I've not seen it in person but hope to do so on Friday. The material feels like velvet I'm told.

I'm not sure who the original manufacturer is Tom but this is where I bought it from www.superformance.co.uk/a-246/fittings.htm

The front suspension has been built back up and the rear is in progress. The car has to be made mobile (even if that only means it can be pushed) as it's going into the paint shop on Monday   Some of the new glass arrived today and the new windshield and side windows should arrive within 3 weeks.

The new set of wheels arrived on Friday. I've gone for the Campagnola wheels which were an optional style available for the 246. I think they look more in keeping with the 70's look of the car than the standard fit Cromodora wheels. They are also slightly wider so improve the stance visually.

The car came without an owners handbook pack but thanks to some intensive research on the internet I've tracked down a set from specialist motoring literature dealers in Holland and Poland and got an exact replica leather wallet to keep them in from a UK specialist.
