Interior taking shape

[X19 Lido]

Since having the car resprayed orange from green John the Trim Technician from Blackpool is now on with my interior. The seats are from a T350 the dash has been carbon dipped as has the gauge surrounds, window switches and heater switches surround. I didn't have the start switch pod surround dipped as I wanted that to match the indicators gear stick and handbrake.I have gone for black/orange leather the seats mostly black with orange stitching and black quilted alcantara roof. He has remedied a lot of faulty wiring issues and the seats will be heated with the switches where the ashtray was. I am keeping the carbon door panels but not the carbon instrument binnacle rear shelf and pod.

The quilted orange parts on the central tunnel are not fixed yet they are just for the pics. I know the orange is not to everyone's taste as is the quilting but it def will look better than the original! Early days yet and while it is in there I am having some of the suspension sand blasted and restored.

Thanks for the comments I got the seats from Douglas Valley they were on Ebay at around £900 if I remember correctly so I phoned them up and offered £650 and they accepted, I don't know if that's is dear or not as I hardly see any for sale. Recently someone sold a pair of Cerbera seats on there for £350 so if I get the same they stand me at around £300 which I am happy with. I had my Jensen quilted by Kath and John so I wanted the same in the Cerbera even though it's more in keeping with the older Jensen, I like it so I suppose that is the main thing.

I am not sure where John got the trim carbon dipped I will find out plus the price. The Pantera he is working on belongs to a customer of Track V Road's the engine and rear tyres on only 16" rims are something else!
