Victoria British has many of the items you seek on special in their
latest catalog. I have found most of the parts (esp. upholstery and
tops) offered by the big three (Sunbeam Specialities, Classic Sunbeam,
and Victoria British) appear to be manufactured by the same vendor. I
have bought stuff from all three and VB does give the lowest amount of
expertise.
Most of the stuff I have purchased came from SS and I have been more
than happy with the customer service. I did by a rear sway bar for my
Alpine from SS was shipped a Tiger bar. I called Rick at SS and he
suggested I call the manufacturer for a replacement. I wound up selling
the sway bar to a Tiger owner.

Hope this helps
