clams, it's always the clams
That d.morris top makes my oem look like a weak aftermarket attempt. How many clams for that rascal? For those lines I might give up the oem fabric liner and aluminum shell.

I commented previously that the top looks stunning, but any prospective buyers are going to have to REALLY want this item.
At today's rate, cost of the top is USD$3513.48. Import duty is 2.5% of the total value - $87.84, other U.S. Customs fees totaling $16.57, brokerage and bond fees, another $200.00, and then there's the freight. LCL ocean shipping would be the most cost effective. Figure another $450.00 to $650.00 for freight, terminal fees, and delivery.
And don't forget, the hardtop will have to be crated at the shipping point, from fumigated or heat treated wood. Don't know what they charge in France, but here it'd be another $250.00.
Estimated total $4500.00 - $4700.00. (Your results may vary.)
Just keepin' it real................

Yes cost is a problem, and getting it approved by ones boss (the wife) is the biggest obstacle, but I am looking to bring one in.

and paint - another $1000 probably.
see what kind of interest you get; a group buy might reduce some of the overhead costs (and perhaps purchase cost).
