Triumph Spitfire Hoods and Hardtops

The Triumph Spitfire hoods and hardtops define the character of your British sports car, offering versatility between open-air motoring and weather protection. At Rimmer Bros, we maintain extensive stocks of soft top assemblies, detachable hardtops, and associated mounting hardware for all Spitfire variants produced between 1962 and 1980. Our inventory serves both restoration projects and ongoing maintenance requirements.

Spitfire convertible systems evolved considerably throughout the model's eighteen-year production run. Early Mark I and Mark II models featured basic soft top mechanisms with manual operation, while later variants incorporated improved frame designs and better weather sealing. The optional factory hardtop remained largely consistent across all model years, providing enhanced security and winter comfort for year-round driving.

Our hood and hardtop range encompasses complete soft top kits in original specification materials, individual frame components, and replacement weather seals. We stock both mohair and vinyl soft top options, catering to different restoration standards and budgets. Hardtop mounting brackets, rear window assemblies, and specialised fasteners ensure proper fitment regardless of your Spitfire's production year.

Quality materials form the foundation of our convertible top offerings. We source fabrics from established suppliers who understand the demanding requirements of classic car applications. These materials must withstand UV exposure, temperature extremes, and regular folding cycles while maintaining their appearance and waterproof properties over extended periods.

Professional installation often requires complementary components from other vehicle systems. Our electrical parts section provides switches and wiring for power hood mechanisms where fitted, while engine components may need attention during major restoration projects. The cooling and heating system often requires updating when installing hardtops for winter use.
