Early Mk3 question

Post by Jeff R »

Hi guys,

Sorry it's not MkI/II, but it's still fairly early!

I'm restoring a Bedouin Mk3 850 and I'd like to fit carpets to go with the Autumn Leaf interior. Snag is, being an 850 it has rubber mats. Anyone got a pic of Autumn Leaf trim in a 1000 or Cooper S so I can see what colour the carpets should be?

Thanks in anticipation!

Hello Jeff !

I just found this pretty old topic :D

Did you finished your car ?

I also have a Mk3 850 in Bedouin with Autumn Leaf interior.

Hi Jeff!

I would go for a black Carpet.

As i once worked on a mk3 850 with genuine rubber mats i would fit it a good set of black carpets if it would be my Mini...

Best regards from Switzerland
I promise i won't buy another MkI...

My 850 was that colour and trim, and it had black floor covering.
