For my two pennyworth my MK1 March 1935 Ruby has the double facia dash and I didn’t realise that’s how it came from the factory until I read this thread.
.When I got the car both the tops of the door panels and the dash had a wood effect finish that was peeling off. At the time I thought it had been put on by a previous owner as it had the appearance of old sticky back plastic that with age had split and was peeling off beyond repair. After reading this thread I realise it could have been the original finish or a 1950s way of trying to make it look original. I will never know which. It was beyond repair so it had to come off.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.
