Can anyone tell me about the hood fitted to the Star (and Leader I presume?). Is it from another donor vehicle or is it bespoke? I guess if I want a new one it will be a made to order item and therefore expensive? Any decent second hand ones about? Thanks.

one came up on eBay last November -

it got to £100.....

The hood is bespoke and even if you do find one from a Star it will be around 30years old.
The leader ones can be made to fit as similar shape and size.
We have two Stars in the family and the hoods on both are different in their fixings.
The one on my brothers Star has shrunk and mines long rotted away.
There are companies who make them to order check out this forum or locostbuilders for quality recommendations etc.

Cheers, much as feared, second hand like hens teeth and new expensive! The hood I have is serviceable (just) rear window is opaque but guess this could be replaced and the odd tear repaired - seems best way to go?
Hope it's a sunny summer!

if you have one to use as a pattern I guess that'll be cheaper than getting one made by just measuring the car.

just avoid the rain!

Sorry buddy it was me that got that one last November for £100 it's the only 1 I have seen. Can send you my old one if you need it for pattern
