Default Anyone specialise in Cabriolet Roofs & Motors?

My Mum has been quoted silly money to sort the roof motor out on her Rover 200 Cabriolet, and she also wants a new roof fitting but is getting figures quoted that are 3 times what my old Escort Cab roof cost.

Anyone know anyone in the business, or can recommend someone in the Bucks / Beds / Northants area?

a bit far away from you but there is a company in Southend called Hoods Galore. Had a mates roof done there and they did my hood on my BMW. Very good and pretty wel priced.

Cheers guys.

I cant believe the prices of them!!!!! I checked what the same place charge for an Escort Mk3 roof (what I had a few years ago) and they seem to be about the price I paid.

The Rover one just seems about double the price! My Mum best get saving!

rover roofs are fucking PROPPER expensive! thats why you will never see an old one with a new roof
Also the motors are stupidly priced too! IIRC the rover pump is the same as a 306 convertable motor, which i think is a lot cheaper.
