OEM Soft top?
« on: March 31, 2015, 08:31:44 »
Hi all
I live in the UK and  am restoring a 69 280SL and want a new soft top to original specs in navy blue.
Could you tell me who supplies the most accurate replacement as I want the car to be factory correct?

Many thanks

Second Colins comment, Used KHM twice for tops and it is a good product.

Mine is from GAHH.

Pretty good but not perfect which is due to the fact that I have an early softtop frame (with wooden bow & chrome strip).

My 2 cents...,
go for KHM !
(which I will do on the next car)
