Mk1 Headlining

Post by JeremyD »

Is the Newton Commercial cream crackle headlining the correct colour for an early 63 Mk1 ? It looks too cream for me?

Is this what you're looking at;?

Perhaps a bit cream, but looks similar to my 66, it could just be their photography and remember computer screens are RGB and don't represent real life colours. Most of their stuff is bang on, I'd call them, they might even send you a sample.

I would say it was a very good match indeed. Hard to fit to the frame though as it is a little thicker.

My preference is a slightly mucky round the edges original.
