Morris Minor Owners Club

I am coming to the completion of my two door 59 restoration I am after some red carpet material to cover the back shelf does anyone know were I could purchase a small strip from

I was advised to ask a carpet shop for a cut off

A remnant from a carpet shop is a good call . Cut it to size and then get the edges bound .

A 1959 car would have had nothing at all originally. From about 1964 a covered hardboard panel was fitted. I assume that our friend just fancies a bit of carpet?

That was my thinking too.... I've restored the missing press stud strap to my '55, when I got basil his rear seat was just screwed in from the boot, with the stud post doing nothing.

Don't do it! Just something else to vacuum!

Yes quite true originally it was just the painted metal finish but I thought it would be nice to fit in a board and carpet it . It could always be taken out to keep it original if in future i wanted too . I have now sourced some carpet. Thanks for your comments
