From memory the seats used in older W&P minis were sourced from an early 911, very nice.
Quote:
In the mid 1960’s, two coach building companies emerged, creating uprated Minis – Radford produced the Coupe De Vile and Wood and Pickett the Margrave. These cars were more or less bespoke products and buyers could chose from a long list of options. Highly prized then and today they were often ordered by celebrities – Elton John and Twiggy were both customers of W&P.

The company is still trading today.
Cheers Rob.

You can get replica dashboards from the uk for them, they're a cool car but I think it's meant to have wood and picket flares on it.. Other then that looks legit.

I'd have one, pretty well equipped

I think they got a bit excited with that switch panel but.
I haven't worked out what they're all for yet. :lol:
