trevor Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 A friend in the club has a TR3 with Cane weave fabric on the dash, and it needs replacing, has anyone sourced anything like this ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MilesA Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Rarer than hens teeth I believe but ready to stand corrected. The same material covers my original TR suitcase. In my experience it is pretty tough and will take some robust cleaning. Careful restoration may be the solution and has the benefit of retaining originality. I expect others would be interested in some pictures if possible. Miles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Trevor Try searching "Metric" and or "Wicker" trim. This will give you some idea as to its rarity and availability Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 You will seriously struggle to find any of it these days. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

iain Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Stuart that is a terrific photo......just look at the care taken to match the instrument panel weave to the dash. Both vertical and horizontal. Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trevor Posted August 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Thanks for your replies. It would be a shame to loose a rare look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tony_C Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Never seen, heard or knew about that...... However, I recall a story that Lord Black’s wife got involved with the ‘interior type design’ of a few of the early side-screen cars (wasn’t that where the magnolia etc colour schemes originated from) is this also her input? Is that an ‘original radio’?... If so, bet they were also rare as the proverbial rocking horse... Doesn’t look much for GBP 30:00 back in the day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
