A mate of mine is looking for a Samba roof for his Split.
Is he dreaming? If not what would one cost?

Yep I've been looking for one for about 5 years - hope he has better luck than me. I'm sure they are out there but may have to try and source one from the US if he has a chance?? :duh

Ask Rob K or Muller ... fitting a Samba roof is not easy, does he have the glass too...but then it will still be a windowed van with a samba roof, if you get my meaning, so wont actually be a Samba ... that is to say if he's chasing the perceived $$$ for a Samba.
Bit like a Chop-top Beetle vs a real Cabrio. Does the job, but isn't the same thing. The roof section itself will be worth more than a roof, but then the cost of application would be significant. Ask Muller about the pro-s and cons.

You can get them from the UK, remember the 2002 brand new old samba?
If you had a samba to cut the roof out of it would be worth more to resto the samba.
Would it be a samba with a new body or a body with a new roof?

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.
