[Tigers] Replacing Soft Top

Good day folks:

I am closing in on completing my "going on forever" restoration of the 
mighty Tiger. Last on the list following the nearly completed resto of the 
interior is the replacement of the ancient vinyl soft top.

At the TE/AE Annual Meet in Rockland, Me. in 2010, There were several 
Alpines and Tigers present with relatively new soft tops fitted, and several 
did not look good. The consensus among those present was that the patterns 
were getting old and not providing an accurate panel shape to provide a 
proper fitment. There were two tops that I saw, however,  that were 
outstanding, but unfortunately they both came from the U.K. and neither 
owner could recall the name of the  manufacturer.

Have any of you purchased a soft top recently that you are very happy with, 
or know of a recently purchased soft top that impressed you with the fit and 
finish? I'd really appreciate some direction as to where to find a good 
fitting soft top.

TIA,

Dave
