Rennlist seems to be buzzing about the original Saratoga tops being built again? Not sure if they are building the one for our teeners? Only saw info on the 944/911/etc. What have you all heard?

The last word posted on this topic, IIRC, is the original molds were destroyed. Having owned the original Saratoga top and 914rubbers WAS top, I think the new WAS top overcomes most of the shortcomings of the Saratogas.

The ones Mikey makes are fair better than the old 914 Saratoga tops! I had a 944 that I put one on and really loved it though completely different.

Bought one back in the early or mid 70's and used it sparingly- was never that impressed with the workmanship and mounting hardware. Still have it in a box up in the garage attic somewhere...
When I did use it and the car had to sit out for a while, it got VERY hot inside!! |

I use mine in the spring and fall. These were never what you would call top quality. There is no way it will seal out the wind or rain. That said--it's a cool item and I would never give it up. Ray
