Geoff, Steven

Are there any pictures of the Y with the salt and pepper top? Never knew about the salt and pepper variety. Was that the only color the tops came in?
I have a 49 YT that I bought here in California in 1961 I am the 4th owner). The top had been "chopped" by bending the top arms just above the pivot point to lower the profile and was a white color.

Thanks

I've got 2 copies of Lawson's book (seocnd was a gift) and none of Lawrence's. How if I can find someone with the opposite problem and work out an exchange :-)

Thanks

The tourer came with hood, half tonneau cover and hood compartment cover in salt and pepper. It would be nice to find somebody making SandP.
