At the concours on the weekend I asked a owner of a Surrey top TR4A about 
added rigidity given by the Surrey top. He said that on his car at least, 
there was a minimal difference in rigidity with the top on or off.

I have never driven a Surrey top TR4/4A with any enthusiasm so I can't 
really say for sure (my only Surrey top drive was in someone else's TR4 so I 
took it very easy).

What is the consensus of the list on this point?

Cheers,
