Take your current hard top off it's less than a dozen bolts.  Keep  the 
brackets and bolts in the vehicle and get some clear plastic sheeting and  duct 
tape.  Leave the door tops on and drive down topless, just  imagine your in the 
Southern Hemisphere where it's Spring and 30 degree  Celsius instead of 
Northern Hemisphere Autumn 30 degree Fahrenheit.   

When you get there put the top on and bolt it into place.  Use the  plastic 
sheeting to cover up the missing tailgate top and alpine window.   Then drive 
back home.
 
You'll do much less damage to both tops if you do it that way.

Ah, it's easy for you sun-bronzed antipodeans to be brave when you're  10,000 
miles away and no chance of having to do it yourself !  
 
Actually, it's a thought  and I'm sure you're right about the damage  angle, 
but I'll probably wimp out. It's not so much the cold as the rain as at  the 
moment it rains virtually every day, I think we're having the wettest year  on 
record. Plus one is a bit exposed in a Landie, now if I were going to collect  
an E Type or TR4 hardtop I'd give the idea serious consideration - snug low  
cockpit, heater full on, probably be quite warm and you can go fast  enough to 
avoid getting wet.
 
Best wishes,
 
Anthony
