I have just bought a 1989 White Clipper Cabrio on a whim and I am now wondering what to do with it!
It will need an engine service and a Cam Belt to be on the safe side
Cosmetically it looks to have been resprayed a few years back but it needs new hood to make it really nice.
With the White paint and a Grey check interior, I am tempted to fit a Grey Mohair Hood but wonder if the non standard hood will be the wrong thing to fit.
Any Comments please?

Yes get a good service and cam belt done if you don't know when it was last done.
With the roof it's your car and so stick on what ever colour roof you like, I think it would of had a black roof from factory as the clipper was the base model, what colour roof is on the car?
From the pictures the car has had some different parts fitted already so changing the colour of the roof is not going to make any difference to the price.
I've seen white cars with different coloured roofs but can't say I've seen one with a grey hood, maybe google it to see if you like the look?
White, black or red is the colours I've seen before?
