My original Mini in 1966 (64 model) was porcelain green and inspite of what
the charts say it had green vinyl interior trim - parcel shelf, door cards etc. The seats were solid green edging and green fleck in the centre panels. I confirmed this last year when I saw exacly the same colour scheme in an original (as in very tied and sick looking) 850 parked on a driveway (all the books say it was grey but it was the same colour as the exterior (or roughly same shade) Was my car special or can anyone else confirm if the interior trim matched the body colour?

My 63 Project car is Shadow Blue and I'm trying to work out what colour to do the interior - the grey vinyl trim is available and it does sort of compiment the Shadow Blue but I was thinking pale blue and/or Navy - Any suggestions?

I had a 61-62 Morris 850 in Saxon Green, it was green trim too.
