Hopefully these photos will better show what I am trying to replicate... The darker brown portion has more 'texture' than the other part and appears to have been 'stiched' (?) Is this the way 'moquette' is made?
Thanks Jon - our postings crossed.. One would hope that something generic that would suit exists, but I have been looking on and off for 25 years and haven't found it yet! The trimming company look a possibilty and I'll follow up with the Swallow Register as you suggest. I wasn't aware they had commissoned anything. I have one or two other leads that I'm following. As I say, I am considering commissioning some, but I would need to order quite a bit to make it viable. The Box saloon will need something like 5m but I bet I would need to order 200m (or something like that) as a minimum so I'd be looking for others who might be interested in coming in on any order...
As an addition, can we try and work out over what period this particular style was used? My car is April 1933 Was it just an RP application? Was it used in the RN? Was it used in the Ruby? Can anyone chime in on what their (original) trim might show? It would be helpful to understand how many cars might have had this style fitted...
