A. The "standard" chop

This Minor is described as having "a 3-1/2" roof chop with a flattened centre . . ."
(ignore the gasser chassis and supercharger scoop).

B. The "tapered" chop

Paul Kelly (Australia) chopped this one "3 1/2" at the front and 5 1/2" at the rear."
It also has the later model (larger) rear window.

C. The "coupe" chop.

This metallic red Minor is one that has been converted from a 4-door, four passenger sedan (saloon in the UK) to a 2-door, two passenger coupe. The roof appears to be pretty close to full height.

The white coupe to the left was described by the photographer as being "chopped by about 4 inches" and I believe there's an extra 10" or so between the trunk and roof.

D. The "total" chop.

This roadster's top folds up, but the same look could be achieved with a rigid "Carson top."
