General almost there

Just need to wait for the salesman to get hold of the log book and it'd barchetta time baby.

T reg 45,000 miles on the clock.

Nothing out of the ordinary to report as the B hasn't been touched since it was first purchased. Even the original tape deck is still there!

Probably look to get a strut brace as my first add on and probably a new stereo. If I can stretch to a mohair roof then that as well. That'll probably have to wait though.

Bring it on.

Nice one, I didn't get a mohair but simmilar material type roof for 320 Euro's about £220 and you can get any colour you want from germany on ebay so their not as expensive as you may have thought. Car looks good initially I was going to get a blue one but went for silver instead. The blue is a great colour for the Barchetta.

Hi Alan

That's the tricky thing. The Barchetta looks good in most colours I think. Even the yellow. Only the orange and light blue colours weren't considered.

I'll have a look around for those soft tops. I fear I would have some kind of breakdown if i tried to fit it myself though. Doesn't look like the easiest thing to do.

It wasn't that hard and there is a guide on how to do it.

Cheers Alan

Looks like a attractive option then.

Hi
You can find the guide that for fitting the softtop on this forum or on barchettamondo.co.uk. I have not had a go at fitting the top myself, but I will next time.

This is where I got mine......http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8074557508&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1

Currently £202 + 20 euro postage.

Not sure where your from but if anywhere near Cumbria you can have a look at the material & see what you think.

 

[doolahrock]

With you.

This is the one i was looking at

Not sure what the quality difference, if any, would be.

I had a look on that one but didn't supply the colour I wanted. If i can remember was quite arrogant when asking a question on how to fit it so didn't bother.
