Morris Oxford Interior Retrim (Revisited)

A Blast From The Past

Back in 2020, we completed this Morris Minor retrim for one of our customers. It has recently been back on-site with our neighbours at Multi-Tech Coachworks for some bodywork. We took the opportunity to photograph the vehicle as it has been two years since we have seen the car. As you can see the interior remains as fresh as it did when it left our premises two years ago.

This Morris is by no means your average off-the-shelf vehicle, with a modified chassis, fresh repaint, modified engine, and now with a totally custom interior. We adore it.

Starting off with the seats, for our keen-eyed readers you may recognise these from another vehicle. They are in fact from a Jaguar X-Type, but customised to fit into this vehicle. The rear bench is the original but has received customised foams in order to match the style and shape of the Jaguar seats. Magnolia grained leather has been used with green piping around the edges to withstand the classic look of the car.

The door cards were also styled to match with the seats, with matching leather, pleated centres, and green piping, this was achieved to great effect. Grab handles, window winders and side mirror adjustment levers were also refurbished and polished up nicely.

The headlining is trimmed in beige Alcantara which greatly modernises the interior. We do admire when customers opt for a mix of modern and classic trimming styles. When done correctly this really does make a difference, especially in retro mods with the likes of Singer and Gunther Werks.

For the carpets, we used square weave carpet with green leather binding. The same leather for the piping has been used here with the magnolia being used for the over mats.
