as long as it's a keiths one, they're all the same. poppers all in the same places. If you order one from him, it will come ready to go on.

Right then I have just found out the conversion was carried out by 'Mill Garage Conversions' so I whacked that in Google and came up with a garage in Scotland. So I gave them a ring and they only do motorhome conversions and seemed convinced they would never have converted a Mini into a convertable. So anyone got any info on Mill Garage Conversions? I just want a new damn roof!!

take several pictures of your hood, in particular the fold down mechanism of the hood and email them to [email protected] he will identify who's kit it is or if his is compatible or not. if it is his hood, he will send out colour swatches of material available for the new hood for you to match to the car and advise you of the current price and how long it will take to make.

Keith is the only manufacturer i know of who is still making these type of kits, i have owned one of his and the car my wife has now has an autodesign one which we cannot get a hood for... when the time comes, we will take the car to "all wheel trim" in Witney who will make a new hood from mohair from scratch.. it will take a week, cost 600-750 quid but will last twice as long as a pvc or duck material hood.

I've emailed keithsminis but no reply...........anyone got a phone number?? Although my mini looks different to some Keiths conversions I've seen I think. I can't work out if the roof is supposed to fold down, so it just comes off completely. Heres are few pics. What do we think??
