Carpets were black but the door panels and dashboard etc were yellow.

Thanks for the update. I guess your car must have originally been yellow
over black as the Primrose yellow cars had black seats with yellow
piping, which are more common of course. I suspect some cars got
restored this way because the black seat covers are available whereas I
don't think anyone sells the yellow ones!
If I was restoring a car from scratch that's certainly a colour scheme
Id seriously consider.
Regards
Derek

I once owned a BN4 which had originally been primrose and maybe even
primrose over black. The shreds of the original interior were indeed
yellow
with black piping. the dash was also originally yellow. I agree the
combination must have been spectacular.
