Geoffeg,
I got a complete leather MGB GT interior from Prestige in UK for about
US$1,000 (that is everyr\thing except headliner) so their carpet sets may
be reasonable too. I found their quality excellent - better than
Moss. Headliners are a different matter! I went to the people who did our
settees and they had swatches on automotive stuff. I picked a matching
headliner -sexy! not vinyl, with foam backing and matching plain vinyl for
posts etc (I have a GT). Cost of material was Cdn$87 and I paid the chap
Cdn$40 to cut new hardboard trim for the back of the GT and stick material
on headliner board thing. You HAVE to use correct glue on headliner
otherwise it falls off. Paying the Cdn$40 was cheaper than buying the glue
and other materials!!! So new headliner cost was about US$85
