When you find correct colour could you post up the code, it’s just I have some nos grey crackle sunvisors and if I painted them could put in my mk2, the originals are a bit rough and stiff to fold down.i had a sample of newton material and it matched my rear quarter panels so is about right.

Can i ask with a Big Please.. to send to Kolorbond in Birmingham a NOS sample of Cream Crackle that Kolourbond can then identify & mix up their sample paint to match ..( they will send back your sample material ) that paint match will be given a Vinylkote colour code & then we ALL can also order and get the original colour Cream to apply their paint onto our Crackle

I've got a similar problem with the headlining material used around the Webasto sunroof in my '63 which looks to be crackle grey. He's a snap of some material...
L to R
The grey crackle fitted at the same time as the dealer fitted Webesto in my '63
Newton Commercial cream sample
NOS sun visor the same as the ones used in my '63
Some original (or that's what I was told) cream material I've picked up along the way
A lot of that makes sense , my car was a 63 . It had a grey weave pattern headlining but not Crackle but grey Crackle visors , but when I removed the headlining I could see it had been replaced as the sound deadening on the roof had been removed . So thoughts are that the headlining would also have been grey Crackle originally. So the question is does anybody have a Grey Crackle headlining in there car that was fitted as original ?

Amazing the different materials used must be down to the suppliers they used?
I have a board visor in the grey vinyl described by Mark earlier in the listings as well as a later padded visor in the same material - have been told many a time that they aren't mini as they are the wrong material, but both came out of Mini's when they were plentiful in the scrap yards.
I maybe wrong but was the grey, non-crackle, used in some of the base models?
I'm sure that my brothers '66 Mk1 Morris has the same?

I have a spare crackle headlining that I was going to use in my mk2, I didn't because the colour was off, I will check it weekend to confirm if it is in fact grey as cant remember now.

It was a few years ago now but when I had a 1967 basic model 850 I don't think it had the crackle finish to the headlining or sunvisor. Like the vans, it was a plain greyish/off white material. I seem to remember that the BMC 1800s also had that crackle finish headlining.

Having done a bit of digging through the gash interiors I have, I have found 3 different shades in my stock. I have never noticed this before & now believe that all these variations are exactly that. . . Variations caused by slightly different mixes of vinyl used on the headlining material when it was produced. There is no sign of different colour crackle head linings being listed in the parts book. Apart from the early grey of course.
