The product most similar to the prewar rexine used by Austin is called Arbetex available from J Hewitt and sons. Sadly at present it is only made in thin grades which are perfect for door trims and on the rear of seats, the graining and weight is almost identical to original samples in my collection. However although it would look right it is not really heavy enough for use on the front of the seats and squabs where Rexine was used in Chummys etc. I know Ruairidh has been experimenting with it's waterproof qualities and durability on a luggage trunk with a view to then using it to cover fabric body's, any feedback to date Rory?
