Yes wings, etc all contemporary with Austin production. The chassis left Longbridge as a rolling package with wings, bulkhead, running boards and dashboard all stacked on top of a floor pan. There is a standard Austin dashboard behind the wooden facade.

The other post showing an interior is I think the car that was broken up just a few years ago.... the chassis was used for a special !
Interiors were leather or Bedford cord, mine is Bedford cord.....
It was a framed photograph purchased from a boot sale  in Leicestershire 15-20 years ago,I think the seller had picked it up from somewhere else.I haven't taken it out of the frame to see if there is anything written on the back but will if you wish,it's back on the wall in the garage at the mo.

No.....as I recall after refabricing the body over the winter of 1965/66 I did not refit the scuttle vents until later....can't remember why ! See photo I posted earlier.....
