[alfa] Re: Spider top with Zip-out rear window

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi George, Biba, et al:

At one point in the recent past, Matt at Re-Originals advertised such a 
top.  I recall that it was Italian-made and even came with not one, but 
two, zip-out rear windows (one extra; the top only had one window).  I was 
too scared to ask the price, but since I've had my '87, I'm leaning more 
towards such a top.  The top on my '87 is an almost-new Alfa original top, 
and I was thinking of pulling it off the car and having a local shop 
fabricate a new window/zipper arrangement.  Anyone had success with that 
route?  Finally, not that I'd buy another Caribou top, but I think Ed does 
advertise tops with zippered windows for several types of Brit cars.

Regards,

Dean
