So far, no luck on that score, but we keep on trying.

When you are able to-if you can get a macro photo of the stitching and vinyl grain, and photos of the back of the door cards and how the finish is attached to the back of the cards-it will be relatively easy to tell if they are original or not.

Hi Raj,

Unfortunately Im sitting in an office in Turkey working until the 7th December, I cant provide the info required until then,
Im looking forward to having a look myself as I have a good feeling with the door cards... I must say if they are recovered
then I'd like the guys telephone number because they are pretty nice....

Will let you know as soon as I can and thanks for your help...Lee

Hi Raj,

I've managed to get my wife to take some close up pictures of the stitching and leather grain, the flash has made the stitching
stand out so I'm hoping you will be able to comment, I cannot get any pictures of the rear of the door card until I return.....

Let me know your thoughts......Lee

Hello,

Is there anybody out there who has experience with factory originality and advise if the #9922 special interior door card look the correct Grain & Stitching,

thanks in advance...Lee

Hello Guys...

further to our recent chat Ive provided further photos of the back of the door card, as you can see the material is stapled around the edge,
some of the card clips are missing but the card seems to be in quite good condition, the colour has deteriated and looks a little blue, you can
see the orginal colour (light brown) around the edge of the card...

let me know what ya think.....

Thank you....apart from that does the card look similar to a factory door card, has anybody got a picture of a confirmed original card to compare....

Thanks for your help.

VIN's of cars with 99xx codes. Note that these are all very early cars, and I think that is significant.
119100008 9922
119100028 9921
119210114 9932 Black
119300047 9922 09/25/1968
129xxxxxx 9923 10/17/1968
129010126 9922 Beige

And here is 119300047...but does not have the aforementioned door trim - not to say that it may have at some time. http://2shores.com/cars/offers/1969-...upe/173/detail
