I am looking to repair the interior trim of my 1970 berlina with some original vinyl. It is a dark red colour which I believe was fairly common from that period. What I am after is some old seats I can salvage material from, or even better a good front seat (driver or passenger)for a 1750 berlina. If you have something thats fits the bill packed away in your shed that you have no use for I would be keen to discuss a deal.
Thanks Tony

mate ask motor trimmers they might have something close

There are plenty of car trimmers around who could match your preferred colour. Check with some of the repair shops that specialise in restoration work and take a sample with you.
I'd be surprised if you can't find one who has the required colour and who can't do the job.

I have a pair of front seats from a 1970 Super that I am parting out which might be suitable for your Berlina. Both in pretty good condition

Thanks guys,

I have had a look at one trimmer and while the colour was good the texture and quality of the sample vinyl he showed me was not the same. My idea is if I can get some original seats in the same colour I can strip some usable material from say the backs of the front seats to make some repairs to mine. I believe this can be done.

cheers
