Guess I am vering off topic here.... but as a side note I have a one/original owner car, SV, with original rubber mats, under 24k miles with one respray coming in for a freshen up some time here in the next week or so. Hoping it is a very correct car and am thinking to do a detailed photo documentation of the car. Not real sure what we can do with the images but maybe, that is provided the car is as original as I am thinking it is, we can post them or someone may want them or some such.

Oh and by the way the owner is in the rubber buisness and says he can repop the mats.....now that would be something!

Jim...If this SV is an original car,please post some pictures on the forum.

Maybe a section could be created on the SAOCA site where original examples of every series coukd be available for members to reference.

I know that grey Series IV. I find it highly unlikely I've seen another that was to that high a standard. Member of the UK SAOC no doubt. It's been quite a few years (16 if memory serves) and the car is still outstanding. Well done.

I have seen dome nuts on rocker covers several times. If it is not original it is certainly a common practice......
