MG TD TF 1500 - Vinyl fabric choices

Being naturally cheap, I'm wondering what other solutions people have found for doing the interior vinyl. I have to replace a couple of sections at least, and might as well start thinking about doing most of it. (My interior is tan).
But Moss has it starting at $28/yard. I see it as low as $12/yard out on the internets.

Recommendations, anyone?

Make sure you look at Marine grade only. Other vinyl will mildew.

Check out the Correctness Police Thread below for a pic of unfaded original tan compared to the Moss version. See Jim B's first pic. Much cheaper to make your own & you get a better fitting, more original result. Segal Motor Trimmers in England can make the correct 1/2" hidem from your vinyl as it requires a machine with a double foot. Moss stuff is 5/8" & just looks wrong. Cheers

Peter, you didn't include the thread...

go to your local auto upholsterer and go through their marine vinyl sample books. There are a lot of tan tones and textures to choose from and may find something very close

Geoff. It's called "Another Point for the Correctness Police"

Peter, an archive search on "correctness police" both with and without caps only returns one thread entitled "Tire satisfaction"... I think the search function on this forum is screwy, I know I've seen that phrase 100s of times...

Geoff it's an active thread about halfway down this list.
