While I do not own a factory hard top, I do know that
there was a "special" hood cover when the car was
fitted with a factory hardtop. This would allow the
person to leave the soft hood installed when fitted
with the hardtop.
Cheers,

JZ,
I concur with Todd's statement. I have a hardtop (although in the 9 years
I've owned it, it's never been on the car) and the special boot. I never
understood why my boot was different from others until a very knowledgeable
soul
explained it to me at a local British car show. He also pointed out that
hardtop models did not have the windscreen capping plugs (TRF catalog, green
#2,
page 373, items FG30 and 31).
What specifics do you need ? I will try to help. The car, boot, and
hardtop are easily accessed.
Regards,
Vic Snively
