QUOTE(Starlack @ Oct 8 2016, 09:23 AM)  Hello everybody Yes it is a converted original roof. There are one or two little things I would change. But not much. It is certainly not as good quality as the roof of the Mikey914 but it has become very good as I find and I like it. Especially since the effort has kept me limited. The main problem is to bring the acrylic glass into the right shape. If you know how is that no problem. On the next roof, the little things will not be any more ... I drove today for the first time and it is already a crazy feeling with it. It is just as bright as without a roof without wind. Very strange but nice. Lan Scott. Sorry iam not understand what is the Question from You Is there a difference between years reference fit, for roofs? Ian |

I'm pretty sure early goes through '72 and late from '73 on but I won't swear to it. The window fit will be different to the roof so it does matter. |

OK. now.
Yes there are differences. Somewhere someone has described the differences with photos. I think that was somewhere here in this forum. |

I have an original Saratoga top for my 911 Targa, and the feel truly is great! I hope that these can be successfully recreated for our 914s, and incorporating a third brake light would be a great idea as it would shine at the perfect height for today's traffic.
The open air feel of the tops make them desirable when the weather isn't the best to have the top off. We took a fall driving tour in the Targa last year and even my wife enjoyed the scenery without the buffeting as these Porsche Club driving tours tend to become rather spirited!
