The cloth bit was the part of a TR7 that did not rust!

My brother had an Austin Princess with a full Webasto sunroof it was my first real taster to open top motoring, my first car was then an MG Midget, he then sold the princess for a Midget as wel

My first car was a 1970 1275 Midget mkIII.

Ah mine was the RWA model
