Does anyone know where the best place is to buy cream vinyl for re-upholster? And if so, approx how much would be needed for front & rear seats, door cards, dash card and other small trims for 67 model. Thanks in advance |

I am not sure what colour you mean by "cream" colour. I have found a source similar to the "Parchment" colour used in the 1969-70 period (as for my 1969 mini K). There are other models using a light coloured upholstery that are not really close when compared. Many are too white or too yellow-cream. I can give you some leads if it is the 1969 "Parchment". |

I'd love some leads Bill. Perfect for my Indigo Blue deluxe I reckon. |

I bought a colour called " Copra", standard grain pattern, in a range called "Pacifica" from Home Upholsterer in Sydney. www.homeupholsterer.com.au The colour seems to be still available. Might be worth asking for some samples of similar shades as photos and computer screens aren't accurate. They have been very helpful. I have also bought seat webbing and foam from them. |

My car is a rebodied 67 Cooper S with a morris mini k (69) body. I have been told the colour is Mist Green (tried uploading photo) but won't upload. Sounds like Parchment is what I am after. Currently has the mini k interior which is blue. Would the Mist Green car have had a "parchment interior"? Thanks "Bill B" would really appreciate contact details for your source. |

Also take a look at Daleys AMU out at Parramatta. They're like Kmart for upholstery. |

Thanks "Bill B" would really appreciate contact details for your source. The information I have may not be exactly correct: that is my "disclaimer". But I'm happy to help you as best I can. My 1969 Mini K (bought new) is "Willow Green". The upholstery colour is called "Parchment" in factory documents. Before " Willow Green" the factory used a colour called "Seamist Green" which is to all intents and purposes exactly the same as "Willow Green". There are very slight formula variations that would not be noticed on a complete car respray. "Mist Green" also seems to be listed for late 1960s cars, also with Parchment upholstery. For a colour comparison have a look at this link, especially the final photo posts to see what the colour might look like. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=82297 The closest match to "Parchment" I have been able to find is from "Home Upholsterer" https://www.homeupholsterer.com.au The colour is called "Copra", standard grain, in a range called "Pacifica". Read some other posts on this thread to see how you can find if this suits your needs. I have dealt with Daley's often and they are very good, but unless you actually turn up at their store to see if their stock matches what you need, it isn't easy for 'outsiders'. as they mostly supply the trade. Home Upholsterers seem to be more 'amateur-friendly'. |

Thanks Bill and everyone else for the info. Any thoughts on how much I might need to do full interior? |
