Took me awhile to find this one in the archives.  From SOL #463:

#       or TR7/8 convertible, cut pile nylon carpet, $158.  Corresponding
#       prices for wool carpets are $263 and $289.  Convertible top prices:
#       MGB $159.95   TR7/8  $159.95   True, they're not Robbins/Be-Att but
#       they're US made and lots cheaper.  Anyone bought anything from them??
#       How is the quality of their stuff?
