As I tried to explain, what I found worrying was that they didn’t talk to me after I placed the order. Which seemed odd.

Re: Ebay item: Z1 Hard Top

The auction for the red one was ended because 'the item is no longer available', so not clear if it sold elsewhere or got withdrawn. The green one sold for £530 without a fitting kit.

I'll be fascinated if anyone knows what happened to either of them.
