Here is an unusual find, at least here in the USA. Thanks to Mateo Cono for posting these pics of his TC2 Baur with a newly repainted hard top, which is used in place of the rear fold-down soft top, as an option.
Here is an additional comment from Jeroen July 16 in Facebook:
Jeroen Janssen They sometimes pop up on ebay.de. About 250-300 where build. If a car
was delivered original with a hardtop, the digits which tell the coulour of the roof are
different. With a black sonnenland roof, this means that it would have been B47095-63. The
hardtop was available in every roof colour, but not as PVC.
There are a very rare item in the US, but apparently more frequently seen in Europe.
I do not have many other details, but it appears that Mateo stripped off the original covering and simply repainted the hard top.
Here is a link to some more info on the topic. They apparently originally came in a limited variety of colors, in fabric material. The rear window is heated.
