They're rare in the US... I got mine in Montreal. I've got an Ashley bonnet
as well, and am making an Ashley GT.

Subject: [Healeys] odd hardtop on ebay.co.uk
Hi Bob
The hard top on ebay is called an ashley hard top, it has a small boot
fitted
to the rear of the hard top and to install this top to your sprite or midget
you need to remove the original steel boot ( trunk ) lid. they are quite
often
on ebay and useally sell for around #120 to #150 uk pounds, they where quite
heavily produced, some people say they are rare but i have two and see them
for sale all the time, judging by the bigger chrome bumbers on the rear it
is
either an early midget or sprite in the back ground. here is a link to a
photo
of one fitted.
P.S i recently asked if any one new exactly how many members where on the
list, the reason was i was thinking of doing a regular healey give away, a
simple and genuine bit of fun, we all put a few dollars n the kitty every
month spend the amount we get on a car pull a name out of a hat and send the
winners name out on the list so everyone knows its genuine, it gives us all
something else to talk about and lookforward to.
