    Hi Dan, You are right about the cockpit of the Alpine. I checked the specs of the Healey 3000 and the Sunbeam. The Sunbeam is actually slightly smaller! Thank you for your comments

    Well I'm not going to put it on BaT. I guess I'll keep it until I find something else that stimulates me.

    1967 Alpine V for sale $ 20,000

    Well, here's what happened. I was all set to go with BaT. Sent them the photos etc. But before I sell it I better make sure there's no difficulty getting in and out of a Healey 3000. I had one in the 70's. About ten years ago I had trouble getting in and out of an MGA, and that was with the top...

    Fastening the convertible top SV

    I have the manual, seen the video, fortunately it's a cloth top so no shrinkage, what I didn't know was the "lower receptacle" that accommodates the toggle clasp is very slightly adjustable, much less than the toggle clasp. Thank you all for your replies.

    Fastening the convertible top SV

    Well another 15 minutes and it's done. If it was raining I'd be soaked. Whoever designed this whole top set up must have been trippin in the 60's.

    Fastening the convertible top SV

    I don't know why I have such difficulty fastening the toggles when I put the top up, which is only once a year due to the weather here. I have been at it for 15 minutes today and getting nowhere. Has anyone else had this problem?
