Spitfire. The world of hardtops
A roadster is bought to travel in open air, and then it often ends up covered with an hard top. I do not know if this is a contradiction, but as a matter of fact among the accessories for Triumphs, hardtops are at the foreground, with a great variety of models produced by so many small enterprises.
