I have a number of questions regarding replacement trim for a 1966 TR4A. I hope
some
members of the list may be able to advise. I have studied Bill Piggots book and
find it a
little vague as what should be original on my particular car. I am striving for
total
originality.
Q1 Did the 1966 model TR4A originally have looped pile carpets like the TR4 or
cut pile
like the TR6? For a black interior trimmed car were the carpets also black or
dark grey?
Answer: Black
Q2 I am situated in UK any first hand recommendations for a supplier of
interior trim to
original spec.?
Answer: Rimmers?
Q3 TR Shop in London have just introduced a moulded centre console(dash to
floor support)
retrim kit which I understand is made in USA. Is this the one marketed by
Victoria
British? and if so has anyone fitted one?
Answer: Don't know - but it can't look any worse than the original which always
looked
crappy - and was. After one year in hot sun, the covering dried out and
cracked. If VB's
is to the same quality, it'll still look *original* - especially when it cracks
after five
or so years in UK heat.
