Yes it is called "Candy Stripe".
I have a set of MG set covers in that colour.

i remember this on ebay last year!! would love to see this once its completed, and i'm sure i speak for many people on here when i say that

Yeah mine is the orange and brown stripe not brown and brown, but the fabric was originally from an MG as mentioned earlier. Yeah I had read that they were only for the uk market, so thats pretty special seeing as it looks like there could only be about 3 in the world! The project is going quite well so far and its starting to take shape now, although i've just found out the hard way that the engine is actually seized!! so thats delayed things. I was told when I bought it that it had been running not too long ago and would run, but clearly that was a lie! I will get some pictures up on here once its done as people seem to be interested.

'engine ran fine before being stored'
'engine turns over'


etc etc ..............
