Kit Convertible:
85:
I have a Kit convertible which was carried out in 1996 using a kit purchased from MBM (Minis Bristol Minis). After 12 years the hood is in desperate need for replacement, I have tried MBM who state they are no longer trading. I do not have details of the kit manufacturer. Can anyone suggest anywhere I could either get a replacement or maybe get it repaired? I will try to include a photo:



Any non-standard parts that might be involved with the problem?

Thank you. I will give them a try.

I have been for a couple of quotes which are quite high, but this is for a bespoke made hood.
Does anyone recognise the manufacturer of the convertible kit from these other pics?
Would rather be spending my hard earned on interior!
