Just wondering how much hard tops seem to be changing hands for these days. Estoril blue in carry case (if you can call it a carry case) / protective zip-up cover ??

Estoril Hard tops, how much do they fetch these days?
I would say around £600 - £700 would be average

£750 would be a bargain. Top and fitting kit can go right up to circa £1200tc wrote:i estimate: the hard top can go £500 + the fitting kit worth about £250 = £ 750 (that will be my minimum value)...take your time to decide...no hurry...

Just take a look on eBay, you'll see what they go for.
I bought mine for £630, but I was lucky. I have seen them go for £1000 for just the top. It all depends on what the color is and whether or not someone bidding wants that particular color. You have to remember that a decent spray job is going to cost you an additional £200-£250, so a hard top in the right color has got to be worth £200 more to you than one you have to spray.
The fitting kit will cost close to £300 from a dealer, so £250 in ebay is not uncommon. Espaciually as they come up so rarely.
If I were selling a hard top I would wait for the first real frost and for people to have finished paying for the summer holidays. Estoril is a good and a bad color to sell. Good because you have the widest addressable market and bad becasue you have competition. If I were you Tags, I would not take less than £700 as you also have the bag.

Some sound reasoning there guys. No need or rush to sell, i am just thinking ahead as i might need to fund something around christmas time. I always wanted a hard top on all the convertibles i have had, and never had one till i got the ///M. And now i got the ///M it spends most of its time tucked away in the garage and doesnt need the top 
Cheers for the help.

This one is £870 at the moment - so £900 would seem achievable.
