[ROVERNET - UK] Interior Trim for a P4

[Kent Kinard]

Hi Michael,
There are some excellent vinyls nowdays that have much of 
the look and feel of leather.  Our problem in middle 
America is that the summertime temperatures dry out 
leather very rapidly and keeping the leather fed is 
critical.  The pattern of the P4 upholstery is not 
difficult for a good upholsterer to duplicate.  What model 
and year is your P4?  I have a '52/75 with flat panels and 
a '60/100 with vertical pleates.  The '52 is very simple 
to duplicate.  Have you been on Rovernet before?  I don't 
remember your car.  Please give us some details and 
history.  There are a few more P4's in middle America.

Roverly,
Kent Kinard
Sterling City, Texas
