Roadsters in the tradition of the great European Sports cars of the 40's, 50's, 60's, and beyond, were popular among a suprisingly large number of automobie enthusiasts because they were two seater, open toped cars with manual gearboxes and were a ball to drive. Comfort was not an issue. I bought a new, 1967, E-Type Jaguar roadster in the summer of that year. It had no power steering, no power windows, door locks seats, no air condiioner, no cd player no anything but pure, shift it yourself, 265 hp. 4.2 litres of twin cam in line 6 cylinder, screaming Jaguar. Oh yes, i also bought a factory removable hard top.

I owned the E-Type for six years and the hard top for less than a year. The hard top was on the car for about ten days. It transformed the JAG'S driving experience into something like eating a bowl of cold oatmeal, without sugar.

Trust me you don't need a hard top for your Sky, especially one as ugly as this one.
