Deserters and Bounty Hunters were different lengths so make sure you get the right one. Deserters were 4 inches longer.

MD, thanx for the headsup, but our project [ still Buggy based ] is slightly longer and wider than either of the stock models.It will be unique in the marketplace for a number of reasons that will become obvious further down the line.

The top would have to be quartered and fettled to fit our application. It also depends where the additional length comes in. I suspect that might not be the cabin area.

At the moment a Gullwing top for either is OK, we just need the basic outline, but thanx again for the info. ;-)up

MD, thanx for your continued feedback .......... the Red car is the style but it looks like it's been modified to be a permanent fixture ?

For my application it needs to be removable.

I'm not sure how to post pix yet, as soon as I do I'll post up the actual item I want. I've tracked down 2 - owned by the same woman, but she doesn't want to play.

Do you know of any UK / EU source for those ?

Yes - we have found a German woman who has TWO ! But won't part with one or hire it out. ::) Making her an offer which hopefully she can't refuse !

Also found examples in Belgium and Switzerland - but again, can't prise one loose.

Thanx to all for your feedback.
