I bought one on eBay last week off a chap in East Manchester. It was £230 but is really good quality (it compares favourably with early LR tilts I have on my early LRs). He makes stuff and sells it on eBay, watch out for his next tonneau - you wont regret spending the extra. JC

Undercover Covers are pretty good. The guy once said to me that their company used to supply tilts to BMC so they are as correct as anything will be. They're probably better known for Land Rover tilts these days.
The tonneau covers they do are very nice and fit well too and of the same style and standard. I think you get the choice if you want the bulge for the spare wheel mounted in the usual palce onthe back of the cab, or just a flat tonneau with wheel elsewhere.

I've had Undercover Covers canvas on a Willys Jeep and on Land Rovers. No complaints at all.
