Can anyone point me in the direction of clear photos of the original interior details - I've looked in "Original A7" and at photos on ebay adverts, but can't see what I need.
I'm after the details of the trim around the Pytchley sun roof,  rear window, side windows, junctions between headlining and vertical linings etc. Which bits were material and which leathercloth ?
Any pictures or thoughts appreciated, thankyou.

I have restored a Ruby  and have photos before and after . I also have paper patterns for the whole of the interior. Please get in touch if you want more details .

The photos below may help - they have been gleaned from the internet at various times apart from the b & w one which is my car. If you are still missing anything after speaking to JoJo let me know and I can photograph /measure our own car (now restored) to make things clearer. Can't help you with the sunroof as ours doesn't have one!

The door cladding is leathercloth all the way around the top, as are the B-pillar cappings and screen pillar cappings. B-pillar cappings are square at the top. The screen pillar cappings end in a hockey-stick shape, tucked behind the ends of the panel above the screen. The rear edge of each capping (at the top) is vertical and butts against the end of the thin ply banding around the edge of the roof lining. The upper rear quarter panel is headlining and this continues above the rear side window frames. The rear window has a ply panel around it; you can see this in the first photo though the screw positions are wrong. It should also be covered in headlining. The string for the rear blind should end above the middle of the driver's door (just visible in the black & white pic). Dash and window frames all woodgrain-printed. Glove box lining is normally brown woven cloth similar in colour to the dashboard - though I have heard that some may have been headlining. Door bottoms are carpet as is the vertical panel below the rear seat and bottom of the wheelarches. The lower rear quarter panel is leathercloth right down to the floor.

I hope that's all clear!

Peter.
