Yes, quite correct sir.
It has the half leather seats with the 1959-1989 labels. Also the steering wheel boss has the same thing.

But Interior not the greatest as it had been neglected somewhat... (Not by me I might add).



Strangely thought it has the Rover Mini Rear Mats...lol.



Even has a Rover Tax Disc Holder...lol.

The wheels are correct for the car and quite rare now, they were also fitted to the RSP cooper. They differ to normal cooper wheels in that if you look at the wheel nut locations they are in line with the spokes, later alloys aren't

Default you win some you lose some

I failed to successfully get my retrofit cruise control to work....

...but...

I did manage to smarten up my front armrest.

The original stitching was frayed and untidy. Stripped off the leather, unpicked it and fired it through my mothers sewing machine a couple of times.

Not quite up to long bridge standards but it'll do

Many thanks to Sworks, Versus, BL52krz and Clf for all the nice comments and advice.

Will certainly be ordering the Decals on Monday when funds allow...

Will let you see when they are fitted.
