Morris Minor Convertibles were popular cars with a certain greater popularity with vintage car enthusiasts. It had tight steering and handling along with cute styling and was designed by the original designer of Morris Minor, Alec Issigonis. Convertibles have a flexible design-folding roof
for driving in open mode.

They used a material called British Everflex Vinyl for the convertible top. Today although replacement Everflex vinyl can be procured, it might have to be imported and custom made for use. The Hartz Corporation produces more affordable American substitutes like Cabrio and crush grain vinyl. Cabrio Vinyl is pigskin-grained vinyl mainly used in VW Cabriolets, Miatus and Mercury capris.

Pinpoint Vinyl can also be used for a Morris Minor convertible as they offer varied hues like blue, maroon and shades of tan. Even today all the tops are made with a single plastic rear window very much like the original. Tops are available in canvas for the 1957-1969 Morris Minor 1000.
