MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Midget factory hardtop info needed

I have just purchased a very used Factory Works Hardtop for my midget. Are the window and top to body seals available? If they are, where do I purchase from? What is the proper color of the top? I have seen some pictures where it looks like gloss black, others that look somewhat like a low lustre black but not flat or satin. This top when restored will go
on my '75 Midget. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Larry, I'm sure that Gloss Black was the colour that most were supplied in but in time, the originlas have taken on a duller patina, ours certainly has....

As we are now in a warmer climate, we will use the hard to for shade rather than rain and cold protection, with that in mind, ours will be repainted in Old English White (to reflect the heat) and a Mini Van roof vent fitted.
