Thread: 66 series 2 restored spotted.

Priceless

It"s a beauty alright and great to see it being used.The tan coloured seats was that an Australian addition ? I need to replace mine and only have seen black or a deep green.

Tan seams common in the series 2 & 2a's that I have, assuming they are the original seats. However there is also grey, light and dark green and black. Light green seems common in series 3's. I am not sure if there was a colour specific to model or model variant.
There will be others who will have a better idea about this.


Cheers, Mick.

Grey seems to have been standard in Australia for the 2a, and tan for Series 3, but as stated, other colours were supplied.

Seems a little hybrid to me. It has the early steering wheel and instrument panel but has the later cable wipers and matching screen.

The tan seats were SIII.

Looks fantastic, would love to have one. Great that's its being driven.

Hello from Brisbane.

Both the 1968 S2A SWB and 1972 2A LWB that I once owned came new with the tan seats, as does my present 1975 S3 SWB and a new (at the time) 1980 S3 SWB that my work group once owned.

Cheers,

Thanks , it would appear that tan sets were a common fit here,actually I don't mind the look of them either they fit in well with the overall scheme !
