I live in Nanaimo and am ordering a top and seat covers from Prestige in the USA... They will be delivered to my postal box in Bellingham. The top has a zip out window and sells for $179.95 US.. I have checked and the quality of their products is very good. Leather seat covers for $299.95, vinyal for $169.95. I spend a week each year in Washington so there will be no duty to pay..

Been through Nanaimo many times on my way to Savary Island. Beautiful country. The road from Nanaimo to Victoria is a good MG drive.

Lindsay Porters book is a good source for installing a top and general repair. https://www.mgbexperience.com/howto/softtop.html

When you come to the island get a good map book. Try www.mapart.com. There are lots of great drives on twisty, paved country back roads. I go to Victoria on the back roads from Nanaimo/ Cassidy to Ladysmith. Then Ladysmith/ Chemainus / Maple Bay / Cowichan Bay / Cobble Hill/Shawnigan Lake, then # 1 hwy. at the Malahat. Nanaimo to Port Alberni is a faster but good drive. Nanaimo to Good River on hwy 19A is one of my favorite drives.
Enjoy your visit.

That beats the Robbins price. I'd like to hear how happy you were with it after it is installed.
