Anyone know a way to source these? What are peoples experiences of these roofs?

We had a look at one - can't remember if it was a Reimo or Carthago. Looked like that down, but it went up "square", rather than tilting.

It was, imho, the worst of both worlds. I couldn't stand up in it with the roof down (I'm 6'2") and there'd be the perennial wet canvas/poor insulation problems, but it was still tall and fugly.

The interior was OK, but not as good as Westy - design or quality - either.
