The Cooper has now arrived safely in Ireland and I want to do a few jobs to it to make it 'right'. It doesn't currently have any boot board fitted and I'm not sure what the original one would look like - would it be an early English supplied carpeted one or Australian vinyl type and would the colour of the board be specific to the colour of the car?

If someone would post a picture of an original board that would be great.

Thanks

997 Cooper in my garage:



The rest of my Minis:



(Not sure why pictures are loading upside down?) Now fixed by mod

Some pics on my Coopers (now sold). Still have a Dusk Blue/Nurburg White Cooper. Note the way the stitching is done around the edges. Osmond green Cooper original, English Grey/Cherry Red a !962 resto.

Thanks for posting photos, I've sent them to Newton Commercial and I'm going to ask them to try to replicate as a one-off instead of their usual carpeted boot boards.

Do let us know how you go!

Thanks, I'll post some pictures of any progress (likely after Christmas), my plan at the moment is to remove the engine to tidy up and paint, fit new carpet and clean up the interior but probably leave the rest of the car as is.
