In the 8/71 brochure there are three colours of vinyl, (even then, Alabaster is with Sumatra Green and Gentian Blue only, and the Lapis Blue only comes with Marina Blue; otherwise it's black or black). The 5/70 book doesn't list paint or interiors at all; the only interior pic shows Alabaster vinyl. Funnily enough, the brochure for the '67 MY lists the cloth as standard and vinyl as an extra cost option. Ooh the luxury...... The cloth seems to make a reappearance for the '73 MY, but as the brochure lists all the possible colours and interiors, and the Notch as well, it may not be strictly UK specific. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
