Yes, Sandun. 1957 cars were fitted with two glovebox lids, the driver's side one will only open part way because of the steering column is in the way.....

I think what you are after are the inserts

There are several available and I think all will fit the 1957 but the correct one is the second No 12 on the CW catalogue . All the major suppliers do them and some hardy souls have refurbished and re-covered them successfully with a plush fabulon type material, saving considerable cash. Others have actually made their own.

They are available on e-bay but second hand ones in decent condition are rare they all suffered from water damage and are not the most robust things.

Ooh, yes - sorry, I didn't read your original post correctly, Sandun
My glovebox liners are stained, I wonder if they could be painted?

have a look at this post where Mark covered the interiors with flock fabulon. Very good look at a fraction of the cost of new innards

Thanks Jon. They look immaculate, maybe even too good for my old car! I like the idea from woodiesenfrance of sloshing Dulux (presumably matt) emulsion around in them, though. Tricky picking the correct shade of colour, perhaps.............

I purchased ESM ones. Really good quality and excellent fit.

Are the ESM ones not simply of Newton Commercial manufacture? Hard to imagine there are 2 different sources?
