Porsche is concentrating the production and therefore has decided to
end the production of the Roadster. In the future there will be only
the Coupe, the Hardtop and the Cabriolet. But many customers are still
driving the Roadster and the Convertible. Even the Speedster can be
seen at many Motor-sport events. These sporty open cars have the
disadvantage over the Cabriolet not to have a good weather protection
over the winter period. The top has always left some wishes open. There
have been various tries to make a hardtop, but none of the products have
been successfully produced. Now, the company Meinhard in Munich,
together with the Nauheimer Karosseriefabrik, have developed a new
hardtop. This new product looks very good and seems to be very well
made. One can change this 15 kg hardtop without extra help in only
minutes. The rear window is vented. The price DM 1050.00
