Help on the Interior

Post by Ondergard »

If anyone happens to have any fairly detailed photographs of the interior of a concours condition, or near concours condition, two door saloon, would they mind posting them up here? I need a canon against which to judge what's standard, what's bodged, and what's just "tired" in my Morris's interior, so that I can renew/restore/redesign it.

I'm thinking about seats, parcel shelf, door cards, carpets, side panels at the back, headlining, glove compartment (open driver's side, hinged door on passenger side in my case) even those funny panels under the parcel shelf.

Thanks!

Those "funny panels" are called "Scuttle panels"! :D

Well I KNOW there's loads wrong! That's rather the point!

That's why I need pictures of an ideal Morris. In philosophical terms, it's a platonic thing.... when is a chair not a chair, that sort of thing.

Do wish I could help, Onder, but my own Minor's interior has been changed out, redone, upholstered, downholstered, in and out holstered, modified, tweaked, and all the other synonyms through its life...photos of mine won't help you. :(

We need someone in here with a 'concours' Minor...and someone with a high-resolution camera...or, better yet, find the 'concours' Minor and have the owner roll it around to your place, and compare side-by-side!
