Does anyone have an upclose picture of the type of vinyl used on Cooper S'S.

Apparently it has a pimply grain ?

Sorry no I don't. But I know it's not a common vinyl these days.
When my mate Steve restored his S last year, the only place he could find the right pattern stuff was at Mini King.
And it was green, not black. He had to get it dyed.

I have some photos of my original UK built Cooper S dash vinyl, if that is any help but someone will have to post them for me 'cause I'm bloody useless.

Actually on the Aussie Cars isn't it the same vinyl as the other upholstery. The seats wear smooth so you need to compare with a non wearing portion.

Heres my dash with a bit of vinyl from my old dash cards.

Don't worry they do get grubby, but I work at a hospital so I have to scrub them clean.
