Anton,
My GT is painted Black below the sill join as inthe picture. The inside windscreen pillars above the dash top are also painted a flat/satin black over the body colour. I think it was only the GT that had the black below the sill. Not sure about the windscreen pillars.

Regards
RonR

Thanx Ron. It might have been a GT thing to have black under the sill seam.

Anton,
There are at least 2 maybe 3 different colours all called Silver Birch.
The first dates back to 64/65 and is colour No 06968.


I checked the tin of Silver Birch that I have, and it was this mix.

I picked up 6 GT rims last night. One has no tyre fitted. The inside of the rim, that is usually covered by a tyre, appears to be the correct colour and in good condition. It would be good to get a paint match from this (and compare it to the 3 colours that BMC/Leyland painted wheels).

Anton, Leila was a 74 clubby with kidskin colour interior (well there abouts)
and she still had the old skool orignail seatbelts (just same as GTones) and
they were brown. SOi would say that brown would be corrct with kidskin :wink:

Oh mate. I am so slack with this article stuff too! I have promised to get it to
BC and yaself but i just keep not doin it! maybe i burn you a copy of the CD i did
for him and bring it ova one day and see reg!

Steering wheels....

Which is right for a GT?

OR

Both seem to take the same centre piece, but one has more of an angle on the spokes than the other. Is this just the angle of the pic, or were there 2 types? I am pretty sure my Mini K had the latter type (if there IS 2)

Anton,

The original wheel came with my green GT. It is the angled type.
