Lindon Roadster parts?

[MGLondonRoadste]

While my London Roadster is running, I will need a new top for it. The only gauge working now or correctly is the speedometer, I think. The fuel level gauge, tachometer, oil pressure gauges do not appear to be working at all.

Magic MG does not carry tops that will fit the LR. Any thoughts or other sources?

Well if a ready made top is not available, the next best option would be to have one made. A good tri, shop would be able to make one from scratch. check out boat upholsterers.

I have a 1982 London Roadster. The top got quite beat up by southern Florida sun and salt-water. I asked around at a few boat shops (coastal Maine), but none would take on the job. That was about 20 years ago so my memory is a bit faded as to the reasons they gave.

I ended up making a new one myself. I ruined a sewing machine and what seemed like a hundred needles but ended up with a not-so-bad job. I did not try to re-make the side window panels, just the top.

I had a top with side windows made at a marine upholstery shop.  They did not even have my old top as a pattern. We discussed several times concerning an appropriate design.  It turned out well and the cost was a little more than what MGMagic charged for a top. Down side was that I was turned down several times by at least 10 shops before finding one willing to attempt it.  Also, I had to wait for a slow down in business – just don’t be a hurry! Fortunately, I live near the Great Lakes. Good luck.
