It's strange. It looks identical to my (knackered) factory item. The vinyl is as thick and the sides don't have that "pinched in" look that cheap copies do. Yet it has none of the labels. Perhaps the company who made these for Rover knocked a few out this way? It has none of the labelling and according to Google, "Kumficar" seems to be a UK brand for accessories of the period....

Strange. I'm happy with it though.

That is standard practice in China. I know a bloke who imports horsey tack to South Africa and it is really good quality stuff. He went to the factory in China to see what they were all about, and the stuff is made on the same line as a well known line and they just sew a different label on.
