I'd be very disappointed with myself if I'd fitted new rear pads and calipers and the handbrake came up that far....
 
I've never seen a Mango cloth interior before - they're usually leather or vinyl. It's got the tell tale bungs in the D post to suggest a good waxoiling. :D

If it is really as good as it looks, that strikes me as a fair price.

I worked on a Mexico 3500S with a mango cloth interior back in the day and I thought it was a very nice combination. The car was a real minter and any marks on the interior would have been spotted immediately. So the initial flatspot was cured without ever going inside the car, and when it came back and I did the gearbox, once the gearknob and sleeve were removed, I didn't go inside again until it had to go back.
 
A very nice-looking car, but it's been for sale for a very long time indeed. Probably over a year! The other thing is, that in the other photos, and until recently, it appeared to have a black cloth boxpleat cloth interior, which, in my opinion would be preferable in the avocado car. Mango cloth looks very interesting though!
 
Avacado/Mango combo? Mummy says "if you cannot find anything nice to say, say nothing"


So I'm saying nowt.

That's a first :D


I had a mango cloth in my "s" and so did Brian Barkers. A stunning colour for the interior of a p6 me thinks
 
I will grudgingly admit a white car suits mango, preferably stripes down the side, with maybe reflective blue graphics? :LOL:

I have never seen a mango cloth interior on a local Rover. In fact the only cloth interior that I can recall seeing was in what I would describe as being silvery blue. The Rover was bright red and the combo looked really nice.

Was cloth not a popular option in Australia? :idea: I was just thinking that cloth might have been more popular than leather in a hotter climate??
Though it never gets very hot here, I still remember burning my legs when I was small boy, wearing shorts on hot summer days when most cars still had leather or vinyl seats :D .

Hi Steve,

I remember that some of the SD1 models that I have seen locally have cloth seats, whilst others were in leather. In the case of the P6, all those officially imported by Leyland Australia that arrived via New Zealand came with ambla seats except for some of the 1976 model cars which did have cloth seats. If a potential owner desired leather seating, then that had to be especially ordered. Series 1 models in both 2000 and 3500 that came direct came with leather seating along with all the 3500S which also came direct.

Mine's a NZ built car and has cloth as it's a '76 build (officially.... could have been built after then going by the shennanigans BL pulled to get around compliance laws coming into effect in '76.)

My Mazdas have vinyl seats, one's a 74 and another is a 76. Both are arse meltingly hot on a day over 25 degrees...


The original posted car looks awesome!
