looking to buy a new headliner and just wanting to make sure about the colour. I know the english cars had the cream crackle in 65 but did the australian minis have the same? or just the grey? |

Looks like you are looking to buy from the UK. I tried that through Mini Sport, but the "C" panels where completely different and if you can't match the material here your "C"panels will be different. Sent mine back for a credit. It took 3 months by sea. |

There was a disscussion about the headlining starting here. http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=60086&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=lining&start=60 I think at some stage an aussie made vinyl replaced the cream crackle but it continued to be a cream colour but more of a "grain" pattern. In fact the sunvisors continued in the crackle pattern at least until late 68 as that is what my car has, likely they just kept importing them complete from the UK. |

Cheers, that thread cleared up a few things. I had a tear in the lining and i had a poke inside and found the cream crackle lining underneath. I then had a quick search and only found info on british made minis that the crackle was up till 68(i think from memory). Then i looked at newton's and found they made the australian headliner. I'll keep the post boards i got in the car just incase.. |
