Try looking for second hand roofs. Westys are expensive unless very tatty. Can still get a devon pop top for a pretty reasonable price and they look pretty good. Try looking on ebay and contact breakers etc. Andyvan on here seems to have them for sale fairly regularly.

No probs. In my opinion the only way to go is to buy a second hand one. New kits are just so expensive but it depends on what you re after. Once you ve had a look around I'm sure you ll make the right choice!

Or you could go another way and get a HIGHTOP from Timber Technician. They are in Calverton just outside Nottingham.
It cheaper than getting a poptop (£900) and you get to stand up inside the van without having to lift the roof up.

Good luck.
