Now VL 4193

[Dave Wortley]

My late father’s car RN1971 which he bought in 1936 had rubber mats and the strange khaki trans tunnel/inside sill covers. When I took over the car in 1964 I ripped out the mats etc, chucked them in the bin and replaced with carpet. I also removed the leather door card covering and rear panels and replaced with shiny black plastic but fortunately I kept the originals. I still use the car which has been reupholstered in Connolly hide in blue as it was originally. The door covering is the leather without carpet at the bottom and the oval pleated door pocket.

I forgot to mention, talking of box saloons with original upholstery, I have a friend who has an RP with an almost completely original interior.
Cheers,
Dave.
