I would be most grateful for the seat patterns, but my preference 
for the dash is definately 1800 GT with the centre console.
If you need to post anything to me, my address is:
3 Brolga Place, Belrose, NSW 2085, Australia.
I will of course reimburse you for the postage costs by return mail.
For information, I have added some pictures in my photo file (under 
my name) which shows the current state of the interior. Apparently, 
it is very common practice in Europe to strip the interior when 
preparing cars for FIA racing.
I have had several phone conversations with Dave Methley in England 
as he originally prepared the car, first put me on to it and 
supported me with advice throughout the purchase. As I understand 
it, Dave prepared and maintains most of the racing Marcos's in 
Europe today.
It occurred to me that if he regularly strips the cars in 
preparation for racing, then he might have a pile of interiors at 
the back of his workshop.
Alas, he told me that they all went in the skip! (I nearly cried!). 
He has apparently kept the best set, but does not want to part with 
it.
The car is currently on a ship heading to Sydney and due to dock on 
27th October, so I can't do anything productive until then.
My aim is to bring the dashboard and seating back to close to 
original without adding much extra weight. I will not worry about 
the rest of the interior as we are allowed to take the coverings off 
the tunnel and floors etc under our rules anyway.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Best regards
Laurie

the patterns for the seats, door panels, carpet and complete dash 
assy. I think I have the mold for the "sting-ray" dadh top cover. I 
will look through my old boxes (from 2 moves) and try to find them. 
I am doing the carpet set for my car now so I can send you those 
patterns if you would like. I have a lot of restoration photos but 
my scanner is not working, so maybe I can copy them to plain paper 
and post them to you.
