top. It was found in a Ferrari workshop and the mecanic called me and asked me if I would like to buy it. You think I said ;-)

    To day i got an offer for the glas roof ( It is not for sale ) for 2000 US-Dollars for it. I did not know that it could race that kind of money.

    Oh yes, I think "in the day" they were $700 -800USD.

    Now commonly change hands around $1200USD from what I have seen.

    As they are not replacable without much search, I think you did the right thing in turning $2K down!

    "Let the Sunshine in"......I hearing that '70s song in my head, now...thanks for THAT! LOL!

    I have the glass roofs in my TransAm..nice for a change from my GTBs.

    Apparently, they are pretty scarce over here, so they fetch big money. I'd love to get one for my 328, but not at those prices.

    It's true, Saratoga did made a lot of this for the different cars but I think not so many for the 308/328

    Anyone know if Saratoga the company is still around? I wonder if someone could do another run of these.

    I did a search online and could not find the Saratoga company anywhere. The best thing is just to search for the top online, they do pop up every no and then.

    If the numbers "didn't work" for Saratoga, I doubt they would work for Pilkington....:D :D
