All,

I have a contact in Sydney who wishes to sell a 60 Series Patrol NEW old stock MWB canvas. He is a smart cookie and knows what it is worth, these items don't come up often and to get one made costs a bomb.

Original new old stock MWB canvas, never used, still has paper film on windows, windows have aged, but all intact and probaly can be polished.

Item is located in Sydney Australia, Going by memory weight is around 7kg, look at http://www.australiapost.com.au for shipping costs from postcode 2060

Price - $1200 AUD firm, unsure if he has Paypal
Serious buyers can speak with me first

Please note Leslies comment, this can be altered to fit a SWB

Worth every penny.

NOTE: For our SWB Patrols in the US the top will have to be altered; it is about 6 inches too long. I had to do this with the one I got from OZ. To have it look correct both of the side windows need to be cut down so they are square instead of rectangular. Just an FYI that this will be an added cost. But there is nothing better than having an NOS canvas for your soft top Patrol: the smell, the weight, all the special straps and hardware, just awesome. :drool:

Thanks Swerve! :clap:

Sorry Steve, I didn't even notice that you had that it was for an SWB in the description. I wasn't trying to contradict you.

Yes, I did buy an MWB canvas, and the side windows were identical to this one. That's how I recognize that this one is indeed for an MWB.

Here is a picture of an MWB soft top. Note the rectangular side windows.

Just trying to save someone a big disappointment. :doh:
