Be careful. A friend of mine got some of those from Uncle Roy - the
valves were rotted. |

That's my point precisely. He can fit vinyl roofs - on a related note,
I have seen an RM roof he did, beautifully - but he doesn't make them.

Well I fitted new roof lining to my SD1 - but I couldn't make seats out of
leather.

As I said you want a coach trimmer. Look in Practical Classics etc. Or
even Yellow pages. It's not rocket science, stitching vinyl.

Certainly not to get a vinyl roof - as you appear to have done. ;-)

Then, clearly, it'd be daft to.
So go and buy a pre-cut vinyl roof kit for an SP250 hardtop, then... Oh,
wait. You can't. Because they aren't available... |

Contact an SP250 specialist. If anyone makes such a thing they'd know.
But no-one makes a kit for tiny demand. Ie, 1.

Indeed. But someone may already have done it as a one-off but retained
the patterns. For example, I enquired from a trimmer recently if they
could make a set of carpet for my Reliant Rebel. Sue, they said, and
we'll do it for 40% off because we can keep the pattern for the
future. Automec do the same with brake pipe sets - if yours is the
first it costs a tenner.
Enquiries through the DLOC proceed.
