At the end of today they still had not reached 100 sales yet.

As for shipping to the UK, I do a ton of international shipping and would be happy to assist. I am sure I can get it to you for less than $195.

Please PM me if you need help.

Wow they still haven't done 100? If I had more money I'd buy another as a spare

If they really made 800 like someone previously stated I feel bad for them, never going to move all of those.

If that is indeed true, I would have to agree with that ...
And as well ... there goes a chance of ever seeing a gray smoke colored sunroof

Maybe the 928 crowd? Do they use the same sunroof?

928 has a much smaller sunroof.

They'll sell them. Just need to get word out. I know two others ordered a top the day of the sale after I mentioned they were available again. There are a ton of Porsche owners that don't come to this site often or at all.

Get them listed on Pelican or a similar 944 parts shop, and they'll be gone soon enough.

Though I still have yet to receive any email confirmation or have my credit card charged for the top which is a bit disconcerting...

I've heard of some Europeans shipping to NL where they have a cheaper import tax (I think that's what they said.). So you could look into that.

Or, I'd take fejjj up on his offer.

I was probably in the first five people to order. I was up at 4:45AM PST that day doing something remotely for work and I think I called them at 5:10AM PST, so 8:10EST right after they opened.
