......armrest.....

note: it is not as deep as most modern reproductions......

.....earlier cars did have a deeper armrest...it was changed sometime in  late 1957. Possibly coincided with the new six port head.

The deeper armrest can be seen at the bottom of the page
This is a photo of another unrestored BN4 but an earlier car than Ricks.

It also has a black interior.

2 points to note are:

 - These  seats show the correct seat pattern that should have been put in Rick`s car when his were recovered. The white piping continues round the ears and does not cut inside as on later cars

- This car has the deeper armrest that was on 100-Sixs when first intoduced in 1956. It was changed some time in 1957 to the shallow type as shown on Rick`s car.
     



.....door seals.....
....furflex is seperate from the rubber seals...
