Hardtop For Sale Thread

Post by ben g » Sat Oct 07, 2017 8:49 pm

A few years back a bmw dealer in Germany waa aelling obscure coloured hardtops cheaply. I think they had Merlot ones which were selling for around the £500 mark, possibly even less.

So there must be some around. Maybe they just haven't hit the 2nd hand market yet?

Is your car grey? Looks dark blue.. Would you paint it, worth the bother or just bidding for sport?

25 mins until the ebay one ends. Man I wish they hadn't put up those photo's, could have been a sneaky under the radar bargain.

That was the only merlot one ive ever seen on ebay since ive had my Z, I put a black hardtop on mine which is
titanium silver a black one would look good on merlot as well.

I'm not really sure I can justify spending a fortune on one as I'll be garaging mine most of the time. Yes black would work. Its funny it came up today as someone mentioned only this week that there were some Merlot ones sold by dealer in Germany and that they might come on the market soon - better watch more closely from now on. We can talk about your finders fee :wink:

I've been looking at hardtops for ths last 4yrs and thats the first merlot one I have seen, and not sure why
but this year there has been a few hardtops on ebay and gumtree they have been way overpriced in
my opinion.

It could be worth you looking on the german and dutch ebay sites too see if you can find anything,
if you do can just make a weekend out of picking it up and giving the Z's legs a good stretch as well :driving:

The Merlot roof in question was advertised as second hand, no scratches were mentioned & it was on a buy it now so no shill bidding.

Not sure what youre getting at :o
