Original finish of boot interior

Post by Leyland »

:D
Hello everyone
I am restoring (to original spec as far as pos) a mid 1962 948cc series 3 two door saloon. I notice in Ray's bible regarding a paint job on a 1962 saloon that he mentions - when all the fittings are back in the boot, the exposed wheel arches were painted black.
Some restored cars seem to have a boot finish the same colour as the body, others have been painted out completely black.
Has anyone got any comments please? I know the wood floor should be matt black. If the exposed rear wings were painted black what about the other parts that can be seen? Has anyone got an original car of that period or any knowledge to help my search please?
cheers
Onne
