Anyone know why they had a different hard top? What was wrong with the standard UK version?

It's the optional removable GRP(?) hard top on a soft top. They also got the normal roof on Station Wagon models Smile  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

Thanks.

Off to Google how easy it was to take off/put on.

Is it just the light or is it suffering quite badly from uv damage?

It does look like uv damage but some autogleam products would soon make it black again I’m sure. It does look very smart. 2015 HT XS 90

I had two GRP hardtops over the years on my NAS 90 soft tops. One I painted body color and the other I just let fade naturally. The key problem with the top was it’s fragility - taking them on and off was pretty involved and you had to be exceptionally careful not to break them especially at the relief to clear the roll cage at the b-pillar. The best bet was really to leave them on all the time, which ultimately made them an inferior alternative to the normal metal roof. I finally just went that route and converted the yellow truck to a traditional top with the series-style cat flap at the back.

I took a NAS 90 when I was stationed in Moscow. I put the hard top on before I left since there seemed to be little sense in having a canvas roof in Russia. Sold the truck not long after I got back, definitely should have kept it!
