I have been trying to preserve all the original parts of the car since I acquired it about 10 years ago. Unfortunately, being a euro import, the fragile cloth upholstery for front and back seats was long gone by the time I became the owner. I kept the original horse hair padding and this year I trie...

Welcome to the Forum! Please share some pics of the '66 pigalle interior if you can...pigalle rubber mats are rare!

I know that they changed color throughout the 70's and I saw a lot of black ones from that later period. I was just curious to see a ...

Hello all, I would like to see an original '66 vinyl tool pouch. They changed throughout the years from the cloth "roll" style to the vinyl types of the mid 60's. Does anybody have an original one that came with the car in 1966? I'm attaching a picture of what it looked like in 1967, but I...
