Thank you Scott
I am more used to driving with side mounted mirrors so I will probably go with what I have got. Will also keep looking for a suitable central mounting one.
I do have two or three pieces of the original carpet from across below the rear seat cushion etc.so I will do some asking around.
I have also included photographs of the (Domestic) Persian or Turkish Carpet on the rear seat foot rest. The slightly exotic feel of this type of design appeals to me as a contrast to the almost "spartan" feel of the rest of the car. Only time and opportunity will tell. A long long time ago I was trained and worked as a Furniture Designer and Interior Decorator/Designer. With everything else either Black Leather Black Linoleum or Black Paint combined with the Dark Blue of the body colour, I feel it needs some type of relief, even if only for the rear seat passengers.

I have just had a visit from my "Star" Motor Trimmer friend Tony MCConnell. He tells me that my reclaimed "Chinese" leather will be OK fro the door trims but thinks that proper new leather will be better for the seat cushions. He also tells me that the "square weave" carpet is still available, (from Germany) so that is what it will be, exactly as original! The seats are now booked in for early in the new year. (2018) I will do the door trims etc, but he can replace the "clear" in the side screens.
The previous owner has finally responded to my e-mails and phone messages to tell me he will have the hood (top) delivered sometime in the next two weeks. Fingers crossed!
Yes I agree with Tinindian,
You wood think that it is plain enough to make you want to run away and hide in the forest.
Woodn't it make a person sick-a-more.
Oh deer!
My key is Number 39. Unfortunately the tranmission lock was smashed a very long time ago. The key I have I bought from eBay recently. Fortunately I can change gears without the lock.
Apparently these early keys are considered to be "collectable". I paid $9.90 for this one, unfortunately the postage was considerably more.
