Very strange period accessory on eBay

Post by The vast minority »

One stumbled upon these things on eBay, im guessing these go in place of the piping, might be of interest to the headlight peaks and badge bar brigade.

These are interior trim pieces for earlier 4 door saloons, not a replacement for the exterior wing piping.

It wasn't a period accessory. They are fitted to all 4 doors models. It is to keep the rear door seals in place around the wheel arch, as people getting in and out would pull them off.

Yes, I see that now and am suitably ashamed, especially as my own car has them!
