Your image disappeared before I got to see it, but I'm sure it's very nice. Welcome.


EDIT: Okay, there it is. Very nice!

Best I can guess: tan vinyl. It is not original to the car (Body Plate says A (Ebony Black) so when it's time to replace it - I'm going back with the original color in cloth.

The wheel discs were worn out so I replaced them with these Fiesta spinners recently. This winter I'll shed the hubcaps and powder the steel wheels to match the body. When the Hankook's wear out, it'll be time to go with 2.25" WW

The plate says the top was A (Ebony)? that would be a bit unusual for a high-end white car, in my opinion.

Also in my opinion, you cannot go wrong with a CLOTH top.

And I would agree with you on the top color if the body of the car was white; this car however is Cashmere Beige. I think a black cloth top would be striking and really make that saddle interior pop.
