have you seen the Austin in-the-Shed pic and roadtest pic in this thread I've just bumped... ?http://www.austinsevenfriends.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=549

Thanks Jon, Mine seems to have the full carpet set except flooring rubber mats for the occupants footwells.

Ah a 'new' RN saloon. Somewhere between chassis numbers 148797 and 149456 the curved door pockets were changed to rectangular pockets and a strip of carpet was fitted along the bottom of the door. About the same time the carpet covered trim on the inside of the sills changed from 3 pieces of red fibre to a one-piece steel fabrication. 

As regards the floor mats/carpets I'm not sure, in 2005 I helped exhume an RN saloon which had been dry stored since 1960 and that had rubber mats on the floor and transmission tunnel. These were properly moulded Austin ones.

Thanks Dave. My chassis number 158092.
