MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - Navy Blue Ragtop

I want to order an interior trim kit in Navy Blue. I'd also like to have a Navy Blue ragtop for my car. I've seen a couple of suppliers advertising trim kits in Navy but no ragtops in Navy so far.
Does anyone know of a supplier who'll supply an MGB ragtop in Navy as a regular item in their product line please?

I recently purchased a Navy hood from Prestige in the UK. It is a good quality fit and looks superb on my silver B! Check out the URL below.

Anthony,
You should go for the Prestige Hoods mohair version,its expensive and it looks that way when its on the car.I have a black one (mohair) on my nightfire red V8,and a friend has the blue hood on his yellow car.Well worth the extra money.By the way I also own the black car with the red RV8 cabriolet hood featured on their website.Cheers Kevin.

Anthony-
Like Ian and Kevin, I also put a mohair top from Prestige on my car. As Kevin said, it's expensive and it looks it. True quality is never cheap, and I've never had a moment's regret about my choice. The fit is so perfect that I've had people ask me if it was custom made for my particular car.

Thanks for the tip on Prestige Auto Trim guys, that's just the kind of look I'd like to get for my car when it's completed.
Nice looking car Kevin, do you have a pic of yours Ian?
Cheers, AJM

Ian,
my e-mail is down for a day or so, thanks to Shaw Cable so I'll have to wait patiently before I contact you off-line.
BTW, I'm planning to paint my car in a VW colour, I think it's called "White Silver" (or "Silver White"?) with a bit of Navy detailing here and there.
Thanks for the offer,
Anthony.
