If you're not keeping it then I suppose you are going to sell it. Do you know what price range you will be looking at yet?

Hi Cal, the Mats are $280 each for front and back from Martin and Claire at Obsolete Rubber, they are in the Services list on this site. Great Mats. Boot mat for memory was $320.

Bus, it is original paint!

Wayne and I perfected a way to scape of old original paint into a jar, add it to a "special solution" and put it onto another car. That way it's still original paint :D

The only challenge was, that because it is a "Special Solution" we tried it on a Standard (Morning grey that we sold) and it came out like it has been put on by a trowel! :wink:
