74 Eldo top

Can anyone tell me if I can get a white stayfast (or alternative) convertible top for my 74 Eldo, or must I stay with vinyl? The car is white with red upholsdtery, and on original top with 28,000 miles. My son has broken the original glass window, and as the top is getting a bit ragged after all these years, will replace the lot.
Any advice and suggestions appreciated, I live in Australia so it is not so easy to access info or recommendations.
Thanks in anticipation, Jeff

G'day Jeff,

Mine has a totally different material, like that used on Mercedes' and BMW's.

There are many different materials available, and colours.   Chose the best, and it will last a whole lot longer than the vinyl ones.

Thanks Bruce, appreciate all your help. The suggested suppliers only list white in vinyl, trying to find white in a better quality material,
