You could try contacting Cabanon in France to see if they will make one up for you (will be very expensive though, if at all possible!) otherwise your best bet is to look on ebay. You could be looking for some time though as this model was discontinued in or around 2007 I think so they are rare as hen's teeth.

The Biscaya vis a vis has a pretty good door porch/canopy anyway, and the zip-on sun canopy - whilst fine on the 320 which is a small tent designed for up to 4 people - doesn't provide a huge undercover space for the 8-berth vis a vis!

Yep, either direct contact with Cabanon in Dunkerque or via your local camping shop, should get you sorted.
I would imagine the price is going to be North of £250!
Another solution would be to speak to TVS at Bolton, they may be able to knock one up for you, just a case of sourceing the Hoop and matching the zip.
The Hoop would not have to be the exact same profile, so you may be able to find that yourself, and just get TVS or someone like to do the canvas bit with a zip fitted.
Good luck and let us know how you get on, I really like the 320 and almost got one myself for UK camping.
I got to see the Vis-a-Vis on display at Catterick caravans when I bought my Cotton 370 back in 2008, I was beside myself as to which one to buy, the 370 was £699 and the Vis-a-Vis was £899 and I still kick myself for not buying both at the time!

Those prices will have seemed a lot in 2008, Francais, but now seem like peanuts for tents of that quality!

Yep I still have the Cabanon RRP list from 2008.
Biscaya 370 Cotton £1040 (optional sun-canopy £102)
Biscaya Vis-a-Vis. £1520 (optional sun-canopy £97)
Off course back then, no one ever paid the full RRP, and even then the optional sun-canopy would be thrown in for free.
It was a time when Cabanon had once again gone into administration or whatever the French call it, and dealers were dumping of stock, the prices I quoted from Catterick caravans were about the same all over the country if you could find the stock.
In fact when I went to collect my 370 the display models had been further reduced and sold, the ex-display Vis-a-Vis went for £769. The display was indoors, so the display models were in tip top condition.
Interesting now though almost 8 years on, that the equivalent to my Tent the Awaya 370 is shown on Cabanon's website at just over £2000 when you include the sun-canopy.
I think all those that bought new when I did, got a pretty good deal.

Would James at Camping Travel Store should be able to get hold of one.

You have to laugh when they are asking £250 for the Sun-Canopy, but only want £850 for the Tent c/w Sun-Canopy all used of course.
Amazing really, when they probably only paid £650 for the whole lot around 8 years ago.
Good luck to them selling both, but I can't help thinking that they are being a little greedy.
