I looked in the Parts List but not enough detail is listed. I can
only go by what is listed in the Sunbeam Specialties catalog; Crush-Grain
type Everflex British Vinyl is also available in a variety of colors in the
leatherette finish used on the early Tigers. That still means little to me
so I think you should talk to Rick at SS to see if he has better or more
complete information.

Subject: [Tigers] Correct/most original soft top material for an early Mark
1 Tiger
Hello! I'm actively restoring a pretty original early mark 1 Tiger
(B9470334LRXFE) and want to bring it back to as close to original condition
as is reasonable for a car I intend to actually drive. As the car is in
need of a complete repainting, I'm planning the teardown and gathering the
pieces that need to be replaced for when I start putting it back together.
To that end, the top on the car is a replacement in pinpoint vinyl which has
some tears and other issues leading it to needing to be replaced.
To that end, I've seen different sites listing conflicting or at least
unclear information as to what material is closest to the original. I'm not
sure if it should be a pinpoint vinyl or a crushed grain vinyl. The
Everflex at least has the grey interior, but I don't know if its texture is
at all correct and would appreciate whatever guidance all of you can give.
Thank you very much!
