Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner- I'm also somewhat interested in hillman
parts, so put me on the list...
I've tracked down a few things for a Tiger (easy) and a Sunbeam Imp.
It's my inpression that the only real US suppliers are those who carry
Sunbeam Alpine (Victoria British, Tiger Tom's, etc.) It seems that
there a few folks around the country who have stashes of Hillman/Sunbeam
parts, but it's hit or miss. I may be able to get a couple of names.
I need to get my sunbeam parts catalogues back from a friend, but here's
a couple:

Interiors for British sports cars. Healey, Mini, Jaguar, MG,
Sunbeam, TR. Carpeting, seat and panel upholstery, tops, tonneaus,
headliners, sheepskins, protective mats, seat covers, trunk mats.

Some parts may be available from a generic brit-part dealer or swap meet,
if you've got the original in your hand, or have a lucas/lockheed/etc.
part #. I know there's got to be better sources, but most are in England.
Look in the British car magazines for suppliers, and clubs. British marque
clubs can be a major source for parts.
