Sorry Frank but the image posted is the only one I have showing the rear of my fathers car.
Since I intend to get a fabric cover made for the Fabric Saloon I am restoring I am also interested in finding out more details about the originals. It looks as if the piping is only fitted to the rear shoulder and the hole in the centre is just large enough to reveal the stainless steel wheel centre and that there is a small logo possibly reading Austin ! I suspect they are kept taught using a draw string, although it may also be possible to use a zip.
Quite a lot of current vehicles are fitted with fabric covers, perhaps there is an owner who uses this forum who may be able to provide photographs and fitting details ?
Modern SUV vehicles are often fitted with a fabric cover and it may be worth having a look at these.
No doubt there will now be several people on the lookout for a metal one, I have been looking for one for my Austin 10 Cabriolet for a long time !
