ID this Hardtop

Looks just like my Tri Carb hard top except the color
 
I'd identify it as way overpriced.

I posted on the linked thread by mistake. This hard top is not for a BJ7 as it has the two aluminium support bars in the rear window, which the BJ7/BJ8 hard top did not have.
 
There should be a number stamped on the aluminum trim piece on the top above the drivers door. This is not for a BJ7.

If the number starts with a 4, it is for a 4 seater. If it starts with a 6, it is for a 2 seater. Price is a little high but in the ballpark for a 2 seater hardtop.

I wrote to the seller and posed a fitment question to Healey Surgeons. Unfortunately, the hard top in question will not fit my 1960 BT-7. I have been searching for an original hard top to fit my 3000 for some time. Does anyone know of one for sale?
Thanks,
Bob
 
Bob--

Four-seater hardtops are quite common and you should have no trouble finding one for sale. Prices vary widely and depend upon condition. Most or all restoration parts are available.
 
i believe that it is a top for a bt7 four seat car. it is not for a bj7,bj8. the pictures he sent me appear to be a proper top for the bt7 car. and the top appears to be in very good condition....i did not buy it because my car is a two seater...just trying to help.
