I contacted the guy that makes the tops and asked if he would think about manufacturing them again.  He posted on here and didn't have a warn reception because he asked to have at least 20 orders on hand first instead of having an investor front the money.

			I think the best thing the founder could do, if he has the molds as he says he does, is to sell to, or sub-contract through, Porsche to provide them with the tops.  His business track record doesn't allow for him to get confidence or trust from prospective buyers or (according to him) banks.

			What would it cost to ship a top to California?  (Zip Code: 95503).  Just curious on how much it would cost after it is all said and done. 
 
Since the top is $3400 before shipping and before paint.

My zeintop, was the second out of the mould. Pity the company went under, they spent too much money on R&D, thus driving them to the ground, my top was the first top they sold. My father help them with the fitting points design thus we got my top at a good price. The hinges are good quality but the geometry is wrong, I intend modifying mine so that they can work better. The company were working on some really nice products for the 986 including a 986 to 987 front conversion in a kit form.  I live in cape town and the last I heard was that there were 16 unfinished tops still floating around (without glass, fabric roof liner, painted etc) the were going for next to nothing like R3000 for the lot, thats about $400!!! I can try find out were these tops are if anyone is interested...

I'm sure if you could find the unfinished tops folks would still be interested enough to do a group buy on the forum. I'd think the only hassle would be shipping the tops overseas.
