that one looks good

 absolutely bog standard....

The mirrors are not and the material of the (retrimmed?) seats is not and the wooden (?) handbrake handle is not and the rear number plate mount is missing so not very 'bog standard' me thinks    But it does look good

Theo,those are very small things to be put right .Eugene

Fitting original mirrors will involve welding up holes and re-painting will it not?

[eugene]

Yes Dave you are correct,but it is very straight forward work.Eugene

I wouldn't change it as it looks very nice but if you wanted to get the interior back to standard it won't be easy. Plus I wasn't saying it's difficult work; I simply said it wasn't "bog standard". The mirrors are mismatched by the way with the driver's side mirror being from a 'normal' mirafiori while the passenger side mirror is off an Alfa. Things like that plus the faded Fiat badge on the grille and the peeling headlamp reflectors make me think the car was unloved.

I forgot that you might be reading this Mr Picky...!  

And I'm not sure I agree with you about the upholstery being non-standard - I would like to see it in person first.

And another thing, I'm not sure that number plate surrounds were standard in all markets or possibly cars - None came with my Father's car new in 1979!!

Would bog standard not mean that it has not been modified where as factory spec would cover any modifications at all..

Theo it would be very difficult or near impossible to get the seats retrimmed in the proper velour, i have been searching a long time now & nothing, so i got my seats tidied up, so has anyone any clues as to where the correct pippin red or black fabric can be bought?
