1800: - Unusual interior combination?

Ove E · Mar 20th, 2014, 12:42

I have a white (79) P1800 S from 1966 and as per the plate under the bonnet the interior code is 308-501. I understand from the P1800 register and also after speaking to VP auto parts in Sweden that this is a black interior with red carpet. (the car do not have the original interior)
Although I think red interior and red carpet looks stunning in a white car, I'm considering return it to the original black interior when I come so far with the restoration.

I haven't seen a white care with black interior and red carpet. Are there any one out there? I would very much appreciate a few pictures

BTW Does anyone know if it should be smooth or perforated vinyl for the headlining. I understand it varied year by year (mine is chase no 20178)

Many thanks!

I was scrolling down this page of Karl-Erik's and found the above. Interesting?

Quite a few cars listed there in Pearl White with your proper interior. Some pictures will click up to a larger size.

Karl Erik will be pleased to have details and pictures of your car if it isn't the blue one pictured.

Thanks, that was a great website. And Yes, that's my car in a former life. I will post new pictures of it after restoration
