Which makes sense given the Miata price point, a hardtop represents a significant portion of the cost of the car, probably one of, if the not the most expensive option on the list no? So nearly 20 years later, with few cars originally optioned for it, many cars gone the way of the scrap yard, and cars originally optioned for it probably retaining their tops, used tops would be darn tough to find, and when the spec miata guys NEED them, they would command a price.

Given adjusted for inflation SLs have pretty much always been $40,000-$100,000, yeah just toss a hard top on there for him.
