Warwick Hardtop Headlining Material

Anybody know anything about the Warwick Hardtop, the fixings and the headlining material?

I will need to find something similar to replace the original material, as you can see it is in a pretty poor state.

Here is what my top looks like. I have not had to do anything with the head liner. It is exactly the same as the day I picked it up at Donald Healey's dealership in Warwick.DSCF8449_edited.jpgDSCF8451_edited.jpgTop above front.jpg

Hi

Thank you for those images. I do not have the fixings so these pictures will be very useful, especially if I have to re-manufacture them.

Your head liner looks great, after looking at the pieces I have, it appears to be some kind of textured vinyl material.

Your car looks great by the way.

Does the headliner material cover what appears to be jute or burlap? If it does it is the same process as used by Lotus hard top's. The actual headliner material on an Elan hard top looks to be what you would purchase for lining shelves. Very thin vinyl.

Cars a bit rusty but very cool, Myers.

The headliner is effectively glued to what does appear to be burlap and does seem to be a bit like vertical blind material. It may take a while to find something the same.

Thanks.
