One for the purist. My new '68

[NickVyse]

The carpet is original and is different from my other 02's. It is not square weave so i guess it must be mouse hair?

The interior is Black though. The carpet is dark grey.

Same carpet in my '67 1600-2 - rubbish quality compared to the later salt and pepper stuff, but hey, it's still there are 40 years. Love your original plates too. Have you got the bonnet trim?

Yes, going to be working on sealing it up from the sea air soon.

The carpet is in really good nick. Although i would like to get new underfelt to help it out a little.

Portslade? nice one. Does that mean they would have come in at Shoreham Harbour there.

I do have the bonnet trim. It in the trunk and its a little bent. It is embossed with little strips of black metal in the embossed sections. I am going to try and restore it with some carefully bending and tweaking. I would hate to have to find a replacement.

don't know if they came in at Shoreham or not - but it's the same place in Portslade that has the BMW dealership today. I have a feeling they knocked down the original building a few years ago - it was still there when I lived in Brighton.

Talking of one for the purist - personally I'd keep her totally stock and the save the twin side-drafts for another.
