Hold on a minute?
Ian,
Is this the off-white diamond embossed vinyl cloth/fabric type with metal stretcher bars you are talking about or the semi-rigid plastic one piece thing that went in GTLs (which I'm not interested in)? Its actually the cloth type I'm after and I dont need the bars, just the fabric, so it can be folded up into a bundle if its this type. Ideally I'm looking for new fabric ("tissu de pavillon") so I can make a new one. Are there any motor trimmers' suppliers in France who keep it? I've seen lots of adverts for earlier 4CV type fabrics but none for the R4 fabric. I think some other mid sixties french cars might have used it as well.
The price and payment arrangement sound good to me if we can sort out what you've got. And I'd be prepared to pay whatever it was if you have a source for new stuff.
My Dad was South African, its a throwback to him. I'm actually a pom originally, but I've gone native in the most disgraceful way since an early age. No rain here right now, most disappointing winter, quite a bad drought!
Cheers
