Thanks, Curt. The Series V I owned back in the 70s was green with black
interior and top, so I thought that all interiors might have been black.
I will have to think on this. It may depend in part on whether I can
salvage the (black) upholstery across the back of the cockpit; if it will
clean up I might save enough by keeping it so that continuing the black
interior is the only economic choice. I will probably have to get
sheepskin covers for comfort. I can sure remember frying my legs several
times on the old alpine.
