They are pretty rare but so are t top 2 seaters. I talked to a guy once and ended up buying a t top 2+2 car off him, he said that someone smashed one of his t tops one day and the insurance company almost wrote off the car because they couldn't find another one.

Ohh, you are talking about the whole car? Hard to say without knowing the condition of it, what year is it? It's probably worth a bit less being a left hand drive.

Nah, it'll be an S130, they didn't make t top versions of the S30s.

Early and late S130 2+2:

Late 2 seater

From what I can remember most late 2 seaters in the States were t top and it's rare to find a "slick top" as they call them.
