Anyone have a picture of a factory hardtop for a 73 B?

Here you go. My 1968 MGC...

Nice looking cars! I like the C with the hardtop installed. Classic look to it.

I'm thinking of a roadster and would love to find a C. I don't think anyone around here has one. I'd like a daily driver which is why I am looking for a roadster.

Here's my 1969 MGC with hardtop....

Thanks for the pictures. The top I just got doesn't look like that. It has a 70ish textured covering on it and the shape is slightly differant.

Ok, was looking on Ebay and came across item #250120991074 which is what my hardtop looks like. Any ideas for new seals?

MGB Hardtop by SNUGTOP
Item number: 250120991074

I've read that these seals are still available. Do a search for "snugtop & seals" and you may come with the supplier...or one of our members here may be able to help.

I seem to remember that the company was out of California.

Try https://www.snugtop.com

McGregor ( https://www.macgregorukcarparts.com/ ) and Victoria British may also have the seals/parts in stock.

Agreed, it's a SNUGTOP hard top. I have one for my B also. Mine needs new seals too, and some of the mounting hardware is missing as well.

I've heard the McGregor seals are probably the best/most accurate seals you can find for our cars.

let us know what you find.

Yup..Snugtop was out of Long Beach CA. My TR6 has one....hate it. To be honest the quality of it is nothing compared to the factory tops I have on the B's, but it keeps you warm and dry anyway /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Looks like MacGregor is the place to go. New seals will cost about double what I paid for the top!
Thanks to everyone for the help.

I've the factory top and MacGregor is where I got ALL the rubber for it. He's the only one to have the ~proper~ sized extrusion for the rear glass. He's familiar with Snugtop too. He worked for Pressed Steel LTD. for a few years 'back-when' and has a great working knowledge of the cars.
