Spider Roof in Mohair

Mohair is a fabric made from the hair of the Angora goat. Because it is both durable and resilient mohair is notable for its high lustre and sheen and is often used in fibre blends to add these qualities to a textile. The term mohair is also used to describe the material used for the folding roof on many convertible cars. In this instance, mohair is used to create a denim-like canvas, usually accepted as the best-performing and best-looking material available for this application. Research shows that Lancia originally specified mohair for the soft tops fitted to all Lancia Montecarlo and Scorpion models. Our own recently-acquired 1981 Montecarlo second-series spider still has its original factory-fitted hood which remained in very good condition despite its age.  Our spider roofs are an exact replica of the roofs fitted at the factory and we have also added a velcro fastening for the hood frame centre strut - the originals were sewn in place, making removal impossible without cutting the material.  Mohair roofs are supplied in with a black exterior finish and a black underside.
