Dear sir, many thanks for your prompt reply. Your site is very very precious for al Minor owner and Minor friends. Here atthached I am some pics of headlining of my Morris Minor saloon 4 door 1957 chassis n° 489507. Please, if you can give me ESM correct spare part number. In the end I noted that on my car leather green central parts of seats is darker than vynil lateral one: is this correct?

Many, many thanks again Max

Hi Max,
Right, that is definately an early 1000 with the large rear window. Now, from your photos, it looks to me like you have a four hoop headlining. So, if you do have the four hoops, then ESM show 'Headlining-Saloon 1956/57 Large Rear Window 4-Hoops (CREAM/BEIGE)
Part No: TRM122A' But not in stock at present. However, it is only in cream/beige and I think grey might match your original better (but probably not exactly). Bull Motif do show the 4-hoop/large rear window type in both cream/beige and grey. HOWEVER, they say these are for split-screen saloons with the large rear window. As far as I know, NO split-screen had a large rear window, so this is a bit confusing! :(

Given this confusion, I would, if you can, phone these companies to speak to them to be sure. Or maybe someone else here with more knowledge will post later to clarify. In the meantime, here are the links:
