Cloth trim P5

[tonys]

There is a thread on the 'classicroverforum.com' about this P5

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-3-LITRE-BLUE-SILVER-1966-Amazing-36-000-miles-new-MOT-/221104378462?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D1396775201563269777%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26

What are the thoughts on here? Could it be cloth, and was cloth ever available on a P5 from the factory?

I am aware that some P5Bs were trimmed in cloth, but what about P5s??

I don't know of a P5b trimmed in cloth on the Seats etc from the factory the Mk3 as far as I know was the same Vinyl and Leather I don't mind being corrected though!

That photo looks like a dirty interior giving the appearance of a cloth trim.


I remember writing an article in Take Five called "Pimp my ride" where a gentleman had his interior done in velour as he didn't like getting into a hot car with leather. I will try and dig it out.
I don't think they have come of the production line as a special order. That option was not available.
