Marlene:
The original interiors were a combination of leather and "rexine"., which
was something like vinyl today. Mostly the side panels and the rear areas
were in the "rexine". The seats were mostly leather. Most of the mirrors
used were the fender mounted "Lucas" wing mirrors. There are some "TC"
style mirrors that can be attached to the windshield frames.
I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, just put them forward!
