Fellow (TR) Scions,
I'm gonna restore my 1965 TR4A next winter and there is one part which will
be hard to replace.  The car has a Surrey top (fixed rear window, Targa-like)
complete with the original SOFT top.  Since the hardtop panel is too big to
stow in the car when removed, I leave it home, making the soft top essential
here in the Northeast. The original soft top is torn and stiff and shrunk.  I
have never seen a new Surrey soft top offered anywhere.   Has anyone seen one
of these advertised?  Has anyone ever needed one?
Options that come to mind:
        of  Find a top shop which can make one from scratch.
        of  Buy a full-size top and have it altered to fit in back.
        of  One more repair to the old rag....
Does anyone out there have help or other suggestions?  Much appreciated!
Cheers!
George
