I never heard of such a thing, either. But I also don't think there ever
was a tan top offered (under normal circumstances) by the factory. Black
was the "norm," although ISTR white tops might have been available at
least on the early Mk.IV models. I know white tops were a bit more common
on the older round-tail Spitfires.
