So far as MkI (AC) Pearls are concerned the later ones (MkI bodies on MkII chassis) such as that in Rinsey Mills have a very dark brown perhaps wood-effect finish but I don't know for sure about earlier ones. Mine (June 36 body no 1486) has holes for a removable dash. Does yours, Ruairidh, which I think is March 36 (AC1318)? I bought a removable dash off eBay last year and this was a very well-worn brown but with no trace of any wood-effect. Like so much about the Austin Seven who can be certain how cars left the factory one week and differently the next.
