Max,
I ordered one of these tops some time ago; when it quickly arrived, I was
happy to see that it was made by Robbins, of very good quality. It fit
perfectly and looked good. It is black vinyl on a tan cloth backing. The only
tops I have ever seen with a tan exterior, were canvas. They are gorgeous,
but expensive, but definitely beautiful... and they look nice too. Had they
only been available when I did my MGA...
