Top material and Wigan
The top on my TC is new and made of wigan cloth. It looks great - much nicer than anything else I've seen, including stayfast and vinyl. The stayfast full tonneau I purchased from Moss motors is an ugly reddish tan - certainly a far cry in color from what the factory would have used.
I did an internet search and came up with several sources for wigan. Here is one:

This summer I'm going to track down the fabric mill that makes it and see what dye lot sizes are. If this wigan is in fact what the factory used, it might be good for someone (I could be it) to stock the fabric so it's available to all wanting to keep TCs in original trim.
