Webasto roofed 401īs
From what I remember being told by Tom Craig when I bought UML many years ago that it was the second of two cars converted, it was Tom told me done as a favour for* a supplier of leather to Antony Crook but because of the problems of dealing with the structural tubes in the roof no more were done. I think Tom bought the car directly from Bristol Cars so I always assumed that this information had come from Mr Crook himself. Certainly for the brief time I used the car the arrangement worked well , when closed it was always water tight and when open and the windows down in the summer it was a joy to drive, the finish of the headlining left a bit to be desired though. If I remember rightly Tom told me,but I never checked that the installation required an extra steel frame to link the tubes that had been cut. Good luck with the hunt for parts.
