door card request

[daveh]

this could look a bit of a strange request. does anyone have any
pictures of p5 saloon car door cards,that can be posted,i cant
photograph mine as i dont own a camera or a mobile phone. i have found
a guy who makes leather door card covers for the coupe car models p5 and p5b
he says if i can send him pic's of the front and rear door cards he will
see if he can get them sorted, he never asked for measurements but
i will send them as well. my door cards look ok to glue the new skin on
and i thought it would compliment the seats that are in need of stitching
n a couple seams and a re-color when i find a upholsterer locally to get them to
 

[daveh]

thank you, i not sure but would have thought the body shell and doors
are the same for saloon and coupe models. so if both p5 and p5b salon cars
are the same i would be grate full if you will post your images then i can send
to the seller in the hope he can get them, he was asking £59 a pair

BEWARE

I can't find photos of your car at the moment, but I seem to recall that your car, if I'm thinking of the correct one ( a 2-tone green early saloon?) has the earlier pattern / style on the door card internal finish / appearance, with a contrasting charcoal insert. I think the style changed with the Mark 1A , or the last of the Mark 1s. Later cars had a 'plainer' single tone finish.

Also, the treatment of the wood trim and padding is different, IIRC, on the early cars. Wood treatment on door tops is different on saloons and coupes, the latter have more wood, coming further down the door from the base of the windows.

I'm only flagging this up as I'm not sure if you're talking about the actual backing card, or the interior trim finish on the door card and don't know whether originality is an important issue.

Of course, I might be thinking of the wrong car, in which case just ignore!

i don't know if they are exactly the same but they look
very much like the card shape on my rear doors, so i will
take a more detailed look tomorrow.

**********************************************
tonys you are correct my p5 is a early mk1a model and the front door cards
have pockets that pull out on straps to put items in, the card is also coloured
green and black with the bottom covered in what i can only describe as the same as the
car carpets, i dont want any modification other than if possible to get rid of the storage pockets
and cover the card with a new skin to compliment the new carpets i had made and generally tidy
the doors up. i will take your advice and double check before buying the door card covers

this is a link i got for the car pictures before i viewed it

All Coupe door cards are totally different to all the saloons and the doors are different too even as to the window winder position. Also Mk1 saloons like yours are unique.

Mk2 saloons and all the Coupes stayed the same till the end of P5B production and looked very similar

Here are photos of my 1961 MkI doors if that helps.
Am I right in assuming they will fit any Mk of saloon ?
