Go to victoriabritish.com... While the prices seem kinda high, it's the only place I've seen them listed. They also seem to need some "pre-fab" before installtion, so I would recommend a shop that deals in top installs.

Like I said, the price seems pretty steep to me compared to Miata tops, but there are a helluva lot more Miata's than fc convs...

Victoria British does sell alot of cool restoration stuff for sevens, so the catalog should come in handy anyway...

Good luck with the car, and have fun with it!!!

Most any good upholstery shop can do it. Ask around your town and make some phone calls, see which place does the best in your area.

check AA best tops they have new colors and better quaility fabric. I am going with a Dark ruby with black mixed into the stitching. I had them send me a sample of their top colors and they are sweet.
