Can anyone tell me the colour and texture of the original headlining for the M1 S. I have four headlinings of three different colours and textures all pretty dirty and brittle. Also where to get a new one from. Minsport used to have them on their web site but no longer. Apologies if this has been covered before but did a search and nothing pertinent came up.

MKO has it. Don't know how close to original it is.

It is definitely white. I've seen it close up. The lighting and camera setting makes it look yellow.

From memory the grain is very similar to the original but not exactly the same. It depends on how keen you are on restoring to absolutely original condition.

The best way I can describe a mk1 lining is like a wood grain look

When the holidays are over I'll give mini kingdom a call. I am not anal about originality but would like it as close as I can reasonably expect.
Thanks and a happy New Year.
