I checked about 2012 - it was about $1400 with shipping new from a Lotus dealer in the NorthEast USA. Note that 2012 is a long time ago (front Nova wheels were still in stock, etc.). :facepalmWow! -eek- You can buy a brand new one from lotus for nearly half that amount.
He's the SAME guy selling the COMPOSITE top with at starting bid of $1499...JAE sells the top and brackets and such I thought for about $800....
The guy with the ebay auction is totally mental on his pricing....

There never was anything for the deflector. You can get a fabric tube like a big sock and just slip it over it. The bag IS vinyl and is worth about $100. The glass top with all the hardware is worth around $1200 in good shape. The panel top isn't in big demand. Probably because often it has to be repainted. Seems like when a car is sold the seller holds back some parts to sell separately occasionally.Was there a separate sleeve / bag for the wind deflector piece? It seems to be the part on my car that takes the most abuse. Was going to get a sleeve made for it, but my local upholstery dude is backed up due to the flooding we had here.
Glad I spent a bit of effort to get the spare roof pieces from the PO. They were deep in his garage when I bought the car.

My car came with both the composite roof which was on when I bought it and the glass one as well. Living in Florida where it gets hot, I was reluctant to change over to the glass roof but after a year or so I made the switch and glad I did.I prefer the glass top, it makes the interior a little less claustrophobic. The disadvantage is it gets hotter if you leave the car in the sun.
