Yep you can buy new Vinyl,... Finding new vInyl roofs off the shelf is nigh on Impossible for minis these days.

I was lucky enough to have a friend who gave me mine still in it's rover parts bag :D

You might have to go looking for car upholstery places and getting them to make you one.
Is it a 3 pieces Roof?... if the rust is at the sides you could get new sides stitched in rather than replace the large centre section too..

any chance of some pics?

It is a one piece with a webasco sunroof if that helps

I've heard good things said about these, don't know if they can help you out with a vinyl roof though: -
