    I came across this soft targa top that allows for the car to be driven while in place. It folds down for more compact storage than the rigid standard hardtop. I don't beleive this to be from ferrari, but rather an aftermarket accessory. Has anyone ever seen one of these before or know anything about them?


    For reference, I attatched a photo of the "sebring top", as well. The sebring top is not designed to be used when driven, it simply allows one to keep the water out when parked and the hard targa is not being used. This soft targa top isn't the same as the sebring top.

    This looks like the factory "soft top" which was intended to be used on days when parking the Dino without the hardtop in place. I bought one from Dennis McCann in the early 90's.

    There is a bit of difference - the "rivets" and rails are not original.

    I think there's one on Ebay right now.

    Gotta re-do that search, look again.


    Happy hunting.

    what's on ebay is the vinyl cover that covers the hardtop when it is stowed behind the seats. it isn't either one of these.
