Seven Series 2 door cards

[Donnie]

Recently bought a 1962 Series 2 and would like to keep it relatively original. My door cards are black painted aluminum. I have found red/orange vinyl which is close to the original color but am undecided whether to cover the aluminum or use it for a pattern to recreate something closer to original. Anyone know what might have come with the car? Thanks for any help. Don

Not sure if it is 'original', but look at kydex, you can get it in a variety of colors and thicknesses.

I have used in in aircraft interiors.

I still have some of the material left over

 

UPS is mercenary when shipping 2 foot by 6 foot pieces so location is key, I am in the northeast

 

It is somewhat 'brighter' than the original color, so I would recommend doing the dash as well.

 

Caterham did some special editions with red interiors, but the side panels were their 2 piece style, so not correct. Some dealers[rocky mnt?] used to list pieces of material for sale years back

Found some material and recovered the aluminum. Came out great. Thanks for the replys.
