    Soft top from a S-4 or 5 and Installing on a Series 3 - WON'T FIT

    It looks like the UK clubs "Alpine guide" I think it was available to saoca members a few years back when the clubs first starting formalising ties

    Cubby Box Door

    They are usually offered with the repro dash... It would be better to make your own to get correct fitment...but unless you re-venner the whole dash the grain won't match

    Soft top from a S-4 or 5 and Installing on a Series 3 - WON'T FIT

    Also your screen rake is too far back. Get the adjusters from sunbeam specialties or Dan R to adjust the outer screen ruts up and get a even gap to the 4 window

    Soft top from a S-4 or 5 and Installing on a Series 3 - WON'T FIT

    The tops are interchangeable The issues is the pivot arms that come out of your B post will have been badly bent back by people forcing them down. You need to bend them to bring the arm further forward.

    S-III windshield chrome trim

    The body to screen rubber also goes OVER the lower trim.. that should close the final part up for you. As a side note the trims were polished stainless not chromed so if yours have been chromed you got some extra bling.

    Azure blue series IV GT

    The dash pads are comon to all cars and vaccum formed... So having different colours would be more problematic than for the soft trim ( same for the GT door top rolls) Also the daah pad being black also reduces reflection onto the windscreen

    Azure blue series IV GT

    The carpets would also be the lighter Azure blue..just the piping on the seats is the dark blue. The azure interior is one of the nicer ones as the light carpets really make the interior feel bigger

    Hardtop color?

    Most of the factory British Rally teams ran red with white roof cars.. Healey, Mini, Tiger and then the same factory teams tended to run BRG with white tops for circuit racing.

    Front valance needed for Series II

    I think they are the ex VB ones... Iirc they were a much heavier gauge steel and can take a fair bit of work to fit right

    Tire Recommendations 13”

    Also... The range of 14" tyres isn not that much better than 13 these days... It's gone to more a specialist size too. The only upside is the late 80s classics there were some higher end cars that were 14s that are now collectable...so they get some socialist tyres for those ..but at that price...

    Series II Replacement Fuel Tank

    Fred the commer guy was in the UK, and it was the first time I'd heard about an accurate repro and I've been on the international forums since the late 90s.

    wire to steel wheels..

    The lug nut hubs directly replace the wire wheel hubs. The front on all series are the same.. and same as period hillman. The rears on series I-IV are the same but series V have a different size axel. You need a hub puller for the rears and can be a total PITA....there are several threads...
